Saturday/Sunday: playground, donuts, home

We had a nice rest of the weekend, although it would have been nice if it could have been a bit warmer.  We still had a lot of fun though.

Puzzles were broken out Saturday morning and the kids spent a surprisingly long time doing all of them.

In the early afternoon we went to an indoor playground.

They had a cool thing with lights that you had to hit to play assorted games.

A lot of tag and 'run away from the bears' was played too.

In the afternoon a racetrack was set up.  Joshua and JJ played well together with it for a while.  Joshua didn't always appreciate how JJ tried to play with him, so it was nice to see them together.

We had homemade pizzas and had gotten Isaac a can of olives for his.  He loved it.  I put olives on my grocery list so he can add them to pizza in the future.

We got home safe and sound.  The boys traded 3 hours of screen time in the car for 1 hour of Mario with Ben, which surprised me a bit.  But they did well.  Joshua slept half the time and Isaac managed to entertain himself the whole time.

Friday: ice skating

We went ice skating today.  I was expecting Joshua to give up right away and Isaac to figure it quickly, but it was some what opposite.

Joshua did have a hard time at first.  Nathan and I switched off skating him around the rink, but after some tests we were about five minutes from being done.  Then we were standing by Nathan and Evelyn and he balanced by himself.  Yay!  So I had him take two steps towards me.  Yay!  It just got better and better, and by the end he was faster than Evelyn, but still needed to hold a hand.  (And was in a constant state of falling.)

Isaac did well, for sure, but also struggled.  He could balance but just barely figured out how to skate.  He tried hard for an hour and then was finished.  What surprised me though was that he said it was the best part of his day and he might be interested in taking lessons.

Thursday: class

Isaac joined me during my first class today.  He had his headphones on and watched PJ Masks.  A few times he burst out laughing, and the whole class chuckled.  Isaac was oblivious, which made it a bit more funny.

Wednesday: break, day 3

This morning we went to Crazy Bounce.  I told the kids a while ago that we would go during break, but they forgot.  So they were excited to be there.  Joshua went down a medium sized slide by himself a few times, and it was fun to watch his face.  It would start out as excitement, change to terror, and then finish in triumph.

Tuesday: Flurry

Flurry was sitting on my lap today while I was playing Warcraft.  Ben and I were laughing about a bad pun, and she got mad.

Flurry always gets mad when we laugh. 

Monday: spring break, day 1

Well, today was day 1 of Isaac's "boring" spring break.  This morning I worked from home and Isaac played, cleaned his room, and took a shower.  He still said that staying home was his favorite part of the day.

Sunday: Happy Resurrection Day

He is Risen!

He is Risen indeed!

While it ended up being a rather normal Sunday, it was also a day filled with Joy.  How can one not be in awe on the day that is especially set aside to remember Jesus' victory over death?

And, as a sort-of tradition, naps were taken too. :)
