Another cool b'day gift and 2 days off

2nd post of the day- A friend of Ryan's gave him this cool building set that is a paper/foamcore model of the White House.  He and I had a great time putting it together!

 After Spring Break, the kids had a couple of other days off from school and we did some fun things-had some new friends over to swim, played with marshmallows-I had them use their chopsticks to put the marshmallows into the cup and take them back out-a bunch of marshmallows were also eaten during this game-which made it more fun!

 Scott was excavating crystals from his block of plaster and Ryan was looking for 2 dinosaur teeth buried in his block!

and Greg got to be off one of the 2 days home with us so we got an extra bike ride and swimming day-LOVE when we all get to be at home together!
