Branch and The Girl are in serious contemplation about their math. They're in the same book, doing the same lessons, so a little peer pressure is good for both of them.
During a break, The Girl helped ChubChub with one of his books. Notice both tongues hanging out? They must be concentrating...
ChubChub has enjoyed our new chicks. All 225 of them. Yep, you read that right. 225. It's a long story.
ChubChub and The Girl enjoyed dyeing Easter eggs with two of their friends. A bit messy, but fun for all.
Mean Ol' Mama celebrated 41 years of life-as-we-know-it-on-Earth. She received many special gifts, including the one below. Lots of exciting surprises!
Her birthday is also her anniversary, and Poppins wanted to know what she wanted in celebration. Her request? Take everyone to the store and let everyone choose his favorite HUGE bag of cereal! Did you read the word HUGE? We're still eating cereal, and the kids are experiencing the "diminishing marginal utility" effect first hand. Yes, it's an economics term, but it also applies to food: it may be tasty at first, but the appeal wears off quickly after the 15th bowlful. HUGE bags, mind you. We had a lot of fun choosing, but the children understand even more clearly now why we eat the way we normally do!
Soccer games are steady and exciting to watch...
