I've lost my way with the weekly themes, too. But hey, I'm still taking photos, so that has to count for something, right? Right.
Anyway, here's the first of several backlog posts!
This week's theme: Passover/Spring
Day 92: Aftermath
Day 91 was a beer-filled evening. you'd think that there'd be a fair amount of sleeping in going on, but no. The past 4 years of living with the small Human has trained us to awaken early. Getting up at 7 is luxurious these days. Here's the early morning photo from our hotel room.

Day 93: Bubbles
Too beautiful outside to stay inside. What to do after swinging on the swings and pretending the swing set's fort is a spaceship? Bubbles!
Day 94: Passover Art
The Small Human made a Seder plate in school.
Bonus round: Evil Ware Rabbit of Doom
One of our technicians has a huge rabbit. He's beautiful. But underneath that beautiful exterior lies a heart of pure evil. Behold, the Evil Ware Rabbit of Doom! He may look cute and harmless, but this beast is an attack rabbit, if there ever was one!

| Watch out for his sharp, pointy teeth! Notice how his Pet Human wisely keeps her hands out of the way. |
As the spring break nears, Passover prep has been in full swing. The Small Human's preschool had a service for the kids, and then they got to sample all the foods that are normally served on Passover.

| Holy crap, these were awesome. I'll never eat the canned ones again. |
Day 96: Spring creepers
About 5 years ago, I planted vinca vine in two vases on my porch. Little did I know that it would escape into my front yard. The vinca has been plotting world domination for some time now. In the spring time, it does its best to look all adorable, in hopes you'll forget that it's trying to choke out everything else in the garden.
Day 97: Happy Passover! Part 1
Passover is an 8 day celebration in which we don't eat leavened bread. The first two nights involve Seders, which are meals in which we retell the story of Passover. This year, we actually did both Seders. The first night was a Friday. Instead of cooking a huge feast for 2 night, I made steak and potatoes for night 1, It was just the three of us. We read from Sammy Spider's First Hagaddah. If you have small humans and are looking for a super simple, super quick version of the Hagaddah, this should be your go-to book.
The Small Human decorated Elijah's cup and Miriam's cup in school, so we put them on the Seder plate.

| I wish I took a photo of the whole table, so you could see me in full Martha Stewart mode. |
We took turns reading, of course. See that little grape juice glass that my son has? That was one of the tasting glasses from the Beer Fest.

| Learning about the 10 plagues. |
The Small Human took a turn, too, even if it was just to identify the letters on the page.
Day 98: Happy Passover! Part 2
My regret is that I didn't take more photos on this day. We had Hubby's family over, and my brother and SIL came over with Moose, too.
I made brisket, potato kugel, asparagus, and a bunch of other good stuff. Chocolate crack made its mandatory appearance, of course. There was quasi-home made gefilte fish (aka boiled the ready to make package from the store), home made hummus, and a very bad for you flourless chocolate cake. And, of course, there was lots of matzoh.
Oh, and we made eggs. Since Easter was the next day, we colored them.

Horseradish is a very manly root. FYI.

| Do men cringe when they have to peel and slice this thing? |
