A Trip to the Zoo

A trip to the New Orleans zoo with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Sarah

Not Quite Ready for the Tour

The boys got some golf practice in while in New Orleans. I foresee lessons in their future. 

A Walk in the Swamp

The boys and I headed down to New Orleans for spring break. We took a hike at the Woodlands Conservatory, where Grandma does the bird banding. No bird banding this time, but we saw a slug, a huge snake, lots of dragonflies and a snake skin. No alligators...

Get Your Leprechaun On!

We got semi festive for St. Patrick's Day. Ben quickly built a leprechaun trap before going to bed. Unfortunately, no leprechaun this year...maybe next year. 

I made green pancakes for breakfast (sorry teachers for starting out the day with dye!)

And of course we broke out the Mardi Gras beads to wear to school with our finest green. 

Nick's Chalk Marker Art Work

Aunt Sarah got Nick some markers for his birthday, including chalk markers. He made this masterpiece on a piece of white board. He was very proud. I was proud when I finally got the orange marker out of his white school shirt on the third try...
