Easter weekend

Ready for egg hunting

Gathering up my eggs

Here's one!

Petting a kitty cat.

Dinner at the beach - I got in a bucket

Dying eggs. I lost patience with that egg scooper (in my right hand) and just put my hand right in the bowl of dye to get my eggs out.

Doing some construction

The Monarch Butterfly: Aina Polkabot

A colleague brought me a monarch chrysalis that had formed on a binder clip. We've been watching it change over the past two weeks. 

The chrysalis

Beginning to see the wings forming
The chrysalis got to spend a few days at pre-school.
On Sunday morning we woke up to find the chrysalis turned black. We could just see the orange butterfly wings inside.
On Sunday evening the butterfly emerged




Vivi named it "Aina Polkabot" - aina after her friend and polkabot because it looked like it was wearing polka dots and vivi says polka bot for polka dots.


It's a boy! We can tell by the two black dots near the center of each of the smaller wings.

The last of the Disney photos

Vivi wanted to get her picture taken with the tractor. Here are the results.....






Breakfast at Disney
Notice the sprinkles on the mac-and-cheese. It was s buffet. She could pick what she wanted.

A belated cupcake for her 3rd birthday. She liked the Mickey sprinkles.
