We hope that everyone had a lovely Easter! This year we took some Easter pictures at a local park with a lemon grove. n was going for the Pharrell Williams look of a dress shirt and tie with shorts. He also rocked the black knee high socks with a sports stripe up the back. I had k wear the same Easter dress she has worn since kindergarten. Hey, if it still fits, why not, right? 🙂

Pi Day + Big Hero 6
For Pi Day (March 14), we went to Blaze Pizza. All pizzas were $3.14–a really good deal! Afterwards, we went to see Big Hero 6 at the dollar theater in MainPlace mall (actually $2). The kids really liked the movie…they said it is their favorite of all time!
Big Air
A couple of weeks ago, k and n went to a birthday party at Big Air Trampoline in Laguna Hills. This was the first time that either one of them had been at such an establishment, and they both had lots of fun. Although there were a few different set ups, they both wanted to spend the entire time jumping in the main trampoline area. It definitely provided a good workout! I was nervous that one of them would get hurt, but they both managed to leave unscathed.

n’s 6th Birthday!
Going to IHOP on free pancake day has become a tradition for us. Although it has become more popular, the turnover is fast, so the wait is not too bad. We always end up surrounded by local high schoolers, which makes for interesting people-watching. The event is also a fundraiser for Children’s Miracle Network, so it is a win-win.
Handcrafted Goodness
n is currently learning about wood for his science unit in kindergarten. A dad of one of his classmates came in to talk about his wood-working hobby. He also made a mini dry erase board for each person in the class. I was seriously so impressed by its clever design! There is a hole on the top where the dry erase marker goes. The top piece of wood swivels to cover the hole so the pen does not fall out, and there is a small magnet to keep the top in place. Genius!
National Napping Day
Did you know that today is National Napping Day? I took this picture on Saturday, but I thought it was appropriate to post today. This is proof that n can still fall asleep anywhere. Keep in mind that this brief cat nap was taken before the switch to Daylight Savings Time!
Cacao Chaos
Recently, we were sent a box of chocolates from Cacao Chaos. The chocolates were beautifully crafted, and the flavors were somewhat “exotic”. Our family’s favorite was mango (no surprise), but I also especially enjoyed the chai tea flavor.
