Science time

It's that time of year again! Science fair projects. This year both girls have one. It was fun but I'm glad the projects are finished...3 days early!

Singing the blues

We have discovered that snowball is quite the singer. She has such a nice voice and can learn songs so quickly. When she found out that she had a choir concert coming up, she practiced every day. Her class was going to sing farm yard songs and each child could choose an animal to dress up as. Of course she chose a cow! As I picked her up from school today, she was crying and said she didn't feel good. Oh no!!! Sure enough, sore throat, tummy troubles and a fever. Poor girl was so sad. No concert for snowball tonight. Good thing we have plenty of blankets and strawberry shortcake movies to make for a great night to snuggle

Batter Up

The time has finally come!

Bryson has started baseball

He had his first game this past weekend and was so excited

He played short stop, pitcher and left field

The Tornados!

He did an awesome job batting

and running the bases too!

His favorite part is fielding

He's already talking about his next game this weekend

I have to say, tball is so cute to watch! I hope he keeps his love of baseball

Paleo

Since I went gluten free about 4 months ago, the whole family has become more aware of what we are eating. One thing we noticed was all the sugar. In an attempt to get the whole family on the same eating plan, we have decided to try the paleo lifestyle of eating. I don't call it a diet because we are not dieting. We are making a lifestyle change for the better. One of the main ingredients that paleo excludes is sugar. The kids are on board with eating better and over spring break, Sophie spent the night at a friends house. The friend asked Sophie if she wanted candy to which Sophie replied no. I was so proud of her but we don't want our kids to go cold turkey on any of the foods they are used to. So our goal is to allow the kids to eat what we have already purchased and slowly transition them away from sugar. After Easter though I think the sugar will be around a little longer than expected
