Easter 2012 - Part 1

Playing in the kids area at Seatac Airport

After refusing to fly anywhere for over a year, we buckled down and went to sunny SoCal for Easter. And, we had a great time! We are so blessed that Phil's job allows him the flexibility to work from anywhere, so we were able to be down there for 2.5 weeks.

One of the major perks (of which there were many) was the weather. In Seattle, we had not had any consistency in the weather which has made it very difficult to plan to go outside or do anything. In San Diego, we were able to go outside almost everyday and at any time of the day. The boys loved playing in Grandma and Papa's backyard. There was a gazebo to run around, sidewalks to water paint, a playground (aka pirate ship) to dominate, a sandbox and lots of other fun games. I loved being able to let them explore outside!

It was also great just being able to put short-sleeve shirts on them. I've missed seeing their little bare arms.

Easter Sunday was a lot of fun. We started out the day at my parent's church and then came home to more extended family and a wonderful Easter dinner. Buddy and Button got to hang out with their second-cousins A and S which was a real treat since they have no first cousins of their own. Buddy and A were especially cute together!

Eating Resurrection Rolls

After Easter dinner, we let the kids open their Easter baskets followed by an Easter egg hunt. The kids had a blast.

We had a lot of fun with family. Uncles can be especially fun!

It was a beautiful weekend.

Little Disciples

As I've been learning more about Charlotte Mason and her methods, I've been thinking especially about what she means by "Education is a Discipline." As I was reading her thoughts on discipline from her Homeschooling series, I was particularly struck by the following quotation. Discipline is not Punishment ––What is discipline? Look at the word; there is no hint of punishment in it. A disciple is a follower, and discipline is the state of the follower; the learner, imitator. Mothers and fathers do not well to forget that their children are, by the very order of Nature, their disciples... How Disciples are Lured ––He who would draw disciples does not trust to force; but to these three things–– to the attraction of his doctrine, to the persuasion of his presentation, to the enthusiasm of his disciples ; so the parent has teachings of the perfect life which he knows how to present continually with winning force until the children are quickened with such zeal for virtue...

Styrofoam Tray Shrink Art

Making styrofoam shrink art was one of those fun childhood memories I have from being a kid. My mom would clean off the meat or veggie trays from the grocery store, give it to us kids to draw on, then we would watch in awe as our creations shrunk before our very eyes in the oven. I really wanted to do the same thing with my kids so I (silly-me) tried to find a tutorial of the sort on the Internet. I did this mostly because I didn't know the temperature the oven needed to be or how long it should be in there. Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't find one! The closest thing I found was this website , but there were no pictures or anything. I decided to wing it - it couldn't be that hard, right? And, yes, this craft is super easy. First, I gave the boys a clean tray and a bunch of markers for them to draw with. I had to convince them to color a lot since they were only making small markings. We put their creations on an aluminum-covered bak...

A Brand New House

Another major thing we did while my parents were here last week was a major room change in our house. It feels like a brand new home! We have a play room, the boys are now sharing a room, and Phil and I have moved into Button's old room (which was really the library/office/nursery/catch-all room). I am so excited!!! I finally feel settled into this home since there is finally a place (or at least a room) for everything. The boys seem to really love sharing a room, and they are actually going to sleep better than they were when they were separate. It's fantastic. By far, I'm most excited about our play room. This room comes right off the kitchen, and it used to be our master bedroom. Now, we have our books and toys in it which keeps our living room so. much. cleaner. This room will eventually become our homeschool room with some minor improvements in a couple of years. In the meantime, we are enjoying the extra space to play ...
