Our first days back have gone fairly well. Gary and I have been able to contain our working hours so far (ha! 3 days in ...). Alek has had wonderful reports from school. Ben had trouble the first day, didn't want to do any work (me too, though), but he's done great the last two days.
Both boys have a project due next Monday. Ben's is on the kidneys, and Alek's is on the Hubble Telescope. Gary is helping Alek, and I'm helping Ben. Ben's made kidneys out of sculpty, and will be putting them on a poster and labeling all the parts, and the veins, arteries, and ureter going to the bladder. I think it will be neat.
Chloe and Chase are doing great ... just wish it would stop raining here so we could send them out to play in the back yard again. It's so muddy out there they come back dripping in mud. I'm doing 'dog towel' laundry almost every day now!
Three days in, and we're going to the gym! I went Monday to Team Fitness, and Tuesday morning to water aerobics. Gary went Tuesday night and worked out on the eliptical, and I took Ben & Alek to the rock climbing wall. Ben's got to build up his endurance again after 2 weeks off. Try-outs are this Saturday for the rock climbing club, and he really wants to do it. I think he'll make it. He's also signed up for a rock climbing competition on January 24th at the club. I'm glad he's found a sport he can be passionate about.
Alek's not doing any sport right now, but baseball signups will be coming next month, but the practices don't start until April. He loves walking the dogs and playing football with his friends in the yard though (he can play in the front yard where it's not so muddy!).
Well, I don't have any new pictures or videos to share ... maybe soon I'll have 3rd grade projects to post!

Hey Marna, sounds like the routine is going smoothly so far. The school projects sound awesome! We are getting ice here again today so we are catching up around the house. School is out due to weather. You don't have to keep up with both of my blogs. You can if you want to, but please don't feel obligated:) I wasn't sure if the woodland one would even interest you LOL;) We love the geocaching. It's a great way to get some exercise in as a family. Hope the rain stops your way! Take Care Friend
