March 17th
Today was St. Patrick's Day and the Pinewood Derby. We began the day with the breakfast of champions and concluded it with race car twinkies (oreo cookies for the wheels--thank you, Jane, for the idea). Does the Chairman patch count for wearing green?

Denver Aquarium
Flotsam (or Jetsam, I can't be sure)
The kids and I took advantage of teacher inservice day and headed to the closest thing to a beach. Molly, Melissa, Bryson, and Grandma Jane met us there (and it was a good thing, too, because with all the crowds, it would have been easy to lose one of the kids). The top three attractions: the flash flood, shark tank, and feeding the rays--courtesy of G. Jane.

Family Home Evening
A family home evening lesson on the entanglements of the Evil One.
Ben refused to be caught dead in Saran Wrap (although there were zero inhibitions about losing his pants).

Busy, and not a single picture to prove it!
1. James has been in Texas on business.
2. I am the new cub scout committee chair and last week was the blue and gold banquet. I am currently trying to figure out how to register the charter (a money-making scam if you ask me--I never knew how many hoops the church jumps through just to participate with the BSA).
3. The kids are participating in gymnastics lessons.
4. Friday was my birthday. James gave me some lovely porch furniture and he put that together yesterday.
5. On Saturday James and I did some painting for my mom.
6. Tonight for FHE we are going to talk about food storage (i.e. unpack the food storage and try to organize the basement a bit).
7. This week I start running more seriously.
8. The weather is starting to warm up, so we are also planning our yard overhaul. James wants to get the pond cleaned out and pump circulating. We need the garden area prepared, dirt delivered, grass seed planted, sprinklers figured out, bushes trimmed, trees fertilized, etc. It's going to be great!
9. Finally, the school season is simply busy. I'm sure Meri would agree. We'll be back this summer. I promise.
