Creating Fairy Garden Terrariums

Vala and Lowell joined me to create fairy garden terrariums and did a beautiful job.

Swimming Safety

Adam started swimming lessons to get ready for the summer and also for water safety.

Sharing Some Laughs

Colin and Pops were finding owl and hawk sounds. Not all were what we were expecting.

Photographing Children

It was supposed to be simple to take the photo but, no, this happened.

 

Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice

Colin enjoyed exploring the dinosaur exhibit at Crown Center. It's a traveling exhibit created by the Minnesota Children's Museum.

 

Recycling Holiday Lights

Many folks in and around Mission had Christmas lights to recycle. I do wonder where they end up. The manager at the desk didn't know.
 

Happy 4th Birthday!

We celebrated Colin's birthday with a Goldilocks and the Three Bears party. He was rarely still long enough to be photographed. I attempted to teach them how to build a birthday pyramid. Cousin Libby joined us.

 

Time to Bake

Having an hilarious time making cookies.

Snow Humor

I enjoyed this display on Roe. Thanks to Calvin and Hobbes for the inspiration.
 

Celebrating Kansas Day

The Eudora kindergarteners did a rousing musical of Kansas themed favorites for their program. Vala is in the center with a bison on her head. 
She was easy to spot in her hot pink.

 

A Fine Spring Day

Wishing Susan a happy birthday today. Here she is with Lee on the eve of their wedding. Love the length of her dress. 1974
 

The Boy Loves the Snow

Colin did not want to come inside.

 

Celebrating the Snow

We experimented with a snow volcano and made snow ice cream to take advantage of a snow day. It was an invigorating 1°.

Adam measured our snowfall at 5 inches.

Walking Warriors

I wanted to prove that we were indeed out walking early this morning in the bone-chilling cold. I didn't take time to focus carefully as I had to have my glove off to take the picture.
 

Wonder What Squirrels Do in the Cold?

You can see them here in the early morning up in the tree, all balled up. Seems precarious and cold.
