What's Up

Ok Melody, here's a new post just for you. It was spring break last week. We took a one day vacation. On Tuesday, we went to the zoo and to CiCi's Pizza (the boys' choice) for dinner. Then we stayed at a new Holiday Inn here in town. We wanted to stay there because it has a 2-story water slide into the pool. Well, when we checked in, there was a sign on the desk that said "Water Slide Open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Only". The boys were disappointed to say the least. We went swimming anyway and had fun. It was a nice hotel. We went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast the next morning. Then we went to the mall to find Easter clothes for the boys. That's when it stopped being fun. Shopping is not at the top of their fun list! So we found shirts and ties and went home! But the boys will look great for Easter!

Homeschooling Zachary is going well. We are starting to finish a lot of his curriculm so I am going to have to get creative and find something to keep him busy for the next 2 months. I am going get a typing program and have him work on that. He goes to band twice a week and really likes that (hates practicing at home though!) We found a PE group here in Ventana Ranch that meets on Friday mornings. They've actually been playing chess for the past few weeks because of the weather we've been having. But we are getting outside again this week. There are a couple of boys Zachary's age and they all get along really well. I found a curriculm for next year and am anxious to order it and see what it will be like.

I'm still knitting. I've been working on a baby blanket for Jonathan's teacher who is expecting a baby next fall. I am almost done with it. I'll post a picture when it's finished. It has taken longer than I anticipated. I'm ready to move on to something else. I'm thinking about trying a short sleeved sweater for summer.

So that's some of what's up!
