We have been busy...

Zachary had another project to do this past month. It was a Book-in-a-Can. His book was Fudge-a-Mania. He had to "make" 3 objects that describe a character in the book and create a poster to "sell" the book to others.

Here is the poster. He thought of what to say and I wrote it out for him.

Here are the objects that went inside. Peter loves baseball and takes a vacation in a rented home with the family of a girl he hates.

Of course the outside of the can had to be decorated from top to bottom.

Aside from that, Baseball season has started. Zachary is on the Yankees. He is very excited to play. We will see how it goes. This is the first year that the boys will actually pitch. We figure after getting hit several times he will come out of this season either hating it or loving it.

The Pinewood Derby is also coming up next week and we still haven't built a car. We may be using the one from last year.

Poor Savannah has been sick all week with a cold that has pretty much wiped her out. No school, which is great, but the make up work is to be dreaded.

Hannah is ready to graduate. She has filled out the forms for Seminary graduation. Counting down the days. She had the frustration of waiting online to apply for housing and get a date to select her room. That was a mess! Their server could handle the volume and mess they created and shut down. She now at least has a date to get housing. April 23 is the day she can select a room with no guarantees that a room will be available. She is a little stressed sometimes about this, but I am sure all will work out for her.

Kyle has been traveling. He was gone all last week. He isn't working from home this week but at least he is home at night.

We had a cold snap that came through and we got sleet and freezing temps last week. This week we are is the 70's with hope that this terrible winter is behind us and the fun that spring weather brings awaits.
