This was the week of Easter. For the first time in my teaching career, I had Good Friday and the Monday following Easter off, so we were able to visit family for the holiday.
 |
| While the long weekend back was mostly about eggs, the kids (and in this case, me) had a lot of fun playing games, too. They may have been some whining and complaining when someone fell, so we only played a few rounds because it got really annoying when it happened over and over... |
 |
| Ian challenged Grandpa to a few games of chess, and even though Grandpa claimed to be rusty from not playing in awhile, it must be like riding a bicycle, because he beat Ian. |
 |
| The same couldn't be said for Grandma, though, who suffered one loss after another in Guess Who at the hands of Annaliese. I even started monitoring to see if Annaliese was answering the questions correctly and she was. |
 |
| Playing with cousins couldn't be beat, either. They all took turns giving each other tractor rides, and Oliver brought his pedal tractor over as well and they had races. |
 |
| We did some experimenting with dyes this year- we used food coloring and vinegar here instead of the PAAS tabs like in years past and it worked wonderfully. Doubt we'll go back to buying them again. |
 |
| This photo just cracks me up. It's really distorted :) |
 |
| While we used the PAAS here, Grandma also tried dry rice that had been died with food coloring. Just add that and an egg in a ziploc and shake, shake, shake. The egg came out looking very textured. |
 |
| Classic hiding spot. Didn't trick her! |
 |
| Not so much a fan of prickly bushes, but he was able to get his egg, anyway. |
 |
| Pointing out Emery's orange egg to her and talking to her in a voice a few octaves higher than normal, trying to encourage her to get it. |
