On 3/28 we went to Chatsworth’s K-2 Tinkering Night.  The kids loved this pendulum painting activity, as well as a spin art table, various building activities and robots.

Here’s Blaine with Mr. Smith, who taught Blaine’s lunchtime Robotics club with the Dash and Dot robots.  Blaine loved it!

On 3/30 I made a day trip down to PA for a very sad occasion, the funeral of my Uncle Walt.  But on a happier note it was nice to see everyone at Ingeborg Road, and see all the progress on construction.

I was also able to bring down some of our idle baby gear.  It brings me great joy to know that Josie and Nate might get some use out of this high chair which we loved so much.

Mom-Mom and Aunt Molly came to visit us on the weekend of March 22.  They brought several new puzzles which we all enjoyed.

Blaine showed Mom-Mom how far he’s come with his reading since Christmas.

On Saturday we went to the American Museum of Natural History to see the new T-Rex exhibit!  It was awesome.

For comparison, here is a 4-yr-old Sarah next to a 4-yr-old T-Rex.

After learning all about T-Rex we went next door to Shake Shack for some lunch.  It was packed, so we had our burgers on a bench outside and ate very quickly due to the cold and wind.

Then we showed Mom-Mom and Aunt Molly the blue whale, always a favorite at the AMNH.

Back home, we did some more puzzles and enjoyed some halibut for dinner and some more homemade chocolate ice cream.

Close observers may note that Sarah’s superman outfit changed midway through this post.  That’s because I ordered her a new and larger version which arrived that weekend!  The cape goes almost down to the floor.  Her teachers and classmates have started calling her “Super Sarah” though as of this writing (May 5) she is no longer dressing up every day.

We finally got some good snow in early March, so we built a snowman!

It melted a bit, but then snowed again so we fixed the first one and built a second.

We had a dinner party one day and I made some chocolate sorbet (dairy-free!) which was really tasty.

Andrew took the kids to the Hall of Science in Queens.

We went to a nutrition night at Chatsworth, where Blaine made a caprese salad which he refused to try.

The kids really wanted to try ice cream from a cone, so we went to Longford’s one day and they had their first ice cream cones.

Sarah welcomed Spring!

Sarah likes Bosc pears!

Here is Sarah having her face painted at the Purim carnival at her preschool.
