March

In March Johnny had his first international trip of the year and was gone for a week.  During that week, The Captain had a parents' night at his school.  We got to go explore the classrooms and see what the teachers are doing.  The kids' favorite room was The Captain's home room where they study science and math.  We played some great math games, and built stuff.

Spring break we had some nice weather, but multiple people were sick so we didn't get to do anything.  So on Saturday, we took Johnny and the kids to the madhouse that was the science museum on Spring Break weekend.  

I had to keep reminding the children that we have memberships so we'll come back when no one is there and they can play all the games they want.  They did not find it immediately comforting.

As I recall, the weather in March was not always the great.  So on the nice days, we tried to get out and do something fun, like feed the ducks at the library.

March started what has become the monsoon season in Texas.  We've had rain steadily for two months now.  It turned our grass into a jungle.
