2015-03-05 06:45:36 PM kathyhughes And just as an FYI...this is the MEPAP2 chat, you are welcome to join us, but they will be asking questions from their class so don't worry about that. You are welcome here anytime and this chat is a little less stressful and I bet that you will enjoy it better than the fast paced on on Tuesdays
2015-03-05 06:46:16 PM kathyhughes Well Mary......I enjoyed doing the spring activities that are very unique to us here in Syracuse NY
2015-03-05 06:46:51 PM kathyhughes We can't go outside until May so we did a lot of St Patricks celebrations and
2015-03-05 06:47:35 PM kimlin We have a party set for St. Patty's day
2015-03-05 06:47:38 PM kathyhughes Easter Egg hunts are a challenge...we don't have to paint the eggs to hide them as white eggs matched the snow
2015-03-05 06:47:50 PM kathyhughes Great what are you doing for the party
2015-03-05 06:48:20 PM marym We are having a easter egg hunt with the residents familys.

2015-03-05 06:49:42 PM kimlin the Residents are making green everything, including green cake, well a little food coloring may help, green punch and green popcorn, their whole mouths will be green lol
