Spring Break 2011- Thursday

We were excited for spring break this year.  Since Easter was so late in the year so was the break.  The few days prior the weather was so nice but as soon as the kids were out the wind stared blowing and the temp dropped.  We were disappointed to say the least.  We tried to make the best of it.  On thursday we made a trip to IFA to see the baby chicks, but they were sold out, so we saw the bunnies and got some flower seed packets, soil, and pots.
 Because of the wind we had to move our project to the garage.  The kids had so much fun 
playing in the dirt
 planting the seeds
 and watering the final product
 The only problem with planting the flowers is that they take 7-14 days to germinate, I am not sure if their interest will last that long, maybe we should have planted beans...
Hopefully when they start to grow the excitement will return.
 Thursday evening we went to Great-Grandma Lois' house for an Easter egg hunt.  We trapped the kids inside while we told them how many eggs they could find etc.  it was so funny, they look like caged animals.
 They searched low


 and high
 and ultimately got a basket full of sugar to satisfy their mouths full of sweet teeth.
Grandmas house is a special place where memories are made and love surrounds you as soon as you step through the door.  We love her so much .
