March was busy with spring break and birthdays, but we also fit in time for books, cooking, and, of course, lots of school activities. Here's a peek at some of what we did in March:
Will wanted to read nonfiction so we went to Barnes and Noble. Henry found the newest Stuart Gibbs novel,
and Will picked out this giant tome about World War I from the adult section. He has been diligently reading it, loving it, and learning so much.
At school, our first and second graders were treated to an author visit by the amazing Christian Robinson. His new book, Another, came out the day he visited West U. It's an incredible wordless picture book that I bet will win at least a Caldecott Honor next year.
Name That Book wrapped up right before spring break, and we celebrated our kids' hard work with cookies and bingo. Henry won the first round of bingo and selected The Cardboard Kingdom as his prize.
Will and I worked on decorating birthday signs for the Kinkaid 7th grade fundraiser.
Henry and I bought packages of new underwear for West U's last service project, which benefited Undies for Everyone.
And Will participated in the Ethics Bowl competition at Kinkaid. Ethics Bowl is a little like debate, and the Kinkaid team did really well, bringing home the civility award.
Henry is my weekly buddy at the farmers market and we love our new rolling cart. It holds so much and makes it easy to transport our fresh food back to the car.
Dinner prep with Dad -- wine roast was on the menu.
I promised Henry ice cream after his 11-year-old shots.
We also made it to the science museum for a members' night and got to see the new exhibit, "The Art of the Hunt."
March, as always, was a fun, full month!
