Malcolm's band concert

The fourth and fifth band concert was the other night. It was great hearing how much they improved!

gleaming hair guard

Jane's group came up with a cool invention for their shark tank project at school. It's a guard that fits on a hairbrush and makes it easier to get the hairs off. The prototype works well!

aquarium

We hit a snag on the way to the aquarium over the weekend - there was a road race and all the streets where we needed to go were blocked off. After sitting through a lot of traffic we found a parking garage near Chinatown and made our way an hour later than we planned! After that everything went well. We had lunch at an English pub before we went home.

swimming lessons

The kids hate swimming lessons, but at least they'll be over before summer starts!

frogs and flowers

Malcolm and I took a nice walk at the arboretum. We were happy to finally have a dry day!

fourth grade experiments

Malcolm's class experimented with different cups and strings. The kids wanted to take them home when they were done!

mother's day

On mother's day it rained! We went to the Ecotarium and a brewery in Worcester. We loved watching the otters and mountain lion cubs, then the kids played giant chess.

garden time

Jane and I had fun picking out the plants for this year. We'll have tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs and some flowers.

triple celebration

We celebrated Grammy's birthday, mother's day and Cinco de Mayo in Maine! We enjoyed yummy Mexican food and the kids had fun breaking open the piñata in the barn.

aces 2019

One again I checked out the all-school dance at Malcolm's school. It was a lot colder this year!
