On the Saturday before Easter we died Easter eggs. Sebastian discovered for the first time that he really likes boiled eggs. Julien, on the other hand, used to like them, but not any more. Sebastian was particularly enthusiastic about egg dying.
The flea circus was really fun. This was the first time I had ever seen a flea circus. Julien was almost convinced that there were actual fleas. The guy doing the Flea Circus, Joe Lee, designed the set design for the Alice and Wonderland production I directed many years ago.
Bloomington had a kids multi-cultural festival, Blooming Lotus, a few weeks ago. Julien was the perfect age for it and was ready to try out activities at all the booths. He even tried Buddhist monk sand painting, which was very hard to control. Sebastian had fun at first, but many of the activities were difficult for him and he got a bit worn out.
Grandmum thought it would be fun to play croquet, but we could not find a croquet set in any of the stores. We were, however, able to find a badminton/volleyball net. We all enjoyed playing backyard games.
As usual there was lots of reading and snuggling. In this photo I believe Kathy is reading National Geographic to the boys. Notice Julien with his trusty Racoony.
Sebastian eventually got tired. He was not happy to be carried, but eventually he fell asleep in the carrier.
