Happy Easter 2015

Saturday afternoon the kids dyed Easer Eggs. Who needs the little metal dipper tool when your fingers work just as well?! :)

 At 6:15 Easter morning, the kids were up and ready to see what the Easter Bunny left

Student Council Spring Dance

As soon as the NES Student Council set a date for the spring dance, the secretary asked her dad if he would DJ the event.  :)  The Beach Party Dance was a perfect way to kick off Spring Break 2015.

Eggstravaganza 2015

Spring was in full bloom last Saturday for Eggstravaganza 2015!  Unlike last year when it POURED rain, the kids actually complained that it was too hot because some of their chocolate had melted. :)

 Then it was Emma's turn

Seuss Celebrations

Friday at Naples Elementary School was all about Dr. Seuss.  Chris & I had 9:00 reservations at the Readers' Cafe and this was our handsome host:

 We ordered Ten Apples Up On Top

Followed by a second course of Tumble Bumble

 It was also pajama day :)

 A "good job" hug from dad

 After school we celebrated with Dr. Seuss fun and games.
