cracking up in march

This week we have been cracking up, so today we rounded up some craft kits to help.  We also shopped for Easter dresses and went to Applebee's for lunch.  We went all-out. This winter is NOT going to hold us hostage no more.

I bought the kids flip flops and Tim a bathing suit, and p.j. a t-shirt and skirt with tulle. Yes, we are moving on.

Lydia is working on coloring diagrams in a fancy book.  These two are making crystals from a kit.

Tim thought Dad would find it fun.   Dad got to the part in the size 2 font directions where it said to measure 68 ml of water and heat it to boiling and decided this was more of  a mom type deal.

 We have a little cup that actually measures in milliliters, so we were okay.


There they are, ready to grow crystals. We'll see if they do or not. I hope it's not a huge disappointment.

And then, still feeling in a project sort of mood, they found this old baking soda and vinegar rocket. I thought we had no vinegar, but I was wrong. They dug in the pantry cupboard by the back door and found some.

They are wearing swimming goggles because they experienced vinegar in the eyes one other time. (Didn't like it.)

 



And tomorrow is Friday, best day of the week.   A couple guys are coming here to be watched while their parents enjoy dinner at a restaurant without them, and that fine little dog who just turned two is coming to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's for the weekend.

love you all so, Mom
