The kids had a snow giveback day on the day after Easter so we had an extra day to recover from our trip. They insisted on special breakfast so they did it all themselves!

Then we had our own small easter egg hunt at home. Jet lag + chocolate = ?

I don’t have a ton of other pictures from April, I guess we were resting a recovering? On 4/22 I somehow convinced the kids to go to an actual movie at a movie theater with me! I don’t recall how I talked them into it, they usually refuse. I’ve been dying to go to the renovated theater in Mamaroneck and it did not disappoint! We saw the Super Mario movie which was a big hit, and they had chocolate haagen daaz ice cream bars and cans of rose. Everyone was happy! Then we went to the Harbor Island playground for awhile and had dinner in Mamaroneck. I think Andrew was away for the day visiting his grandmother in Charlottesville.

In April I was able to volunteer at the kids’ school a few times, first for the Art Appreciation program, which had been on hold since the start of the pandemic! The project was to learn about stained glass art.

I also volunteered to help with Better Together, a program to raise awareness and acceptance of disabilities.

One more pic from the end of the month to document the fact that we got a little more water in our basement sadly! It had been 1.5 years since we had the drain put in with no more water, but this was a big storm and we got a small amount along the wall where we hadn’t installed a drain. So now we’re waiting to get that work done before we finally fix up the basement and make it usable again! 😛
