So this last weekend was pretty quiet.



We made sure that Caleb's tithe found it's destination at church.

Caleb was thrilled that two of the boys in his class were the ones from his Awana group. As always, Joshy cried at parting, but was fine 3-4 minutes once we were out of sight.



Mike tried to work on the Bronco during the day. I went to .25 Bingo night.



Monday we were once again blessed with clear and sunny weather. The boys played outside for over 5 hours in combination before and after naps. I'm so glad that the spring weather (and better yet the summer weather) is just around the corner. I look forward to the warm (turn my furnace off type of warm) weather, long days full of play. Berry picking in our own backyard. Maybe an campout outside. And of course, camping trips. We have several trips already planned...

This weekend we are going to Anacortes. A favorite of ours; a nice town, terrific distance away (Close so we can get their fast and start the vacation fast, close enough that if the weather turns or some snag happens we can get home), looks like the forest in the little Washington park oasis where we typically see deer daily, playgrounds both at the campground and in town, Farmer's Markets in the summer, carnival, art walk weekends, etc. Great.



At the end of March, the boys and I fly to see Grandma and Papa Bishop in California.



In mid-June, right after school lets out, we head to Yellowstone. Hopefully we will avoid the super large crowds, although the trade off is that it is still be very cold, maybe even see residual snow.



I'm already looking forward and see so much going on. All the fun is interspersed with daddy working, my odd jobs, the presumed summer camp coming, Easter, fishing day at Tye Lake.



In the new of the boys:



They are now accepting registration for Preschool for this next fall. I have to look into whether Joshy will be accepted, he might be just a hair too young.... I'm praying he will be old enough.

Caleb's kindergarten registration night is Tuesday March 4th. I have to try to get him into the Fryelands Elementary since their WASL scores are double those of the school we are districted for, Frank Wagner... and Fryelands is closer, newer, he has friends there, and we live, hello, in the Fryelands, and smaller class size, which Caleb NEEDS. And of course, I'm hoping for MORNING classes so that twice a week the boys will be in school at the SAME TIME. (Imagine the possibilities.) So have a few things I have to gather together to get prepared for registration.

Tomorrow, is Caleb's field trip to dig fossils as they have been studying about dinosaurs. And then in the evening it is Awana again. Caleb's asked me no less than 5 times a day when it is Awana, field trip or camping time. I think he is excited, but it is quickly becoming frustrating to explain it so many times a day.

March 15th at 3pm is the Easter event/fundraiser at Caleb's preschool. Bouncy house, carnival games, chili cook off, bake sale, silent auction, egg hunt etc. All Grandparents, Cousin Tessa, Cousin Gavin, think about coming.

Well, that's all I have to say for now. More probably on Thursday.

Krystal, I think we can arrange to come! Ryan and I have dinner plans with friends, but Tessa might spend the night with Grammy and Grandpa, so that we could all attend the event and then Ryan and i would leave early. Send us more info (cost?) when you have it, and we'll look forward to it.
