April and Easter

 We've been doing a few fun things for homeschool lately.  First, we made these cool crystals with the kids out of Borax and pipe cleaners.  They were really easy and grew in 12 hours!

 Also, we've been raising tadpoles into frogs.  We ordered a kit with two huge tadpoles.  Then, a few days later the boys found 30 or so small tadpoles in a neighbor's pool covering.  Typical.  Now we have more tadpoles than we know what to do with!

Henry is darling.  He loves his brother Jack!

The weather finally gave us a break.  We've spent some time at local parks.

A few weeks ago, we were able to attend a fun Easter egg hunt in Morgantown at Matt's parents' house.  In addition, the kids had another egg hunt at their homeschool co-op.

We made our first attempt at taking family pictures with six kids.  Not too bad considering we used a tripod!  We'll try again when the baby can hold his head up better.

And that brings us to Easter:

Phone Update

I promised myself I wouldn't miss a month of blogging during my parents' mission and I've already missed.  It's still March, right?  Close enough.  I haven't been taking any pictures with my nice camera, but I've taken about a million with my phone.  Here are the highlights:

The boys finished basketball in February

Merrody giving a presentation on the effects of sugary drinks on teeth at the middle school.  She went with Matt when he was doing an oral hygiene thing.

 Cute baby, right?  Hopefully, I'll find my way back to taking real pictures this month!
