Wednesday: bad streak

Joshua likes pretend bad guys.  He often plays the bad guy in his pretend play, and often wins.  (That being said, the other day he came downstairs after bedtime almost in tears because he was worried that robbers would come in and steal his money.)

We were finishing up The Hunchback of Notre Dame a few days ago, and near the end the good guy is holding the bad guy over a big drop...pretty standard movie stuff.  Joshua lets out a cheer, "Yeah!  Do it!"  It was not the reaction Ben and I were expecting, but at the same time it's pretty typical for Joshua.

Monday: wet socks

It was a pretty normal day today, but it was also the nicest day we've had so far this spring.  (Tomorrow it'll get cool again.)  The boys entertained themselves for a while on the deck with squirters.  I have no idea what they were doing, but I did hear a lot of laughter and Isaac say, "That water is so wet I can't stand the wetness." 

They were winding down when Isaac remembered playing with a wet sock last year.  He wanted to do that again.  Joshua joined him, and they entertained themselves for quite a while longer, until it was time for karate.

Joshua managed to lose one of his socks in the process...

Sunday: Happy Resurrection Day!

Happy Resurrection Day!  He is risen!

Before church we updated the fort.  It had been rather unstable.  Isaac wanted to be able to stand up in it.  We have a small part that he can stand up in and there are more supports and triangles.

After church (He is risen indeed!) we had an Easter Egg hunt at Ben's parents'.

Jamie and Ashlyn had kindly color coded the eggs and hid them with an appropriate difficulty for the kids' age.

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.)
