We had our First Lego League scrimmage today. It was just the robot game. Our team did VERY well. We ended up second by 1 point. The kids really enjoyed it.

Margaret and I went to Tahoe this weekend to get a little bit of spring skiing and boarding in. We figured this was our last chance. On Saturday, we were kind of tired, so we didn’t do much skiing, but we did take a long walk. We went to the oven in Page Meadows and then to the rest of the meadows and then we bushwhacked down to the road. It was lots of fun.
On Sunday we went back to the slopes. Margaret went to the top with me for the first time. It is now her most favorite run. We were both very sad when we had to leave.
We had 14 or so 9 year old girls at the house on Sunday. It was a dog themed party. The cake was bone shaped, all the girls got little stuff animal dogs, they made things for their dogs.
Margaret was in the Los Gatos Christmas parade with her Brownie troop again this year. The goal was to get the Triumph ready for the parade, but we didn’t quite make it. It will be ready for the family for next year.
The day after Halloween, while the kids were home from school, Margaret and Sam made Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach from duplo. Margaret took the pictures.
A sneak peek as Elizabeth and Margaret get ready for Halloween tomorrow.
Sam and Margaret went to Max and Hans’s bowling birthday party. They both LOVED bowling. They have done it before, but it has been a long time. Later, that day when I asked Sam if he liked it, he said yes. Then I asked him when he wants to go again. He said “tomorrow”.
Today was the first day of school for everyone. Sam had his first day of kindergarten, very exciting. Margaret started the third grade. Katy is in 7th grade now. Katy didn’t actually go to school until this afternoon. She didn’t even need us to go with her anymore.
Sam, Izzy, Margaret, and Sophie went to science camp and Sanborn Park.
George and Susan came down and took Katy, Margaret, and Sam to Roaring Camp Railroad. They had a good time riding the train through the redwoods.
