Easter 2022

By -
You just saw this photo! But to catch you up, we went to Florida for spring break, and dyed Easter eggs there. We flew back to Chicago on Saturday just in time for the bunny to make an appearance.




The Bunny did his/her/their usual graphic clues.

This year Alice was INTO it. And got it after the first clue.



Brock's clues were way to easy (the bunny was tired after his/her/their travel from Easter Island). More math clues for next year we'll request from the Bunny. So Brock found his basket fast and got in a little on Alice's hunt. Although she was rocking it fairly fierce.

Yay! Success!

The Rays are feasting from the Easter basket spoilage.



As usual we had ribs and carrot cake. It was an exceptionally delicious cake this year. We took a break to have some bubbles with the neighbors then returned to eat more sugar and build legos.

They each got a paint your own bird house in their baskets and concluded the day with some spring inspired artistry.

Ta DA! And a happy Easter to all!

Kindergarten graduation!

 Ah, the pomp and circumstance of a Kindergarten graduation.  The wonderful Principle Korth at the podium... The event began with the graduates singing a song to their teacher: And then the main event! Then we adjourned to the playground for cake and popsicles.  Alice with one of her closer friend, Chloe. And her AMAZING teacher who we will miss so much, Ms. Heintzelman! It has been a really good year! Alice has bloomed in reading and math and particularly in her interest and understanding of sociology and science. She even made a few friends! I can say I learned more from than even Brock's first year of public school. I began volunteering on Friday mornings in December after her school received 100 new refugee students from Venezuela (her school went from 200 to 300 in a day!). I did not want to volunteer in the classroom, but instead wanted to help out with admin, but that was not where humans were needed, so I ended up in the neighborhood third grade class. This was way outside

Camping Disc Golf 2017

Uh. When the going gets rough, the rough roughs it! And off we head to Michigan for our annual camping and disc golfing extravaganza. We are last minute campers and it worked to our advantage this year. As everything else was booked, we ended up at a little "secret" campsite we know of in western MI called Timberview. The nice old man that runs it got sick of loud campers, so he pulled all listings off of the internet. It's not on google maps. We were lucky enough to drive by one year and just stop in. And now that we have a kid, he set us up in the nicest secluded campsite, of which we took two pictures (we're bad at this sometimes.) There was wonderful hiking, an assortment of mushrooms to discover, and a giant hill of majestic old-growth pines that Brock aptly named "pine tree heaven." It's also quite refreshing to be in a site where you are actually allowed to gather your own firewood, and it's low-traffic enough that there is plenty.

 Brock was given the assignment of memorizing the poem "If", by Sir Rudyard Kipling. It is a wonderful poem, here was his submission to his teacher. They were also called on at random times through out the year to recite various verses impromptu in class. So deep.
