Ringling Brothers' Circus

What a great day! We went to the Verizon Center in DC to see the circus. We can now cross it off our list of things to do with Peter. It was enjoyable as we went with our friends Melissa and Larry and their children. We took the Metro into the city and had a really nice day. Peter was a bit tired through the second act, which of course included the tigers and the elephants. If you ask Peter his favorite act today was the motorcycles.

Capital Clubhouse

Yes there is mommy in a picture, and yes she is on ice skates. Which I may point out that I lasted longer than my husband who cried because he had blisters. What can I say Peter takes after his mother a natural athlete with brains.

What we do for fun

Peter wanted to watch his blankie get a bath.

March Weather

March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. Peter loves the rain.

Our first true accumulation of snow. Peter and I walked to our local playground with Kahlua. He was so excited as he watched every flake fall from the sky. He enjoyed a snowcone as well on our walk.

Read Across America

Our school hosted a community reading event in celebration of Read Across America, a NEA funded literacy initiative. I organized the kickoff with a coworker and performed a skit from a book called You Read to Me and I'll Read to You. We were a HUGE hit. I was Little Miss. Muffet, and my coworker was the Spider. Peter came to school to partcipate in the activites. He made Cat in the Hat cup cake, he drank pink ink, and played many Dr. Seuss computer games in the computer lab. I think Jeff and Peter are starting to enjoy coming to visit me at work.

President's Day Weekend

Sharon and her family came for a nice visit. We went in DC in our new mini van, all of us fit. We went to the Jefferson Memorial on the tidal basin. As our hunger grew we wound up at Five Guys Burger and Fries. It was a great visit and the weather cooperated. Shar and I did the typical girl things, dyed hair, ate ice cream, got our brows waxed. It made me realize how much I miss girlfriend time, and can't wait to move back to Pennslvania.
