Thank you Uncle Greg and Aunt Jenny!!!

Thank you Greg, Jenny, and Wyn for sending the wonderful surprise box from Germany!  (Apparently it has been stuck in customs for 3 weeks!!!!)  We will certainly enjoy all of the yummy Haribo gummy bears, and I will savor the Strawberry-Mango Jam!  (Cliff it is even better than plain strawberry jam- you have to try it!!!!!) They boys loved their pirate costumes from Sea Life Munich.  much fun was had by all before an awesome dinner of hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, and broccoli. (yes- Derek is in Bartlesville this week, how could you tell???) 

Stayed up late finishing my last training module for lubricants, so hoping to have some "fun" tonight after exercising- maybe reading something FICTION! (Very tempted to start reading The Hunger Games again- but I fear that may have bad consequences...)  It is almost time to haul the kids out of the bath and do the spelling pre-test with Zach as Friday is a holiday to his test is tomorrow. 

Ah yes- lest we forget...

Presenting this week's spelling words:

backpack, bluebird, flashlight, inside, outside, remember, stood, thought, baseball, brainstorm, herself, lunchbox, picture, room, suitcase

Challenge/science: crocodile, extinction, handwriting, pollination

We are very much looking forward to the arrival of Grandpa Randy and Grandma Peggy tomorrow for a long Easter weekend!
