1st Grade Showcase

Owen and his first grade classmates put on a fine show tonight!  We were treated to several songs and readings.  It was quite impressive!  The atmosphere was completed by student artwork and classwork hanging around the gym.

YANK!

Owen's been working on a 2nd wiggly tooth on top, and this one has been stubborn.  In the Easter post you can see it hanging on, and it did all week.  Today he was desperate for it to vacate his smile.  We went into the kitchen and I gave it a YANK! and out it came.  He was all smiles, short on teeth, but all smiles.  We'll have to see what the Tooth Fairy thinks of his chomper tonight.



Easter

Last weekend the Easter Bunny managed to hop through our house and leave an abundance of eggs.  He also hid some beautifully dyed ones that we left out for him.  The kids had fun hopping around the house picking up their treasures.






 
After the egg excitement, we had Easter-skivers and colored milk for breakfast.  YUM!  I think the sugar buzz lasted through Tuesday.

We had Papa Denny and Grandma Rogers over for Easter dinner, and Grandma Baleiko came for a visit later in the evening.  It was a very fun day.



Note crooked wiggler in this smile....

Tractor Fun!

This picture was taken during the bizarre March heat wave.  We've since come back to the normal seasonal temps of low 50s.

Condo Updgrades

With the recent security breach at the Chicken Condo, the residents lodged an official complaint with the Condo Association.  Some upgrades were made to the perimeter, and especially the roof (It is now covered with chicken wire, not just poultry netting).


Easter Egg-stravaganza!

We are busy prepping  beautiful eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide for us this weekend.  We used our own chicken's eggs this year, and tried out dying the brown and blue eggs they give us.  They turned out really well!  This year we also added glitter as the finishing touch to the oval artwork.  Very nice!
