3-17-09 to 3-20-09 Tuesday to Friday

Tuesday 3-17-09 Happy St. Patrick's Day The boys all wore their green to school today. Josh brought home a cabbage plant. 3rd graders across the nation are in a contest to see who can grow these huge caggabe plants. So let's see how Josh does with feeding, watering, and checking on his cabbage plant (kind of like a new pet)! Jared brought home a tiny cup he set up in his classroom as a Leprechan trap...only the Leprechan shrunk his cup and left him a note saying he was too clever to be caught. Jaydon had a pocket full of (fake) gold coins he hunted for on the playground at school. Apparently, he was quite successful in his hunt, because he had a bunch!
Wednesday 3-18-09 After school, they kids and I made these colorful "eggs" to start decorateing for Easter. We blew up small balloons, soaked some rainbow colored yarn in Elmer's glue, and wrapped it around the balloon. When they were dry (the next day) we popped the balloon and colorful eggs!
Thursday 3-19-20 I've been making smoothies for the kids after school. What a great snack...fruit, yogurt, and a little flax seed meal for extra nutrition! Yummy!!!
Friday 3-20-09 Happy 1st Day of Spring I decided to take a picture of the front of our house on the day of each new season. I have tulips coming up and a lot of ground cover is already green. The grass has not started greening yet. It is so dry. I'm sure after a little rain (or snow) it will get green. The weather has been so nice we have all had spring fever.
