The hunt for a van that is AFFORDABLE and RELIABLE is on… as is the countdown to Easter. Race against time as usual! Well I do have a few Easter worksheets to share – all from Education.com… We have an Easter bunny dot-to-dot, a fun spring colouring page, and a decorate your own Easter egg page. They have updated their site and now I am not sure how to add things to my collections right now. 

Poor Echo has some non make-up related eye shadow on one eye but the goose egg is gone. And the baby gate is a royal pain for us all but at least now there is no repeat performance in the wings. On the plus side the bruising is not extreme for the injury so that means the aspirin is not thinning her blood too much. 

Echo and her eye

I spent some time today working on math with the boys, and we talked about Spring… so of course there is a snow warning for the area – like 15-25 cm tonight! OUCH. But that IS spring in Alberta. We are sort of playing it by ear… we do what we can, work on what we can and keep in mind that once we are settled back down we can REALLY focus on our schooling. No summer vacation here! 

Tonight was a felt night. I did get my ribbon bucket out of the bedroom before Echo went to sleep BUT found a fun new felt hair thing pattern to try out and of course scraps to make more felt bows… white, blue and green tonight. I was spoiled with some lovely peppermint tea to go with my crafting.

We are working on ideas to keep the kids busy! I have really committed to reading to the kids at bedtime. We are reading a chapter book and then the next day one of the twins is drawing something from the story to make a mini book. I will share pictures of that tomorrow. In the mean time I have some tidying to do… some bows to store and some sleep to have. At least I am feeling momentum in my crafting! It is always a pick me up!
