April Miscellany

This month is flying by and we are getting ready to take a big trip out west, but wanted to make sure we didn't forget what happened before then:)  The kids got some Lego tape for Easter and have placed it in some interesting places making some wild creations.  Noah was chosen to be one of 4 representatives from his school for District 4 chorus.  This month Noah also decided that it was time to be done with long hair.  Once he made the decision he was in a hurry to be rid of it.  The whole experience of preparing to get it cut for wig donation through Wigs for Kids was good for him.  He got online and did his own research into companies to donate his hair to and what he needed to do to send it safely.  We knew his hair was thick, but we didn't realize how long it was! When all was said and done it made a huge pony tail to send and he was pretty proud of himself... and also glad to not have to comb his hair anymore... and his showers are WAY faster now.  We are really proud of him for almost 3 years of hard work!

Once he saw Noah's haircut, James decided he was done with long hair too. So, now we are back to 4 haircuts every 6 weeks or so... it was a nice break while it lasted;)  We have been learning about acids and bases in school and the kids are enjoying it much more than I thought, so we are just going to keep going with it.

Last weekend Gabe had a conference in Freeport so the kids and I crashed his night away.  While he was sitting in a conference room the kids and I "hiked" up Bradbury Mountain, swam in the pool, shopped around downtown Freeport, AND found a really good decorate your own donut shop... Sorry Gabe;)
