A March in photos

 Upwards Basketball season wrapped up, Robert got to sub-coach once. We enjoyed watching this guy play. Emily and I also worked the Coffee shop/snack counter a couple times this season. She really likes volunteering but is not old enough to do it solo. She is quite good at making the smoothies, and likes to eat a cheeseburger on her break.

 Dallas and his friend Cole have enjoyed after church playdates to play lots of basketball, 3 hours does not faze these boys.

 Robert took me to Kansas City to see the Big 12 Championship game, Iowa State won! It was my first game to see coached by Prohm in person, it was a good one! It was a very fun environment and we would love to go again. Thanks to Lynne for watching our kids for 30 hours (mostly the dog-he is the hard work)

 Emily finished her math book at the beginning of March. 

 This guy has gotten to be quite the soccer dog

 Robert's perfect parking job at the Crowne Center in KC. I don't know how he maneuvers this truck, but he is amazing at it!

We had a Spring Break Medieval feast to eat with our hands, celebrate what our 5th graders have been learning and to joust! We all dressed the part (the best we could!) We had a four course dinner (all gluten-free) and ate with our hands. We did sub ginger ale for "ale" as to not serve minors. The water was not often safe to drink, so mead (honey water or ale was drunk by all)

The dads jousting for our entertainment. We had a couple of jesters to acrobatics, poem reading, historical facts read, Dallas was a page or a knight in training so he helped serve us.

Late season snowman, made with possibly our biggest snowfall.

Two quiche Lorraine's  for Pi day plus a pumpkin pie for dessert. 

Noelle finished a phonics book

We tried Hurt's donuts in West Des Moines.  Verdict- to sweet, fun to see being made and look at all the flavors, but no one finished their choice.

Noelle and her straw bridge she made for science. It held 200 pennies!

I am going to remove this lovely carpet from our basement stairs. I am guessing we won't miss it. The carpet comes off easily, but the glue underneath is going to need some muscle to remove.

Checkers at the library. The kids would like this set. I am guessing this is the Cracker Barrel version.
