Miscellaneous

Some introductions are in order.  Meet Princess Curly,

 and her brother Wiggles.

 I didn't realize we had stadium seating in our home!

 Here's Sprout trying to get in on Munchkin's photo op.

 Munchkin has finally figured out how to pump his legs to go on the swings!!!!

 Little Dude's preferred activity at a sandy park...digging the deepest hole possible!

 Princess Curly practicing her mobility.  She was pretty tipsy a month ago-but is getting her sea legs now!

 Handsome Wiggles!  He's even got dimples when he smiles.

 Woohoo!!  Down the slide.

 It's a great thing to have big brothers who are willing to give you a push!

 The last day of Munchkin's 'fro'.  We cut the curls that night and he's down to just 1/4 inch of hair.  Looks WAY different!

 Big brother walking.

 Sprout went down and is now thinking he'll go up the same way.

Some homeschool 'stuff'

Munchkin has been on a massive LEGO build streak.  Here's one build he's especially proud of - these are builds that he creates himself, no LEGO instruction booklet!

 His pick-up truck.  He later upgraded it to a big rig and built a flat bed trailer to go with it.

 We took part in a 3 hour Bugology Class at a lake outside the city.  We'd learned some stuff about insects, but now was the time to put our knowledge to the test!

 Even Sprout got in on the action.  The class was for 5-8 year olds, but since it was a homeschool class younger siblings were allowed to participate with parental assistance.  I was surprised how little assistance Sprout needed, he was ALL IN!

 Then they played a game to teach them about predators and prey and about how environmental hazards work their way up the food chain.  Munchkin was one of the lowest on the food chain - a shrimp.

 Little Dude was half way up the food chain - a duck...when the game started, he went looking for Munchkin and Sprout (among others) to steal the food they'd been 'eating' and putting in their buckets.

 Good thing Sprout runs fast!!...those 8 year olds have long legs!

All the boys had fun and fortunately it was a beautiful day! 

Hello again!

 What is this you ask?  This is Munchkin's LEGO rendition of a wrestling match between him, Little Dude and Big E.  I'm pretty sure Big E is the one on the bottom!

Here's a peek at the real thing!

A fun time was had by all at Easter...the Easter Bunny was a little wiser this year and so while maximum fun was had...minimum candy haul was in evidence.

 Some wanted to hunt practically naked!
