1. So, I signed up for "Banned Book Challenge 2016." I am keeping track of my reading progress HERE. 

2. The kids made this bracelet out of string from a damaged backpack and a straw from a Dairy Queen trip. :-)



3. You can sign up for the readathon HERE. :-) This year, I am adjusting my schedule to try the full 24 hours...if my body is willing.

4.
I am working on cutting down the bottles for this. :-) Preschool Girl is excited.
When I collect up a bunch of toothbrushes and other scrap plastic bits, we are also doing this. :-)

5. -----The Marines have reportedly had to use museums for plane parts. #CouldntBudgetsBeCutElsewhere

So we would have ended up with a pet garter/garden snake if he/she hadn't peed on Husband's hand. Preschool Girl was disappointed because she was not outside to see our guest. Preschool Boy found the snake and got to touch it. #homeschoolScienceEverydayLife

One of the Churches we belong to gave us this beautiful Easter Lily plant. :-)

Preschool Boy and Preschool Girl's Easter presents (they also did a family Easter Egg Hunt with candy).
If your children are into Infinity games, check Dollar General. These were clearanced to $3 and the guy gave them to Husband for $1.50 each because we got so many. People never buy them because no one realizes Dollar General carries them.

Spotted at the local mercado. I am still trying to find things I would make with them. Apparently, some eat these as a snack food.

New. Brewed by Anheuser-Busch. Aged on vanilla beans. A bit weird at first like most flavored beers...but yummy from about the third sip on. So basically your standard root bear taste, slightly beerified and very little carbonation.
We WERE saving a couple to pair with a good burger...but it was yummy from the third sip or so on.

13.
Homemade White Corn Tortilla "Doritos" as they were going into the oven.
This recipe (with the tortilla substitution).
