Some April Catch Up

So much catching up to do. Wish me luck.

 

After all the birding fun we had that one weekend, we stayed closer to home after that... at least for a few days.

 

Tuesday, April 20, was Cheddar Fries Day. I made a cheddar cheese sauce and put it on fries. Jet preferred cheddar cheese and fries. But mostly the cheese.

 

Wednesday, April 21, I went to visit Jeremy as he was building balloon sculptures for Thanksgiving Point's Tulip Festival. He and I also got to present in a Zoom meeting with a friend from our former ward. She had us talk about balloon sculpting, how we got started, what challenges and rewards there are, etc. It was nice.

Thursday, April 22, was Earth Day. We compared Nichole and Jr. in their shirts they won last year in the Earth Day contest at the junior high- last year and this year. 

The kids had some running around time outside... including Jet. Nichole had the camera out to take pictures of birds and ended up taking more pictures of Jet.

April 22 was also Jelly Bean Day. We had some fun and used jelly beans as playing pieces for a "Sorry!" type game. Anytime someone's piece got knocked off, they got to eat it. Then they got a new jelly bean on the board. That was pretty fun. I also feel somewhat proud of myself for putting plastic wrap on the board since we were putting "food" on it.

Friday, April 23, was National Picnic Day. While preparing, I told everyone to get a bag of chips to go in their bag for dinner. Jr. Jr. came out with this bag of "chips."

Then he came out with a huge bag of tortilla chips. Yep, he's definitely our child.

The weather wasn't as cold this time so the kids and I went to a park and had a decent picnic then had fun running around for a while playing frisbee and with a ball.

April 23 was also Cherry Cheesecake Day but I didn't get around to making cheesecake, even though I bought a mix from a box. I made it the next day, though, so we celebrated Cherry Cheesecake Day Observed. 

We also celebrated Pigs in a Blanket Day Saturday because that holiday was actually on April 24.

Sunday, April 25, was Telephone Day so we called Jeremy's parents. It was also World Penguin Day so we ate more fish sticks.
