And there goes March!!

Wow.  March is gone.  I cannot believe how fast this is all going!!
March went by especially fast because we crammed so much into it!!  Because we lost December (because of Wyatt's concussion) we decided to double up every week this month with Sonlight and take the last week off as a Spring Break.  We did ok the first 2 weeks but by the 3rd week we were all shot.  After the boys went to bed Monday I sat on the couch and just bawled.  I was exhausted, the boys were being mouthy and were not listening at all.  I cried uncle.  We finished one week that week and started our break on Friday.  This meant when we started back up on April 1st we'd have 9 weeks of school left, which puts us at the 1st week of June...
Soccer also started this month, which meant busyness for all 3 of us!!  Brian has enjoyed coaching Austin's team so far, and Austin has really enjoyed getting to know some of his new teammates.  Wyatt feels much more 'at home' with his team this season and enjoys going to practices.  As secretary I had a busy month organizing spiritwear, getting uniforms printed, handing out magnets, and getting ready to plan some large events.  We love the club we play for and Brian and I love being involved!
So, what did we do this month?
- Pinewood Derby.  Wyatt got 3rd place (out of 3 Webelos) and Austin just had fun in the open class.

- Indoor games started
- I started my Daniel bible study by Beth Moore.  Wonderful!!
- We went to Bounce Kingdom in Columbus with some friends (thanks to Groupon)
- We went to our first Crew game of the season!!
- Wyatt had his first soccer tournament in Hilliard, and Austin joined his team for the weekend.

- The boys had several friends stay over during Spring Break.
- We enjoyed a homeschool day at Hilltop and painted plates.

- We went to Lazer Craze with Auntie Jill and had a blast playing laser tag!!
- Brian and I enjoyed our first Secret Church at Hilltop, which was AWESOME.  Intense bible teaching from 7pm to 2am!!
- We celebrated Easter at Hilltop Sunday morning with breakfast, an egg hunt and service, followed by lunch at Nana's and dinner at Po's.

Books we read: Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, The Wright Brothers, All-of-a-Kind Family, Hero Over Here, A Letter to Mrs. Roosevelt.
Hours for the month- 119 for both (not much more since we took a whole week off.  Austin now has 1013, and Wyatt has 1033.
