Mo' Medals

Elliott snagged two more medals recently for school stuff. One at the state Math League and another at the regional Science Olympiad. We may need to build a separate trophy case for all of his stuff!

The weather has been pretty nice lately but varying with some really windy and rainy days, some warm days, and then some chilly days. It is really messing up Ashleigh's lacrosse schedule. Her game Saturday was postponed to today but now it is canceled due to rain. The baby grass is loving it though and the plum tree in the front yard is blooming.

We had a good weekend playing games with friends, eating lunch with some friends we hadn't seen in a while on Sunday, and generally running around. The kids were going in separate directions all weekend it seemed and Lucie wasn't feeling too good. I went shopping with some friends and they got a new TV and TV stand. It is beautiful and a pretty nice upgrade from their TWENTY TWO year old one! ha ha

And back to the squirrels... I have managed to get few paintball shots off at them but the darn dogs get so excited when I pull out the gun that it scares the birds. The paintballs are egg based and non-toxic and they like to chase them and eat them! I need a better plan. I was also using some old CO2 air tanks that didn't have a lot of pressure in them. I need to get them re-charged and that should make things a bit more exciting.
