We have been enjoying some amazingly beautiful days here in Kansas City - lots of warmth and sunshine and breezy evenings filled with birds singing and grass growing greener. It is blissful. Monday was such a gorgeous day in so many ways and I wanted to share a little of that goodness here.
I have been experimenting with some different oil combos in our schoolroom and I have found a trio that I simply adore. It helps to keep minds fresh and in focus when things seem a little rusty. I add 2 drops of each oil to the diffuser and we enjoy that during our day. It smells delightful and is so fresh!

We have been studying about the Wright Brothers in history the last few weeks and this week we talked about some of their first attempts at creating flying contraptions. We made box kites on Monday and had a perfectly breezy day to head outside and test them out. The boys had so much fun running with them and watching them soar.
As if the day wasn't perfect enough, my hubby met us for lunch - we had promised dates with the boys for their birthdays and this was the first chance to do it. Frank took Keith to lunch and I took Braedon. Unfortunately, finding a restaurant that has not only gluten free but also vegan fare is a challenge but I was thrilled to find a new restaurant that offered both! We tried "The Rim - Greens and Grilled". I had a beautiful plate of kale white rice, a mound of fresh, crisp tender sauteed veggies, and sweet potato fries. It was delicious! Though the veggies did have some added oil, they weren't greasy and I didn't indulge in too many of the fries as I was much more enamored with the colorful plate of veggies! Though we rarely frequent restaurants, this was a place I would be happy to go back to.
And so, this was truly a most delightful day...what a great way to start our week:-) Happy spring everyone!
