When I planned out our school calendar, I lined our spring break up with the cousins, because if I've learned anything the past year, I don't really know what 5 months from now will look like. We didn't head to Texas, but did enjoy taking a week to play and acclimate to the time change.
These were technically our science projects that we did on Wednesday, but I'm throwing them in just the same. We floated a needed on water, and painted with shadows.
Billy had a craving for chocolate, so we brought all the kids to the chocolate shop. I told them they could pick out one thing. I didn't realize that the would have their Easter selection up, so they all came home with giant, solid, bunnies. There was a building nearby that the kids enjoyed to do some "parkour."
William exploring practical physics in his free time.
Billy and I had a Sunday afternoon date to Dimes (again courtesy of my awesome mother.) We hadn't been since before the lockdown, and it was nice to get out.
Something pushed a brick into the basement! = 0 I still don't know what type of animal it is. And the first two places that I called (on a Friday) were not able to help me out. So, It's a battle that has been pushed out until Monday. It did give me a chance to clean up though, so the shelves look better than they did, just with fewer bottles on the shelf.
St. Patrick's day came and went without much fanfare. We did have fun hats and green milk though.
My mom treated us to Raya and the Last Dragon. We went to the first showing, and there were very few people there. It was very cute, and it felt nice to go out into society a bit.
One Wednesday, we had less fun, with an afternoon dentist appointment in Ann Arbor. Since William had such early tooth loss, his teeth shifted, and he's been referred to an orthodontist (also at U of M.) Of all my children he dislikes the dentist the most, so I feel bad that he will now have to go more than the others.
Alice and I went in search of some Japanese treats (we kept the wrappers from Christmas) but didn't find much in the way of Japanese cuisine. We did find lots of other goodies. The biggest fail: rose flavored Turkish delight. The biggest success: a coconut. lol.
Billy had to drill a hole into it, so that everyone could try the coconut water. Emily genuinely liked it. Everyone else enjoyed the novelty.
It wasn't the most spectacular of spring breaks, but it was nice to recharge (and recalibrate) to prepare us for the final 9 weeks of our school year!!
later days
