Welcome to Prarie Pi. This blog exists to journal and document the memories that our family experiences. Pi is "an amount of type that has been jumbled or thrown together at random." We hope to assemble in words and pictures the daily thoughts and activities that happen in our household. We do this to help those that are distant from us get a glimpse into our days so that the miles that separate us won't keep us apart.

The Many Faces of Nacho

After we came home from storytime on Wednesday, (where we enjoyed frog themed books).....


...we stayed outside to enjoy the beautiful spring day.
Nacho went right to his new favorite outside activity....shootin' hoops.

And I had fun...

....watching him...

....trying to make baskets....

...and all the facial expression...

...that came before, after and during the shots!!






Next, he went on to baseball.




I enjoyed watching all his moves!


Have a HOPPY Spring day!!

This post was specially designed for Sharon B.....
as promised!!!!

Green Eggs and Ham.....

....were on the menu for Easter dinner....

.....green jello eggs.....that is....a family favorite!

Before that....it was business as usual on such a glorious day....

...the finding...

...of hidden baskets...

....and basking in the beauty of all that candy!

Nacho couldn't wait to take a chomp out of his chocolate bunny's ears!!

After dinner, we colored eggs....



...and now our lunch menu will be the same all week long!  Boiled eggs everyday until they are gone!

The last event of the day was the Easter Egg Hunt....
Ready, set, go!

Coco found this egg....but she nabbed the wrong color.  Tradition has it that everyone can only find the color assigned to them.
Ky....Blue
Rocky....Orange
Moe.....Yellow
Buttercup....Pink
Nacho.....Green
Coco.....Purple
Coco had to put that one back and look for a purple one.

Can you tell which child had a slight disadvantage in the hunt.....
those dandy-lions sure look a lot like eggs.....that might have slowed Moe down a bit!

Alleluia!

Alleluia!

He is risen!
He is risen, indeed!

Holy Saturday


Holy Saturday started off with a neighborhood...

...Easter egg hunt...

.....which put us in an "egg-citing" mood for the rest of the day.

It was then Easter dress time...

....followed by supper with friends....

.....and then on to the highlight of our day.....

....Easter Vigil....where three boys altar served.

It was a beautiful night!

Happy Easter!
Alleluia!

Good Friday

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an offering far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.
