Easter-Time Festivities

Easter is a very important religious holiday, and I don't like to detract from its importance with Bunny-talk... However, bunnies, eggs, (and chocolate!) are fun and pretty harmless. We've worked out the conflict by arranging for the "Easter Bunny" to deliver baskets on Saturday, so the kids can have their fun and then (theoretically) settle down for Easter Sunday....

This year the kids "rolled doubles" --- when we went out to join the Boschi's for dinner, they had more fun stuff planned for the kids. Aaron & Melinda were there, of course, with Evie (3) and Lizzie (1yr), who were just beside themselves with excitement. Aunt Jana, Uncle Dennis, and Carmen had baskets of treats hidden around the house for all of us, including the grown-ups! Once we had our baskets, we took the kids out to hunt eggs in the yard....

Mike's "Book"

Well, I'm sure it's obvious by now that I/we are enjoying the "Smilebox" program! Last week while Matt was gone, I let the kids each take a turn working on a project with me. I'm still finishing up the girls', but Mike's is ready for launch...

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

This one is a scrapbook, again, so you have to click the little buttons underneath (after it loads into its own browser window) to "turn" the pages...

...I'll be sure to let Mike know if anyone leaves comments for him/us about his "book".... :-)

April Fool's Fun

In honor of this day of silliness, here's another "smilebox" creation --- this one is a slideshow:

Also, if you want a fun song for the day, check out the April Fool Song.
I learned that song in Kindergarten and hadn't heard it since! (I could only remember the opening line and the part about the pig in the parlor and was delighted when Google "found" it for me!)
