The Friday before Easter was SUPER BUSY, but just from about 8:30-10 am. All three older kids had something at that same time. Carter had preschool (which my dear friend and neighbor took him to for me.) Tade had RAD Kids graduation and Ashlynn had the Kindergarten Egg Drop. It was too busy for my liking, but with the help of my wonderful neighbor and Eric's somewhat relaxed schedule, we were able to get it all done and have someone present at each thing for the important parts (at least!)
Eric is the guy-in-charge when it comes to Egg Drop time. His big idea is to put the egg in jello. He did the same thing when Tade was in Kindergarten and it worked well, so why change it, right? Ashlynn was thrilled to have dad help her with her egg and it too was a success. So far, no broken eggs in this family!
I don't know how we are so lucky in our school, but in 3rd grade the kids get to participate in a program called RAD Kids. It teaches kids about safety, stranger awareness, and empowers them with some self defense moves. I love it and think every kid should get to learn to be a RAD Kid. They did a weekly lesson for at least 10 weeks and then all the parents got to come see what they had learned at a little graduation ceremony. It was great! I love to see Tade getting older and being able to make good decisions without me or Eric telling him what to do.
