Pinewood Derby!

The Boy had his first Pinewood Derby this year and it was a blast! He and The Man put together a pretty nice looking car.  Unfortunately, it came it last almost every single race.  



I think this will motivate him to work a little more on it next year.

We Are Smart People

In the last two weeks there have been two home invasions in our neighborhood. One of the women actually came home while people were in the process of stealing her things.  At both homes, the theives got in through an unlocked door.  While we are usually pretty good about locking our doors, we made a note to be even more diligent.

Fast forward one week to today.  I came home from the Girl's dance class. The door leading from the garage to the backyard was wide open. I cautiously entered the house. Once I discovered no one was there and nothing had been taken, I saw that the sliding glass door was also unlocked. And just to put the icing on the cake, I had a note on my front door leftover from a party I hosted last night that said, "Roll On In".

We almost deserved to be robbed.

Science Fair

Since we didn't have any plans for spring break this year, the kids and I stuck around the house. We did extra Easter egg hunts inside the house and we worked on the Boy's science fair project. He decided to fill up balloons with gas made using baking soda and vinegar and see if they would float or drop.

It wasn't until days before the Science Fair that we found out we could not use balloons in our display or demonstration (since someone had a major latex allergy). We quickly rearranged the board and it turned out pretty well! By the way..........they drop.

Easter

It was a very simple Easter.  We made our traditional "eggs and bacon" candy and handed them out to neighbors. We didn't have church because it was conference weekend, so we lounged around the house. We had a lovely dinner and of course, the egg hunt! These are the only pictures we have because I accidentally deleted every picture I had on my phone and couldn't retrieve them. Ugh.

A Different Reason for Sitting at the Desk


This time to write an apology letter. I don't want to remember what he did, so I'm not going to write it here.
