Catching up

I haven't blogged in awhile. Here's what happened in the last week or so.

B got to carry the gifts up at mass. You can see the new look of the church. Someday we'll have real pews.

B was scientist of the week. They did a jumping pepper experiment explaining static electricity.

J had a sleepover party. We cancelled the first one over Christmas because of the flu. He was excited to have another. Nothing was planned except flashlight tag. Luckily, they found stuff to do.

You know you are in Texas when a bunch of 4th grade boys come over and play Alamo. They were all fighting over who had to be the Texans and who got to be the Mexicans. Here they are storming the Alamo.

And enthusiastically singing happy birthday.

J built a robot with his lego mindstorms set.

He's sad that a month after he got it, they came out with a new set that will interact with an ipod touch.

A has been up to her same old things, dance, school, reading, avoiding my camera.

DH & I went on a lunch date to Jimmy's Food Store. While our sandwiches were being made, I checked out all the Italian goodies.

We went down to the new Clyde Warren deck park downtown, sat in the sun to eat our lunch, strolled through the park and bought a cookie ice cream sandwich from one of the food trucks.
