Since the big kids were gone we watched a movie at slept in the basement. We got up the Tuesday morning and watched some more shows!! and then I turned the projector off and it shocked and the power turned off and now it is broken 🙁
We had some good schooling in teaching Millie how to blow bubbles!!!!
April 13th we hit the HOMESCHOOL again! I was pretty bummed about missing our spring break plans but we made the most of it.
That evening we sent the 4 oldest kids with Udine, Luca and Mia to camp at Willow Park in Lehi. They just did an over nighter but they loved being out and exploring. It was Cold. They came home early the next morning.
we woke up to CHOCOLLATE BUNNIES HIDING EVERYWHERE and took an hour or two searching for our baskets! they were all over the house this year – all levels and all very well hidden.
We had our at home church! It is such a good thing. I really feel the spirit each week and I love having a bigger hand in my children’s testimonies and spiritual growth. I enjoy hearing Ben’s testimony and I love that we can worship like this at home! Jesus REALLY LIVED AGAIN!!!
We had the Falabella’s over for Easter Dinner – Ham and potatoes, rolls, jello, the works! and then the Easter Egg Hunt!
It took a while to find ALL of the eggs and then we chilled and candy swapped until it got cold.
And then right before Bedtime, Joel and Megan and the kids came for a driveby visit! It was so good to see some family! I miss EVERYONE.
We woke up to a note on the door! The kids got to hunt some eggs! and later in the day Matt and Jamie’s family came and hid some eggs for us to find!!
We woke up and got a bunch of chores done so that we could dye easter Eggs! I’ve been mowing Brewers area every week to keep the grass manageable. The rest of the lawn doesn’t need much yet.
The final products:
We finished the day and the SPRing BREAK just hanging with eachother and with the next door cousins. Forts and Portal.
We had a CHALK the WALK with our neighborhood! We spent the entire morning coloring our driveway. Then we spent the afternoon chilling outside with neighbors and looking at everyone else’s driveways.
Falabella’s won the contest. Luca did some Pokemon. Mia did the beach and Lalo did Elsa!
Millie and Tiago had been begging to slipnslide so I finally gave in. It was COLD but they still had fun for about an hour.
That night we went to Wendy’s drive thru to break our fast. We ordered on line and then waited in a line of about 20 cars. The JCW line was halfway down the block. ALL of PG/Utah county were breaking our fast at the same time! It was actually pretty incredible. We all fasted for relief from Covid19. It was hard. It was a sacrifice but I believe it helped and I believe our kids were strengthened.
Thursday the kids slept outside and actually slept in. They spent most of the day making a lip sync video with Ben! It turned out SOO GOOD. Please go find it on Utube.
Lego Puzzles! and more creations! We spent a lot of the day out back playing spyder pong and badminton and eating pizza.
We ended the night with an outdoor movie! ONWARD… and then most of the kids slept outside!!!
