Today was a fun day! I planned a little Easter Party for the kids I tutor and they had a blast. They made Peanut Butter Eggs dipped in chocolate and bunny cakes. I made them do all the cooking so they could use some of their measuring math skills. Of course, if it was a fraction that meant small so they automatically went for the measuring spoons instead of measuring cups. So I had to catch them a couple of times adding 1/4 tablespoon instead of a 1/4 a cup. They covered themselves in chocolate and had a blast doing it. I made them promise to eat some vegetables today to help balance out all that sugar.
On another note, we've decided to try the gardening thing again this spring. Last year we couldn't really produce anything. We learned a lot from last year's garden and we are hoping to get some good stuff from Mother Earth this year. We've been talking today about the best way to make a compost heap. We are making an small effort to be more environmentally friendly. Craig took some pictures of the kids out by the garden today. They are LOVING the garden. I've planted a bunch of seeds for flowering plants as well. Hopefully we'll be seeing lots of blooms and butterflies very shortly.

Wow the garden looks good! Ethan had a blast and so did Elissa, thanks for letting her join the fun. You are the best!!!!
Um, um, um! I would have liked to have been at that party! How yummy were those chocolate eggs? The bunnies looked cute! I so couldn't have gotten as messy as Brailee and Elissa, though! :) Love you
The garden looks great. Those two are growing fast. I do love chocolate covered eggs.
