Saturday: rugs

Pat came over for a visit this morning.  While she was here, the boys were running the couch/table course.  Isaac decided that turning was too hard, so he moved all the rugs from around the house and put them in the corners that were hardest to turn for more traction.

Then they all ended up by the front door.  I'm not sure why.

Just a normal day at our house.

Friday: breakfast and visit

Yesterday I was making breakfast.  It was a bit out of order because Isaac was moving a bit slowly.  Then this happened.  Isaac's oatmeal in my Cheerios.  Luckily it was before I put my milk in, so I at least saved my Cheerios.

Today we went to visit Ben's Grandma.  Joshua was entertaining as normal. :D

Thursday: cirimeter

Ben and I are currently in charge of Isaac's math homework.  Last week in school they talked about shapes.  So this week we talked about area and perimeter.  He figured it out pretty quickly with squarish shapes, so the last homework included some circles.  He started it yesterday and we were reviewing it today...I asked him what the C in Pi*d = C stood for and he said "Cirimeter".  While not correct, it sure is a good description.

(While a minor point, we rounded Pi to 3.  It's just an approximation not matter how many decimals are used, so why not use zero decimals.)

Wednesday: Easter Egg hunt

Today at karate there was an Easter egg hunt.  Blindfolded, because there's no where to hide the eggs out on the mat.

But first some practice...

Spreading out the eggs...

They let Joshua come join us.  I'm not sure if it's because I also attend or if all other kids could come out and Joshua was the only other kid.  Nice of them either way.

Finding eggs...

And getting candy.  Joshua was so excited after opening every single egg.  (And Isaac had the foresight of trading his gum, knowing I'd take most of it away.)

Tuesday: warm clothes

Warm clothes in the dryer: enjoyed by people and kitties.

Monday: a pretty good day

Today was a pretty good day.  I actually got some housework done.  (And it was house cleaning day, so the house is relatively clean too!)

Joshua knocked his head very hard on the table though.  He has a good bruise and proceeded to take a nap for about an hour.  It worked out ok though, because then he didn't have to come to karate with me.

Sunday: Palm Sunday

Happy Palm Sunday!

Isaac and Joshua went into church waving palm branches today.  They held hands down the aisle for the first half...Joshua might have been a bit nervous.

Joshua also took his first communion today.  There is no rule on when a child can start taking it and Joshua was interested.  We talked about it yesterday and he loved God and said that he believed that Jesus died on the cross for him.
