Bluebonnets

Here are some obligatory bluebonnet pictures taken at Rob Fleming Park here in The Woodlands.

Spring Break 2009

The kids and I went to Bham for Spring Break. Unfortunately Andy had to stay back in Texas to work so he could save his vacation time for this summer and Christmas vacations. We got to spend quality time with family and were able to reunite with old friends. The kids enjoyed meeting new friends. They got to play with Mitchell, the son of my old school friend, Amber and also had a playdate with Blair, Trevor, and Wyatt, the sons of college friends Bret and Kristine. I wish that I had gotten to spend time with everyone that I had wanted to see but the time went by so quickly. Hopefully we'll get to see everyone when we are there for Christmas.

TaeKwonDo

Adrian has started taking TaeKwonDo and is really enjoying it. I bid on a silent auction basket at the school carnival because Adrian wanted the TaeKwonDo robe that was in it. It also included a month of lessons and one private lesson. We won the basket and he is super excited. I asked Morgan if she wanted to take lessons too but so far she isn't interested.

Glen Loch Carnival

Last night was the Glen Loch Carnival which is the Spring fundraiser for the school. The kids had a blast playing games, eating concession food, getting their hair sprayed with color, and seeing their friends and teachers. The highlight of the evening was the P.E. performances. Each grade level learns a dance that they performance for the parents. Adrian's dance was to "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". Morgan's was to "Jungle Boogie". Morgan and her friend Emma knew the dance better than the rest of third grade so they were asked by the P.E. teacher to be front and center during the performance. What an honor!

Upward Basketball Party

This past Thursday was Adrian's last basketball game for this season. He scored another goal! He has really enjoyed playing basketball and says it is his new favorite sport.

Last Wednesday we had an end-of-the-season party rather than having the last practice. We all went to Double Dave's Pizza place. The kids had a blast and were excited to be presented with trophies.

Girl Scout Cookie Booth

Morgan participated in two cookie booths this past month. She had one two weekends ago and the other one was last Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately both times the weather was pretty foul. Also, next time I'll pick a more frequented store for her to work. She enjoyed the experience nevertheless so that is good.

Science Fair

This past Saturday morning Adrian participated in the Science Fair at the local community college. Participation was voluntary through Glen Loch. He and Andy worked very hard putting it together. They entitled it "Totally Ironic" and it involved extracting iron from Total cereal. It was a pretty cool and interesting project. Adrian was so happy that his teacher came by to support him. He was going to take the project to school today to show his classmates but he threw up this morning so he stayed home. He will be able to take it tomorrow. Participants were to receive red ribbons on the morning announcements today. Since he was sick today he will probably get his ribbon in his Tuesday folder tomorrow.
