Maw Susan's Green Thumb

I did not inherit my mom's natural ability to grow things like flowers, plants, and vegetables.  But I haven't denied my kids the opportunity to try themselves.  Of course, I do try to recruit Maw Susan to help.  The Easter Bunny brought the kids small green house containers where we planted zinnias and tomatoes.  While Maw Susan was visiting she helped the kids transfer the plants to larger pots.

Snack Time or Art Time

We enjoy eating here in the Walker house.  I also like to find ways to keep the kids entertained so...

1.  We created ice cream sundaes in waffle cones.

 
2.We made homemade butter with some leftover heavy cream I used in a recipe.
 

 
3.  Writing and painting with pudding.



 
4. We painted flour tortillas with food coloring gel.

Rolling Skating Party

One of our good friends had her birthday party at the local skating rink.  I remember having my own birthday party at a skating rink.  I used to love skating and found out that I still do.  Paul didn't look very steady out there but he did join in the races coming in...LAST.  Ha, ha!


Back in my day, they didn't have these awesome skate helpers.  The kids were able to get around and really enjoy themselves.


The Birthday Girl




We all had a great time, but my legs were so sore the next day.  I think it was a great workout and can't wait to go again.

Easter Extravaganza

The Easter Bunny was very generous this year.

 
 
 But first he left a trail of glitter and confetti from the kids bedrooms to their baskets.


Sophie couldn't even be bothered to sit in the chair...she was on top of the table in seconds, checking out all the goodies.






 
Logan George was a little disappointed because the Easter Bunny didn't hide any eggs for them to find.  I remedied that by "texting" the bunny who came and hid some while we were at lunch (and before the grandparents showed up).
