Spring break, sort of . . .

This week was our spring break from school, but the boys actually started the spring session of theatre class this week on Monday, then went to Swim & Gym on Wednesday, then to a class about boats and how they float (I believe in honor of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic) at the library on Thursday.  We read a book about the Titanic before the class, and have done some of read-alouds and audiobooks, as well.  So, it's been a fairly busy spring break week for them.  But, they did get screen time this week, so they consider it to be a successful spring break!

They also spent the night at Grandma's and colored Easter eggs with her and played Boggle, and did about 2 dozen other things that Ed had on his list for them to do!

The only thing I have pictures of though, is Swim and Gym.  This month was all about volleyball.  They mostly played with a beach ball, which was a good thing!
