The monkey bar routines


It's the first day of spring! It also happened to finally warm enough for me to be outside. Elizabeth was dying to show me all her new monkey bar tricks so we headed over to her school and I was treated to the whole show.

A little running


Jeremy was trying to get back into running after his really bad cold. He was running slow around the track so Elizabeth joined him for a few laps.

A late birthday with Grandma Pam

Nathan's last Skate Night!

We had our last school skate night of the year. It was also Nathan's last skate night ever! You can't come to skate nights in middle school. 

Nathan skating around in his JJ shirt. 


See Elizabeth doing the splits? She was most proud. 


He wanted to be the last 5th grader out there. I think he did it!

March 12- 3 Hour Snow Delay


We got more snow last night! The school district used one of their new "3 hour delays" for the first time. You don't have to make up a 3 hour delay. Here are the kids in the snow before I drove them to school. They still can't walk because the sidewalks are covered in super deep snow and walking in the road is dangerous and super icy and slick. 

However, it appears that today really should be our last snow event of the year. March 12 is just so late for big amounts of snow. It's supposed to FINALLY begin melting! 



I think our total for the year was 6 snow days (we are only making up 4 of them), 3 two hour delays, and 1 three hour delay.

March 6 Snow

We got about half an inch more snow last night but they didn't call a delay! When the kids got home, they played outside in it for a bit. Then, it started freezing rain. Winter doesn't want to end!




Pippa's Ice Cream Party

  Pippa had an ice cream party. However, the party had a sad ending. Pippa had turned 14 in June. The lifespan of a doodle her size is 12-14...
