Some things we did last month:<\/p>\n

I started a big cross stitch and Jack wanted to learn!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mega tent fort<\/p><\/div>\n

Cosplay and chocolate frogs to watch Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, which we finally finished reading aloud!\u00a0 We started in August.\u00a0 Sheesh.\u00a0 Good movie, but we liked the book better.<\/p><\/div>\n

During Harry Potter, Sam and Ben had a movie fort night.<\/p><\/div>\n

Sam’s art assignment to draw from the Met gallery.<\/p><\/div>\n

Jack’s art assignment, he did a parody of Perseus.<\/p><\/div>\n

Easter happened!\u00a0 Ben and the boys dyed eggs.<\/p><\/div>\n

It snowed a lot Easter morning.<\/p><\/div>\n

We kept finding eggs in the melt days later.<\/p><\/div>\n

Animal Crossing fever has swept the house, and I’m the worst.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

Sam is obsessed with drawing.\u00a0 At night I often find him clutching his pencil or laying on a spiral notebook.<\/p><\/div>\n

Jack got a second pair of glasses.\u00a0 They look great too!\u00a0 He switches between them every few days.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

Snow can’t stop Freddy!<\/p><\/div>\n

Determined to enjoy the outdoors.<\/p><\/div>\n

Hot chocolate and marshmallows after a cold recess.<\/p><\/div>\n

Sunny days are scooter days.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Sam’s music teacher had them submit videos and pick music to set the mood.\u00a0 He returned Sam’s video and he was delighted with the result.<\/p><\/div>\n

Reading time for school spent in the hammock.<\/p><\/div>\n

We are planting a vegetable bed this season.\u00a0 The kids picked their seeds and planted starters.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The bed is ready and waiting for hail\/snow season to pass before we transfer our starters.<\/p><\/div>\n

The kids wanted to give Freddy a walk like Nimbus.\u00a0 I’m not sure he liked it.<\/p><\/div>\n

The school staff had a neighborhood parade.\u00a0 We made a sign to celebrate.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It was really fun!\u00a0 The kids got big shout outs from their teachers who slowed down to call out their names and say hi. Big smiles all around.<\/p><\/div>\n

Jack learned about tensegrity structures and figured out how to build one in LEGO by himself!<\/p><\/div>\n

And lastly, an ongoing issue.\u00a0 Ugh. Nimbus has had tearing, squinty eyes for two months.\u00a0 It comes and goes and affects both eyes, one at a time.\u00a0 Is it allergies? A cold (she was sneezy for a week)? Her eosinophilic keratisis from December? It suddenly flared in one eye so I took her to the vet that afternoon – she got a corneal laceration!\u00a0 Totally unrelated to the ongoing squints.\u00a0 In fact, this photo is post injury.\u00a0 It’s her left eye that got cut, and yet she’s squinting the right eye!<\/p><\/div>\n
