Happy Easter

Soccer Games are On...

We kicked off the soccer games this weekend and it was a busy day! Only a couple of overlaps between soccer and baseball and both boys' games so this season hopefully goes smooth.

Spray Paint Paintings

I had the spray paint out for some projects and the boys wanted to use it. So they got their own canvas. They spray paint as well as I do, lol. They didn't like how they turned out since it ran down their canvas. Maybe we'll give it another shot sometime.

Coloring Eggs #1 and #2

Paper Towel Method 

The boys were quickly disappointed with this one. It takes more hands/coordination than they have between holding the paper towel tight, making food coloring drops and spraying water. The paper towels turned out really cool. I thought the eggs turned out pretty good with paper towel markings on them and tie dyed but the boys weren't impressed. Probably not a repeat for us.

Rice Method

One of my favorites! We colored some rice and put the eggs in the baggy. The boys got to walk around shaking them up and making them speckled.

To Life...

Life is about to get real - Dr. McGillicuddy to the rescue. We are going to see just how much stuff we can pack into the next 4 months (or maybe 7). Is it too early to look forward to November?

Sunshine Award

Maddox recieved the Sunshine Award last week at school. His teacher's reasons - Maddox has always been a pleasure to have in our classroom. He has many wonderful characteristics that make him the person that he is: kind-hearted, positive, honest, trustworthy, and caring (just to name a few!) Maddox has been chosen to receive the Sunshine Award this week at school. Our classroom is full of wonderful and kind students but Maddox really stands out each and every day. 

Super proud of him! 

And even more proud that Macen also received this award in the 2nd grade. The event has since expanded a bit and parents are now notified in advance so we can be there when they receive their award.

Bahamas - Atlantis Resort

Our last stop was in Nassau and we did a shore excursion to the Atlantis Resort. It was a cloudy and windy day so the boys just wanted to stay in the very crowded hot tub.  

James and Macen went down the Leap of faith slide. This one takes you through a tunnel with sharks around you. Macen refused to do it again.

They raced down this one.

We headed back to the ship a little early since they didn't want to do anything but stay under the towels. We took some time to walk through the aquariums before heading back though.
