Hallelujah! What a blessing. We got 2 snow days Thursday and Friday of last week, due to the easiest blizzard I've ever been through! We really didn't get that much snow. But, I am not complaining! Last week, was Danny's Spring Break from his internship, so it worked our perfectly to give us a long four day weekend together as a family. Also, extending mine and the kids Spring Break by a couple of days. I have been enjoying my time off with the kids. We haven't done anything major. But sometimes that's the best kind of vacation. The kids have been getting reacquainted with old toys. I don't think they will need anything new for Easter. They did get to have a sleep over with Marisa's kids. Thanks Auntie!!!
Here's a few pictures from Friday after the storm.
Marina, Danny, Gandalf, and Isaac
This was the kids idea of a snowman.Well they were trying to create the "blob" from the new movie Monsters vs. Aliens
Everytime I tried to get a shot (without me going outside of course)
they would go behind the trees. Ugh!
PART II
Isaac raced in his first Pinewood Derby a couple weeks ago. He and Danny worked together with some friends to create the "car." Thanks to Evan and Kimball! I am not sure we would have made it happen without their help. And the boys (Isaac and Kimball) had each other to hang out with, when the other boys (Evan and Danny) took over! Isaac and Kimball both did very well for the first racing experience. Isaac took fifth place. Which as you will see was just his designated place for March.

PART III:
Fifth place again came for Isaac in his Science Fair. It was his first Science Fair, and I thought he did very well. He came up with the idea/experiment all on his own, and only needed Danny and I to make it all come to fruition. He really is a terrific kid. And does amazingly well academically. I am not sure he sees this as a talent yet. But hopefully some day he will. I think he would rather be the fastest, or the strongest, or the funniest kid in third grade. He knows he not even the smartest in third grade. But he is the most well rounded kid, I know. And his public speaking skills, don't matter to him yet, but they will!!!
