April 2012 Events and Non-Events

Ryan is pretty fast at sorting by color, counting, and graphing (help with graphing) when it means eating jellybeans is the final step of the process.

And there he is, eating away.

Ryan and Justin's graphs in the window.

Easter egg covered with stickers hanging from fan on patio.

Cardboard ovals covered with foil and tissue paper squares.  Not exactly like the samples I saw online, but fun for the boys.

Scholastic tadpole book on a pocket chart.  Ryan can sequence the pictures and Justin can do the words.  Of course Justin often likes to change them around to make them "funny" in his opinion at least.

Our Easter eggs made out of glue covered yarn wrapped over balloons.  Yeah, they looked different on Pinterest and just about every other place I saw them online.  Justin didn't want to touch the sticky yarn and Ryan only wanted to put his hands in the glue.  Sigh.

Mine turned out a bit better, but it looks like a ball instead of an egg.  I thought that the water balloon looked egg shaped.  Guess I was wrong.  Oh well.

We made Easter bunnies and filled with cookies and/or stickers to give to friends.

Our Easter eggs.  I love the brown one on the back row.  Yep, after all the time Ryan spent on the egg he was able to dye the brown egg brown.

Ryan has his Easter Bunny shades on to help him find the hidden eggs.

Justin's basket is full and he is ready to find out what is in the eggs.

After getting his stuff out of the basket, Ryan donned an Easter bonnet.  Very attractive, Ryan.

We got a huge bag of lemons from a friend.  In addition to lemonade and lemon bread, we did some lemon science experiments. We also made some household cleaners from lemons.  Next up, lemon bars and lemon meringue pie.

Playing on the playground at the petting zoo.  Ryan is the faster, braver climber.

We had a wonderful vacation in Cape Town, South Africa.  More about that on the other blog.

We filled bowls with baking soda and used droppers to put in dyed vinegar.  The boys LOVED it.
