Some Random things from February and March

I made a strawberry pie for Pi Day and in honor of Mom (she passed away on pi day 3 years ago).

I almost died one day at work when the shelving unit that the physics teacher built and hung himself came crashing down while I was sitting under it grading papers. Fortunately, I was able to move out of the way enough to not get hurt. I just had to dig myself out of there in the 30 minutes I had before needing to leave for the day.

The boys enjoyed having grandpa come to their school for grandparents day. 

Tyler had a young men's activity at the rec center to do the rock climbing wall. He had a lot of fun since I am never willing to pay to let him do it there.

Ashley's friend invited their friend group to go to her high school prom for her birthday party. Ashley was not very excited about the dance and being around her loud friends for like 8 hours straight. She didn't even want me to get her a dress to wear. We ended up just doubling her Easter dress as a prom dress. When I saw the pictures, I felt like we should have getten her a better dress since her friends were a lot dressier than she was.

Camden finished level three for piano and started working on level 4. We are undecided on whether or not he will take lessons next year or just finish the level on our own.

We had a random snowstorm late in the season when it should have been warming up.

They hung Alyssa's plaque on the wall.

It is fun to see how many missionaries there are serving from our ward.

The physics teacher fixed the shelves and hung them up again. I was a little nervous to sit in there after that, but they held up through the end of the school year.

Camden made up his own form of solitaire. It involved like 4 decks of cards and it lasted for a week.

We attempted this solar system puzzle. But this is as far as we got before we declared it too hard and not worth our time. We will be exchanging that one in the next puzzle exchange.

I took the kids to see the dogman movie. They liked it, but I was not a fan.I guess it would have helped if I had read any of the books. The boys love those books.

Tyler told me the morning of Valentine's day that he needed to take a box in. We just recycled his box from the year before, a homemade claw machine with a working claw. He ended up winning first place in his classroom contest for best valentine's box. 

I don't know why this is upside down, but Camden ended up winning a couple of awards for his school reflections competition. His teacher challenged the class to submit as many entries as possible. He worked hard one afternoon making videos, taking pictures, drawing stuff, molding things out of clay, and writing a song. He ended up winning an honorary mention for his song...

and he advanced to the next level for his mini movie. He didn't make it past round 2, but he got this cool trophy.

Tyler buried himself in his stuffed animals one night. It was like "Where's Waldo" trying to find hime in there.
