    We had a 2 hour winter snow storm on Tuesday morning. The snow was flurrying everywhere and the ground was covered and then it was done. We got a little rain that afternoon and my kids were so excited to use their umbrellas. It has been a little too windy to play outside so I’m not liking that. The boys ask me to check the weather every morning so they can decide if they need their coat or sweatshirt or both. It has been unpredictable lately. I’ll be excited when the sunny days are here to stay.

    and we got the NEST – it’s the “smart” thermostat. It can sense if you walk by it or not and tries to figure out what temperature you like it and when. It is geeky and can be controlled by your phone!

    Diary of a Wimpy Kid

    No Comments

    Benji just discovered the Diary of a Wimpy kid series. He is finishing book number 5 and it’s been less than 2 weeks. I love that he is reading. He typically just does his mandatory 20 minutes a day but he has been taking his book with him wherever he goes. He was reading at a court of honor the other weekend and one of Ben’s old scouts saw him and went and got all of his wimpy kid books and another series for him to read! After seeing him enjoy these books so much I definitely want to tap into that for the summer. Hopefully we can find some more good books and keep him going.
