No fooling
Sunday, April 1, 2018 at 06:59PM Oy. Haven't posted lately. Here's a bit of catching up...
Since last I posted, we've enjoyed spring break...just a quiet week at home having friends over a couple times, going to friends' houses, watching the high school production of Peter Pan that Deanna brilliantly directed, and dentist appointments for all three boys.
Also, Micah started a five week preteen yoga class through the city rec program. He says it's not as much yoga as he'd expected but seems to enjoy it okay.
And spring break ended with Noah's last JOAD tournament for the season:
;)
Not gonna lie, it wasn't great. ;P Not only did Noah not shoot as well as he'd have liked, but the tournament, itself, was just crazy bad (poorly organized and run). Alas, it's done. :) We'll wrap up the season with the team party in a week. Noah's not decided for sure whether he'll continue to compete next season once he's started college (though he's eligible to keep participating in JOAD for another 2-3 years), so this may have been his last JOAD tournament.
The following week, Micah asked to attend one of the CEC informational meetings and tours...so we did that. It was at least my fifth time doing it...my second time this year alone...but Micah enjoyed it. :) (The plan remains for him not to start there until fall 2019 for high school, but he was impatient to see what's going on.)
Oh, and remember when I was so excited about being done with orthodontia for boys? Obviously I spoke too soon, lol. After the boys' dentist appointments, Noah and I ended up at an oral surgeon consult because wisdom teeth are needing to be removed. Yay? Maybe this summer...
I also enjoyed time with a couple of good friends (two separate occasions), and Nathan and I continued our weekly date nights. Hooray!!
And, Micah's First Lego League team started meeting informally again...just every other week for a bit to stay warmed up for next season.
I think that brings us mostly up to today...
Happy Easter, everyone!
We celebrated quietly here with a few goodies for boys:
Instead of baskets this year, I used the day packs I just got for the boys for our Europe trip this summer. They pack down into a pocket and will hopefully work great. :)
And then we did our somewhat traditional egg hunt...where Nathan and I hid eggs all over the house and the boys had to try to find them. We stepped up our hiding spots this year and were entertained by the results. Plus, I saw this on Facebook a week or so ago:
So, I may have had a little fun including foil wrapped grapes in random eggs that were in the egg hunt. :) Noah discovered my joke first and was cool with it. Asher wasn't as happy, as he very much prefers chocolate over grapes, lol. And Micah felt a bit miffed that he somehow managed to only find eggs with actual chocolate in them. ;)
As another somewhat unintended April Fools' joke, half of the eggs also had salt water taffy in them. And I may have selected "fun" flavors that looked like other (desired) flavors. Let's just say that a number of the taffies have been spit out, lol.
Beyond our goodies and egg hunt, we also went on a family walk to enjoy the brisk sunshine, and Nathan made more honeycomb:
Dude. I LOVE honeycomb and don't know how I went my whole life without knowing about it. :)
Other than that, we played a number of games and just enjoyed the quiet day together.
Happy day!

I have no idea how to make honeycomb. I thought only bees made it. I want some really bad now. It looks so delicious. Glad to see you are having fun and keeping the boys entertained while learning. Wish I had gone to school like your kids do, it sounds a lot more enjoyable. I might have even gotten good grades then.
Can you please email me the recipe for the honeycomb (with the chocolate on it, of course.)?
