The kids found a butterfly in the backyard today. It let them hold it for quite a while so they were able to study it closely and I was able to get some good pictures of it.

Fossil Hunting in Post Oak Creek
The easiest access to Post Oak Creek and the way we entered was in Sherman on Travis Street where it crosses the creek. Park on the road near Bob's Muffler Shop and Danny's Paint and Body Shop. This is a well-known spot for fossil hunting and cars park here everyday. The people in the town don't seem to mind at all. You will see a path going down to the creek. There is one steep area to get down to the creek but it wasn't too difficult. I would love to see pictures of your fossil finds if you go!
Easter Bunny Cupcakes
Look at these cute Easter Bunny Cupcakes that Rachel made!
She made each pair of bunny ears by cutting a large marshmallow in half diagonally and then sprinkling pink sugar crystals on the cut sides which were just moist enough to hold the sugar in place.
So easy but so adorable!
Online Baking Classes
Rachel has been enjoying taking online classes. We are all enjoying the benefits of the online baking classes because there are always yummy treats afterwards.
She has taken some through Taste Buds Kitchen and Outschool. Recently she learned how to make these simple apple cinnamon muffins.
Sometimes I know there will be a mess in the kitchen but she is always good about cleaning up when she is done. She took a class where they were making a healthy granola bar snack and it required a lot of ingredients. She gathered all of the ingredients on the island and then started measuring it all out before the class started.
Making Masks for Essential Workers
Rachel and I have made masks for our family. However, with the shortage of masks for essential workers in our community, we decided to keep making masks so we could donate them.
