Nature/ spring

After the math block we celebrated a week of 

nature.  "Spring" is what we celebrated and 

looked for although this year we were having  

a bit of trouble.  We took nature walks and 

looked for signs.  It didn't seem like much was happening.

although the kids found some streams

and nesting birds. 

We started our garden seeds.

We made clay bird nests and eggs

Of course we colored eggs.

This year we used 

wild blueberries, turmeric, onion skins and paprika

Then Wes started experimenting.  

For read aloud I read the complete adventures of

Peter Rabbit of course :)

Tillie wanted to play Peter and Mr. Mcgregor

all day long.  Needless to say I did a lot of 

chasing that little bunny.

Mostly we spent the week really getting 

ready for the kids to receive their Sacraments.

Matthew has been taking religion classes for 

seven months and at the Easter vigil he received 

all of the Catholic Sacraments.  The other 

three children were baptized.  This was an 

amazing moment for our family for a lot of reasons.

Here are the kiddos with their Godparents!

Thank you everyone who shared this 

day with us.

 Matt and Lindsay you are amazing 

and we love you.
