This is the "Wide Right" project in the class Ben TAs for this semester. The kids and I went to watch tennis balls get catapulted through goal post uprights. There were about 30 teams and all kinds of interesting designs. The guy in camouflage got down on his knees and hugged his machine when his tennis ball went through the goal posts.
Spencer's car "The Golden Man" was a solid contender at the Pinewood Derby two weeks ago.
I'm starting a new chapter in my life: T-ball coach. Ben and Eva went on a date yesterday to practice catching and hitting.
The picture below deserves a story. We have a housebound elderly neighbor across the street, and this morning the kids took her some Easter treats. She didn't realize that today was Easter. A little while later, Spencer heard Ginny calling to him from across the street. Spencer went to see what she needed and came running back home, saying, "Girls, come on, Ginny has something she wants to give us." The kids all went running across the street and came home with a very unique Easter gift. It was a Kleenex box with carefully arranged paper towels inside. The paper towels said, "Happy Easter!" in shaky writing. Nestled in the paper towels were three bananas. I think I will always think of Ginny and bananas on Easter from now on.
Here's our little Glam girl who has recently discovered sponge curlers. The older ladies at church tell her that they used to curl their hair just like that when they were kids.
Work is really coming along on the Cub Scout go-cart. The boys were able to take it for a test drive yesterday evening. It needs some modifications, but they're very pleased with the results so far.
School in the springtime is a beautiful thing. 
Marouf, Walter, Spencer, Eva, and Rebecca celebrate the end of PhD preliminary exams.

And this is today. I take back everything I said about you, March. You're still queen of snow in Colorado! I got up at about 5:45 this morning and it was snowing but not sticking to the street. When Spencer woke up he went outside and played around with the shovel before breakfast. He left it on the ground somewhere. About 4 hours and 12 inches later, the shovel was buried somewhere in the yard. It took a lot of tromping around in the snow before someone stepped on something flat, hard, and slippery. The big excitement for the day came when a big yellow tractor plowed the street and dumped about 4 feet of snow right in front of the house.
So much for March's reputation as the snowiest month in Colorado. The old gal's getting soft. No complaints here.
