Box Sledding

This is how we sled in the South. :) 

Projects

Spence had a project at school to make a robot. He had to write 3 declarative sentences to go along with his creation. His sentences went something like this:

1. My robot's name is RIM.
2. RIM stands for robot ice cream maker.
3.RIM can make any kind of ice cream. :) :)

He saved up boxes for the last couple weeks  to build RIM. Poo guy has a good sized blister on his thumb from a burn he got from using the glue gun. I don't think Spence will be picking up a glue gun anytime soon.

Kar's in a talent show this weekend and she needed a tie-dye shirt for the program. She and I decided to be daring and tie-dye our own shirts. The boys wanted in on the fun.  They picked their own designs. They didn't want their shirts to look too girly, thus the solid colors. :) :)

Noah had a class assignment to make either a lion or a sheep for the month of March. It was a pretty easy choice for him. :)

Family Fun

Lost Teeth

Spence has been waiting for over a year now to loose a tooth. Poor guy didn't get his first tooth until he was almost one, so our kids tend to loose teeth a little late.  His friends have been loosing teeth for a good year now. He was pretty thrilled to loose not just one but two teeth in just 48 hours. In fact he already has a replacement for one of them. I guess waiting paid off. :)

Spence's medal

Spence LOVES his medal he received running the 1 mile last weekend. Can you tell?

5K

                              (The crew. The kids and I had some fun with the special effects)

The kids and I did another run this weekend.  Kar ran the 5K with a girlfriend, while the boys and I ran the 1 mile. We were able to recruit a couple of the boy's friends to run with us. I didn't realize when I took on the race all the boys would run different speeds. It was a little nerve racking  trying to keep my eye on all four boys. Poor Noah got lost in the shuffle and I found him crying walking alone.  It was pretty pitiful. It was even raining at the time. Who lets their four year old run by himself in the rain?! It was a mother of the year moment. Once I found him we ran the rest of the way.  Spence did great though. They were thrilled to all get medals for their efforts. Spence even brought his to church today.

Kar rocked it. She got first place in her age bracket.
