Egg hunt #2

For some reason this whirlpool is Evan's favorite thing at this and our local outdoor pools, even with this many people.

Egg hunt #1

Our egg hunt of the year was on a crisp sunny day.  We met up with some of our friends.

Becoming the expert egg colorer

 Here is Evan with a fresh batch of white eggs all ready to go.

Here are his two favorites.

Sneaky Leprechaun

Evan came home from school with many stories about a sneaky leprechaun who made messes and left footprints in the classroom while the kids were in the other room.  Here is his version of how to trap John, the leprechaun.

More school projects

 There are so many school projects we can only capture some of them.  The above marshmallow sculpture was one of 3 he made that week.  Below, Evan recreating the body painting.

Winter happenings

Evan is getting very good at shoveling the sidewalk.  Boredom sets in quickly when it comes to the driveway, though.

Posing in his ready to go sledding look.  The first time we went on a small hill but created leaks in our 2 inflatable sleds.  So our next outing, Daddy bought 3 new inflatable sleds labeled "for use by adults and children" at considerable expense.  We went to a new, much taller hill which was covered entirely by ice and had a few "lumps" made by other more adventurous sledders.  Evan thoroughly enjoyed the hill including the catching air going over the "lumps".  Daddy ripped one sled and Mommy exploded another one by accidently going over a "lump" and coming down hard on her bottom.  Fun for all.

But of course, this is a family portrait.

One of the more interesting school projects.
