Half day of school on Arbor Day. Sunny weather.
A beautiful day at the arboretum. The water is on for splashing. The daffodils are blooming.
SPRING!

Future grammar police?
Ivan was really concerned about whether “persons” was a word.
Rocky Road is now Ivan’s favorite ice cream flavor
Happy National Poetry Month
Ivan has a new and not encouraged habit of liking to take his shirt off. Note that it is no where near warm enough for this. Also he enjoys the zany poetry of Shel Silverstein.
Intergenerational Jigsaw
Team effort – relying on the kids’ Pokemon knowledge and their grandparents years of jigsaw experience to put it all together.
Team DJ on the air
This trio is hosting their own radio show playing Parry Gripp tunes and telling jokes. Cautioning each other to avoid dead air.
Leprechaun Hunt
The kids are pretty sure there’s a leprechaun lair in this hole by the bridge. There are clover nearby. Sure sign. They developed a plan to catch him collecting sticks with which to “stun” him but he never came out. There’s a more in depth plan in the works for leprechaun catching next year.

Sudoku on Sunday
Book Pile #4
We’ve started making these piles of completed reading.
This is our most recent.
I only have one book in it. Most of them are Ivan’s reading – though Ezri contributes strongly. Eric occasionally adds to the pile too.
Ivan’s most exciting literary discovery is probably the Danger is Everywhere series he loves the weird acronyms and the page 9 scorpion. Don’t turn to page 9! He checked other books outside the series around our house and informed me that he hasn’t found any page 9 scorpions in them. But he hasn’t checked them all yet.
