It is one of those days at school. It begins with Emersyn’s school Easter party – after Easter! Jennifer Jenkins (Sean’s Mom), Kim Frasier (Justin’s Mom) and I are the Class Room Moms. We have organized the food and games for the party. The party is from 1:30 to 3:00. No rain so all is going according to plan.

Our first game was to hide eggs with puzzle pieces (which meant we had to find every egg or the puzzle wouldn’t work). The children would find the eggs and put the puzzle together back in the classroom. Once the puzzle is together, they would have to guess where to go from the clues on the back of the puzzle. Our clues took them to the library to a book. The note in the book brought them back to the classroom for a bag of treats.

We hid the eggs in the Founders Garden. We had the kids sit as we explained the game. Everyone got up to find the eggs and Emmy took a head dive off the top seat (rock walls to the left in the photo below). I was standing right next to her when she did this. She hit the ground with a huge thud. I was expecting a bloody mouth, a broken nose or a goose egg on her forehead. She had a scratch on her nose – one little scratch. All three of the Moms were amazed. I asked throughout the night if she had a headache or felt bad – no.

After our egg/puzzle game, the children made a cross for the classroom working together. It came out great. No photo – oops! The kids enjoyed snack brought in by parents of the class.

While I was finishing up the Easter party, Mr. Nie went to get Elle at school. She finishes at 3pm. After school, we had scout meetings tonight. Elle’s Daisy troop is earning a “it’s a girl thing” patch. Our Junior girls helped with nails, make-up and tattoos. It is an easy meeting for us leaders – whew! Scouts finish at 5:30.

We went for a quick burger at the Blue Frog as Jennifer and I have tickets to the High School Musical, Aida. Wow, what an amazing performance and it was high schoolers putting on the production. A couple of the girls can really sing. The musical ended at 9:30. It was after 11pm when the girls got to bed. Tomorrow we leave the house at 6:30am for out Panda adventure!

Days like this always keep life fun and interesting!
