Wednesday, we had yet another snow day, so Tim, Lettie & Winnie came over for a play date. There were quite a few lightsaber duels and they made several short films about tragic animals (see below).
Friday, on the walk to school, Zeeke and his friend told Steve about the Candy Girls, the Money Girls, and the Mean Boys in their kindergarten class. The Candy Girls will steal your candy. The Money Girls will steal your money. And the Mean Boys will push you down in the schoolyard. According to Zeeke's friend (who by her own admission is an ex-Money Girl), there's even one or two kids that manage to be all three and "You don't want them at your birthday party." It's clearly not as bad as it sounds though, because when they bumped into one of the kids they spoke of fearing so much, the three of them skipped off happily through the schoolyard together hand-in-hand.
Saturday, Steve & Zeeke took his pal Zoe with them to a local Egg Hunt. After a very long wait in line, it turned out that the egg hunt had been cancelled and the organizers had fled, but the kids were good sports about it. They still got a little candy, met the Easter Bunny, made a craft, and got to tell Easter jokes over the PA system (see below).
Sunday, Steve & Zeeke headed to the Wissahickon for a Family Nature Hike. Unfortunately they got there a little late and the group had relocated due to construction. So they hiked alone in the snow, smore-less, and got a little lost trying to find their way back to the car. When they got home, Karen invited Jenn & Amelie over for a play date.
