I tried very hard to get him to take a nap this afternoon, to no avail. This is what happened at dinner time, before his first bite.

Here is a picture of some father-son togetherness as S and R try out their new Lego Marvel Superheros video game.

Of the many photos we took of the boys in their Easter outfits, this is the one where both boys were smiling and looking at the camera (or at least close to looking at the camera)!

Here is H participating in his first Easter Egg Hunt. You can see the joy in his smile, peeking out from under his floppy hat. H didn’t really know what he was looking for at first, but he was pleased to doing the same things as the “big kids” (you know, like 3 year olds). We forgot to bring Easter baskets, so we had the boys use some insulated shopping bags we keep in the car. H insisted on carrying his own bag and once he started to find eggs, he kept stopping to peek into his bag and make sure his eggs were OK.

More coloring from S.

H in a thoughtful mood.

On this day, we prepared some Zimbabwean recipes I found online, listened to mbira music as we ate, and then tried our hand at Kudoda, a Zimbabwean children’s game. As I understand it, Kudoda is usually played with pebbles, but we used marbles. We weren’t very good, but it was fun to try.

The boys picked these flowers for Easter.

S is coloring in a picture of Noah’s ark at Family Home Evening.

Sometimes people post motivational statements like, “Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels.” I have to say I am skeptical of such statements. I present chocolate raspberry brownies as evidence.
