easter

Easter in a picture based nutshell.  Wake up to a balloon trail left by the Easter bunny, and of course, eggs! Breakfast with Carrie and her family. Dinner (not many pictures) with Andy, Kim, Roger, Jeff and Liv.  It was a good day!

The Best Easter Ever

I'm feeling a bit nostalgic today.  Henry was born the day before Easter, Holy Saturday.  I didn't really hit me around his birthday.  With the blur of parties and illness, I don't think I had time to reflect.  Today, I pulled out a bunch of baby gear for our friend Liv and Jeff's little one on the way. Seeing all the tiny gear, and all the Easter stuff brought me back to that first wonderful Easter.  The day he was born was exhausting, and not at all what I had planned.  On Easter, I was able to enjoy this little tiny miracle.  

As much as I loved this tiny little guy, being able to have this conversation is even better!  

Frida Kahlo saves Easter

Well, not exactly, but she did help. My 4th graders have been learning about watercolor techniques while studying works by Kahlo. A big thanks to my dear friend, Mrs. Harbour for developing such a great curriculum.  We combined the techniques into an Easter project, and I was pretty pleased with the results!

Of course, kindergarten Easter bunnies are also pretty darn cute!
