March 2017

Busy is my by-word.

In March Grapes and I traveled to Flagstaff for her Odyssey of the Mind regional competitions.




 They got 1st place!

Socks earned a reward ski trip at school. He had a good time, but also got very sunburned.
Good job, Mom, forgetting the sunscreen.

We attended Grapes' school concert
(cello and choir!)

Our princess found different ways to express her royalty. 
With help from the siblings...


Grapes got contacts!

 Spring break came, and we enjoyed the warmer weather.





One of my favorite things was dinner out at the fire pit.



Aunt Kelsey Came and spent some time with us too!


Kelsey watched the kids so the Doctor and I could take a trip to Flagstaff to celebrate our anniversary.
We went to Flagstaff Extreme (Obstacle course and ziplines) and didn't take a single picture!

Kelsey also came with us to Grace's state honor's choir performance.


Unfortunately, we had a sick kid with us at that concert.
Miss Feta did a taco bell puke in the car on the way home from the concert.
It was traumatic, and may have cured me from ever wanting to eat Taco Bell ever again.
(It also didn't help that in the confusion of getting puke cleaned up and kids into bed after a long night, a single taco got left in the car... not to be found for another 3 weeks.)

Picture Perfect... or something like unto it


Grapes has been on an Oddysey Of The Mind team again this year. 
She and I got to travel to Flagstaff for the Regional competitons.

They got first place and we got to eat at Cafe Rio. It was pretty much the best trip.


My kids have been so good at being wonderful lately. (not 100% of the time, let's be real-- but so much more than I feel like I can expect... you know?)

Helping each other:

An odyssey

My Grapes has been on an Odyssey Of The Mind team. They work together to solve a long-term problem (and then present their 'solution' to the judges) as well as preparing for a spontaneous/unpracticed problem in front of judges.


Grape's team worked on scripting, rehearsing, designing and presenting (making props and costumes as well as sets) for MONTHS.
