March 2011

We did a few fun things in March. I had my spring break the week of the 14th. It was so great to be off for a week. The weather was beautiful and I enjoyed some time with the boys, Doug and my friends. I met Krista for lunch one day with the boys. We tried Ingredient and then Red Mango. Red Mango is delicious. I also met my friend Jen for dinner at Roja and then went to Red Mango again with her! The boys and I went to see the movie Rango one day and then tried cupcakes from Jones Brothers Cupcakes in the new Aksarben area. I had that Monday of my spring break all to myself, which was nice! I went for a run, got my nails done and made a visit to the Apple store for a class on my Mac. Oh, and how could I forget! I went to the Lady Gaga concert on March 17th with my mom, aunt and cousin! It was a great show! Also over break, Jack and I walked to school one day to get Charlie. His friend Nolan came home with us to play and eat dinner. Charlie loves hanging out with Nolan, as does Jack!

With the month of March came the highly anticipated first Pinewood Derby car race for Doug and Charlie. They made a Lego car (got the idea from my friend Jen!). It was easy and the car took second place. Charlie and Doug were thrilled. Jack and I were, too. I can say I was a little nervous about Doug helping Charlie make a car, but it turned out well. They even talked about what they would make next year. Charlie has really enjoyed Cub Scouts!

Charlie started flag football in March. This is the only sport so far that he has said he would play. He had a couple of practices in March and his first game was on April 2nd. He did a great job and was happy to play alongside his friend Grant! Charlie is the one with the yellow hoodie on.

That was about it for March. We are now on to April, and that means only 36 school days left until school is out for the summer....not that I am counting or anything!

I have two grad school classes this semester. They are much easier than last semester, but still keep me busy. They end on April 16th and I can't wait to have a three month break before I begin two summer classes!
