March Madness

March has passed by in a blur . . . with a large part of the month taken over by illness.  We've had some weird "stuff" pass through our home this month -- a weird cough and cold that hung around FOREVER(well, maybe not forever, but at least 5 weeks - really!), eye infections, ear infections, and even pneumonia (that one was BR).  But, I really can't complain because everyone was a trooper and thankfully everyone is better now!  We did manage to roll out of bed long enough to do a few things worth mentioning . . .

B joined his fellow 5th graders in a wonderful concert at the beginning of the month.  He even played the bells on several songs . . .

Our Spring Break trip to the White Mountains was canceled "due to illness", but thankfully D and E were able to get away for a few days to Flagstaff for some wonderful Daddy-Daughter Skiing.  E LOVES skiing -- she even tackled the blue hills - and this was only her second time skiing! 

(Meanwhile the rest of us "sickies" had a "stay-cation"at home -- we managed to take a 3-5 hour outing each day and then came home to collapse on the couch and order take-out dinners -- it was actually quite relaxing and enjoyable!)

Our month ended with a BANG when B earned his Bear in Cub Scouts.  He earned his badge along with 3 of his bear buddies.  In honor of this special occasion our cub master led them in a Polynesian War Dance -- B really got a kick out of it!!  (He and D are on the far left of the screen).
