Easter Days

Easter time up in NWA.  

We dyed eggs. Liam thought that was pretty cool.

We did Easter on Saturday because Jared only had off this day.

Liam had a hunt at Burn and then went out to lunch at Walk Ons.

We turned the eggs to deviled eggs.

Liam was not a fan of eating them.

When Canyon and I got home, we found that someone had egged the yard.  Canyon was so happy about this.  The ones responsible have not come clean yet.

Spring Break

 As per usual for my Spring Break, It's not about getting to go to places or do fun things, it's a time to get things done.

We did go to Sahara's for the 1st 3 nights.

We came home to go to Canyon's annual physical, thyroid check and this time a c spine x-ray to allow him to keep going to hippo therapy if all is well.  It was and after the appointments we had a treat at Freddy's.

We had Canyon's yearly review with his waiver service and the next day the long awaited new cpap arrived.

My car got new tires which it's been needing since last summer.  I've seen worse, but they were pretty bald.

I did the initial flower bed clean out.  The front wasn't bad but the back was nearly all weeds already.  And, I did waaaay too much online and in town shopping.  A few new summer clothes items, Easter gifts, sheets, etc.  Between the shopping and the tires, 😗, yeah, too much spending.

Woke up on Sunday morning to find on Facebook, what appeared to be someone in my driveway taking a picture of a cow in the neighbor's yard. That house is still being remodeled (it's taking them for-ev-er) so I walked over to see if it was now in the back yard or if the fence was down behind their house and the big farm behind them.. No cow and the fence, although not in very good shape, didn't appear to have any gap or space for a cow to fit though and back.  Don't know where it went.

 

That about sums up the week.

3rd Time's A Charm

Finally, some real snow!  2 1/2 inches in just over 3 hours.

It was pretty but short lived.  Nearly all of it melted the next day unlike the sleet that stuck around in shaded areas for a week of 60 and 70 degree weather 2 weeks prior.

Visitors Center

Sahara and Liam came to visit because Jared had drill. We took him to the Lake Dardanelle Visitors Center.  I think he hadn't been here before.

He really liked the fish in the big tanks but wasn't so sure about the turtle.

Canyon just went around doing his own thing.

Liam also had a photo done in the Alley at the Art Walk.

Food Fight

I've been making it public what the lunch room has been feeding the kids lately and caught the attention of one of the school board members. This just doesn't seem adequate or lawful to feed 11, 12, 13, and 14 year olds.

This was what was served on 3 separate days.  

Interesting to note that this is what they have on the school website, though not as the meal served, just an example.  

Also, parents have not been allowed in for lunch because of the pandemic so they really don't know what the trays actually look like.  That was supposed to end today, however, I did not see any parents come to eat with their students.  We had another ice storm which is what they claimed caused not getting product a couple weeks ago when the 1st pictures were taken. However, lunch never looks like the photo on the website.  Not even half the items on the menu are even made or served.  We will see how this goes as I have made it 'the hill I will die on', to quote an old friend, to make the school accountable for better meals.
