Sweet Treats, School Fun and Some Bike Riding

The groundhog saw its shadow yesterday so apparently we have six more weeks of winter. However, since we've barely had winter in Houston this year, I guess we can look forward to more of the same mild weather!

Henry's class decorated snow globes for their bulletin board last month. I'm pretty sure it's their only chance of seeing snow anytime soon.

Henry's description of his snow globe sounds just like him. He says "guess what?" and "Did you know that?" a lot!

And since the weather has been so spring-like lately, the boys and I have indulged in some sweet treats. They had to have rainbow sherbet after Will read a book about rainbow ice cream.

Henry requested rocket popsicles on Monday. Yum-o!

He also requested homemade trail mix.

We added dried cranberries, goldfish, honey sesame sticks, raisins, peanuts, pumpkin seeds and coconut to a jar and shook like crazy.

With this mild weather we've been outside a lot, riding bikes.

Henry even tried out Will's bike. He's ready for his own!

Daddy clearly needs his own bike too.

Last night, Will's school held Math Night. The theme was Harry Potter and Will had a blast! When we got there, the Sorting Hat sorted all the kids into their houses. Will was put into Ravenclaw, which I think fits him pretty well. ("Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind, where those of wit and learning, will always find their kind." -- the Sorting Hat)

Then it was off to complete a list of math activities. Half of the activities were designed for K-2nd grade and the other half were for 3rd-5th grade, but that didn't stop Will from trying almost every activity!

One of Will's favorite activities was this toad maze. He did it at least four times.

Harry Potter Math Night was a blast. Now if a wizard could just cast a spell to make sure this mild winter doesn't mean we're in for a brutally hot summer, I'd be happy!
