Feng Shui for the Schoolroom?

Okay, so something got into Bean today and she closed the door to the schoolroom and hung a sign on it saying that I was not allowed to enter. Kitty was allowed to go in, though, which seems grossly unfair to me!!

When she finally came out, she announced that she had "feng shui'd" the schoolroom. Here are the results:

I think she did a great job!! I don't know about any actual "feng shui" principles being applied, but I think the room is now ready for her to work in it every day and she'll be able to find things when she needs them.

Way to go, Bean!!

Winter is here . . .

. . .and it's only FOUR days after the offical start of SPRING!!

It is supposed to snow even more tomorrow. Bean is hoping that it will, so they will cancel co-op and she can have Speedy's family over for sledding and snow fun. Woohoo!

He is Risen!!

Happy Easter!

We woke up to a couple of inches of snow on the ground this morning! What is up with that? Now it looks like Christmas outside.

Bean and I had a great day together. We went to church with our friends, the Murphys. After church and Sunday School, we joined them for Easter dinner at another family's home. It was lovely. And, in case you are wondering, no, we are not sitting. She really IS almost as tall as me.

Bean's friend Sarah's grandmother sent cascarones for all the kids to enjoy. Since this is a tradition I remember fondly from growing up in Texas, I was so excited. The kids were kind of leery at first, but once Krissie showed them what to do, they were all on board with that! "You mean I can crack an egg over my friend's head and rub the confetti in while messing up their hair and NOT get in trouble? Yeah!!!"

Here are all the kids that were there to celebrate:

After we got home, Speedy's family invited us over for dessert. Bean had two (!) pieces of Sarah's friend Rylan's made-from-scratch chocolate cake already, so we just stopped by for a visit, but no dessert. It was great to see all of them, especially since it'd been a while since we'd all been together.

When we got home, Bean colored our Easter eggs. I think she did an awesome job!

It was a blessed day for us both.

He is risen, indeed!
