Recent happenings

Well, March flew by, of course. In the beginning of the month, we went to one of A's bike races as a family. I'm really trying to do more small trips with the kids, in the hopes that someday, trips in general won't fill me with fear and stress. And little ones are easier to handle anyway. We went hiking as a family, and surprisingly, even the little kids did pretty well.

For Cub Scouts, H had a potato derby this year instead of a pinewood derby. I was skeptical about it at first, but it was a lot less stress on the parents and I think the boys had fun without worrying too much about how fast or cool their car looked.

S and I went to an Anne of Green Gables play at a local theater. The production was small, but the cast was great. I'm glad that I can share my love of Anne with my daughter.

And lastly, H did the 3rd grade wax museum project at school. He chose James Naismith, the inventor of basketball. (Well, he wanted to do a football player but couldn't find a chapter book on anyone noteworthy, so A's sister came to the rescue with a book about James Naismith.) He did a great job on the report and I was proud of him!
