Recap of March

Okay, I can't believe it's already March..... I will just do a recap, and try to add pictures later. 

  • Well, Austin had his play.  He had 3 performances.  We did have a lot of family come to see Austin. Grandpa Rick, Grandma Gail, Dave, Em, Bilette, Paige, Maddy, Grandma Becky, Grandpa John, Jake, and Emily, and then us.  I Love, to see him doing things on stage, it's so cool.  I wonder what the play in the fall will be?  

  • Well with me working, I have had to start all of the weeks, by sending Brad a weekly itinerary.  I tell him all the things that I am doing and all the things he is responsible for.  (these have to be done on a weekly basis, as I can't plan much beyond that.)  So, I had gotten into the habit of calling Brad to remind him of things.  And one day, I didn't.  That will teach me.  Brad and Colton missed going to Uniform distribution Night for Baseball.  So, Colton's Coach picked out his uniform.  Problem with that is his uniform doesn't fit at all!!!!  And there's no way of exchanging it.  So we'll have to get Colton new pants, and his shirt will just be a dress, and I will always go to uniform night myself.

  • The kids took another trip up to Winter Park, with Brad.  Brad took the kids up on Saturday.  I got to stay home, and catch up on house work.  I am really behind on laundry, and the house in general.  Why is it that when Brad goes away on long weekends he gets to have fun.  And when I get a weekend to myself, I get to clean the house?  Is it just me or is that just not fair?

  • We did have Uncle Dave come and visit us for the week.  He taught my kids a wonderful new game.  It has to do with making a hand sign, after you "pass gas".  The last person to make the sign, "ate it".  Oh, Dave.  Thanks for that one.  You're the Best Uncle Ever. 

  • On the 17th, we had plans to go see the Music Man, at an area High School.  It is one of my kids favorite musicals.  And I really like having my kids experience the difference between movies, and plays.  Well, we misread the school signage.  The play was only at 2:00 for the students on that day.  And the rest of our week is booked.  So we missed the play.  We were really bummed.   

  • Well, Brad and I started a new class this month.  In all of our years of parenting, we haven't really taken any classes, since Lamaze.  So, when our church offered up an Parent-Teen Class, we figured, we really should take a class on this subject.  Now, as many of you who know Austin, you know, we don't feel like we have anything to worry about with him.  He's the Best Kid Ever.  But, as he is entering his teen years, we are expecting changes in him.  And we just want to be prepared for what ever comes our way.  I will say, that will a teenager in the house, I just keep thinking back to all the things I did to my parents, and will any of those things come back to haunt me???  

  • March 19th, a Spring Band Concert for Austin.  And Austin is becoming very involved in school.  He's in Drama Club, and Student Council, and some Tri M Club.  We're all really busy right now.  We are looking forward to Spring Break.

  • SPRING BREAK*  Yeah, we did have a nice little trip planned, and I will do a better post on this later, once I download my cameras.  

  • *BLIZZARD*  Oh Yeah, while we were on vacation, we missed yet another Blizzard.  We were really bummed;)
