{March 24}

This week felt more "normal"...which really means slower, not as busy, but still we were getting things done. We officially nay have 9 weeks left of the school year and only a week until Spring Break.

All four of us are ready for the break and can't wait to just have some down time.

Friday night C and the boys went to the Wranglers Hockey game. At Christmas the boys gave C tickets to one game and they realized that they really love going. So this was their 3rd game and they had a great time. I got to stay at school get some work done & participate in an event at school.

The greatest part of the week for me though was getting my computer back. C got me a new computer for Christmas and somehow the hard drive crashed on Wednesday....luckily those Apple people know what they are doing and put it back together for me.

{E's past 8 weeks}

E has had a record 8 weeks.

Week 1: All school winner of the Geography bee (he beat the upper grammar and high schoolers!)

Week 6: 3rd Place winner in 3rd grade in the Science Fair

Week 8: 2nd Place Winner in the Pinewood Derby!

Way to go E! We sure are proud of you!

{In like a lion....}

Ir's march and the vegas wind has been blowing in the cold air.....it happens every year on the day we have to turn in science projects. Last year the boys ha to chase parts of their boards through the parking lot so this year we used different glue and really glued it on. Luckily no parts were lost this year.

We had a fun week at school and were surprised to find out that Grandma Walker and Grandpa Will were coming to stay with us for a few days. We have had a great visit with them and the boys have enjoyed every minute with them. Late night games and lots of conversation.

We also went bowling with our cousins on Saturday and since K bowled over 150 we got ice cream afterwards. We always love spending time with the girls!!

{3rd Place}

This must be E's year at school.

On Friday we found out he won 3rd place in the Science Fair for his grade level!!! He was so excited and happy. He was surprised again with the win, and so proud of himself. He worked really hard on this project and it was his FIRST big paper to write. He did all the research himself and I helped him do the outline and he wrote the rough draft all alone. It was wonderful. He did a great job on this project!

Way to go E!!

{Last few days of February}

Well we have spent a good amount of time on Science Projects this week....the joy of February and March (note sarcasm here.).

But we were all finished up by the time Friday night rolled around so at least I feel like our weekend should be a bit more relaxed.

It was also LEAP DAY! and the joy of teaching school is that I get to know all about leap day to share with my scholars.....but my class decided leap day isn't too much fun since there are no presents and no parties....so "booooo to leap day" as one of my scholars put it.

But we finished off the week with "Apo Family Dinner" with B & V and girls to celebrate A's birthday. It's always great to have family close by!

Now onto Science Week...and praying that we can get all the science stuff to school in one piece. (it is tradition here that each time we are to turn in science projects it gets super windy...last year we chased E's title letters through the parking lot and had to redo his board in my classroom...so this year we went rubber cement to hopefully not have that problem....we'll know on Tuesday morning!)
