Misc. from April

Lauren gave a biography report on Sacagawea:

A coworker gave me some venison. The kids loved it. They'll look differently at Bambi :)

Jon found a recipe for healthy baked apples. They are DELICOUS!!!

Art supplies sent from Grandpa Don. A fun way to spend a chilly afternoon:

On April 21st, the kids had a snowday. The university wasn't closed so I had to work. You can see the kids watching me leave:

A moment of zen:

Lake Superior, April 21st.

Picnic Rocks on Easter Sunday

Happy Easter

An Easter cake from Mimi, a yearly tradition. Mmmmm.....

Easter morning began at 6:00 am. Yippee. They were gathering eggs by 7. At least it was not in snowbanks like last year.

Happy Spring

Science Fair

Jon's 4th grade had a science fair on Monday night. He got a gold medal, 95%. I was proud of him but he really didn't put much effort into the darn thing. I'm not sure getting a gold was a good reinforcement of his efforts. There were some really interesting projects and I think overall the kids learned alot.

Catching Up

Happy Birthday to me.....

Emmye and Steve bought me a new pair of Emu's. They're Australian sheepskin boots. Nice!

We went to a Pow Wow a few weekends ago at NMU.

Lauren't science project, a tornado in a bottle. You mix the ingredients then shake the bottle. It is really cool and was a hit at school.

Jon has a science project due on Friday. His hypothesis is what kinds of common citris fruits can light a small lightbulb. We found out none. If i remember correctly you would need about 32 to light a small 12v bulb. I'm not wasting 32 fruit.

Just for kicks, here is our cat Tara. I don't usually allow the cats on the table but she was so darn cute!

Yvonne

Hi Yvonne. Guess what---you're not the only one that reads my blog! I'll tell you all about it when we do lunch. I'll try to post more pics but honestly, i haven't been taking many lately. We've been remodeling our basement and whew, it's been alot of work. Good learning experience though. Next, we are going to gut the upstairs bathroom. Later...
