Erik had his biography today in his third grade class. He had to read about and research a famous person in history. His obvious choice was someone who shared his name, President William Henry Harrison. It was a cute presentation and you can't see it, but the placard in front of him is an actual reproduction of Harrison's campaign poster. Erik and I found a copy on the Internet and made the campaign poster. He has had a great time studying and preparing for this report.
We have been taking great advantage of the weather for the last month. Every night after dinner we either go for a one or two mile walk or go to the park and skate or play handball. One night when Chris and I didn't have the kids, we walked to the store, bought groceries and walked home. We felt very San Fransisco. We are going again for our weekend bike rides at the beach. I can't wait, that is my favorite! It has been very nice to leave immediately after eating and get out of the house. We have picked up some of our old hobbies and have been enjoying that as well.
We are in the middle of parent teacher conferences at school this week. So far, the kids are all doing very well. It is nice to always got to the conferences and not have issues or areas that need help. We are truly blessed and we know it. We do not take it for granted that is for sure! We work very hard as parents and we are grateful to have such wonderful kids. At least that is what we think :)
Next week is the last week before Spring Break AND Passover. In a way it is easier to have them both at the same time, and in another it is harder because we cannot plan a trip. We are thinking about going camping for a weekend before Passover but I am still working on that and cannot decide where to go and what days. Before you know it, summer will be here. But before that is the crunch time that comes with end of school. After Spring Break all the projects, reports and tests are crammed into 2 1/2 months. It is really a hard time and then when summer comes.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Relax.....................for awhile.
Well that is all for now. I have to get ready for a check up appt with my Doctor. Hopefully, I will be home before the kids get out early and Chris won't have to come home at lunch to pick them up!
Good weather blessings to you all!
Love,
April
