Ben has been playing his Wii like crazy. In place of the Easter bunny this year, he opted for a Wii sports pack. Clay is still learning his guitar. He's doing really great -- writing his own songs as well as learning the songs he loves. He bought a second guitar and an amp a few weeks ago at a pawn shop. He also won the "tomahawk throwing contest" at OA a few weekends ago which means he'll be representing his lodge at the Dixie in April. Clay did transfer to a new scout troop. This one is a little less "high adventure" and he had a good friend from school there. We've been pleased with the leadership. Clay's "bunny" gift is a camping trip with the troop in a few weeks. We also find out next week which magnet program(s) Clay got into for next year and from there we'll decide if we're staying out in this area or moving over the summer.
Not to be left out, Maggie is still being the family baby! She loves to watch the birds outside our patio door.
The boys and I are on spring break this week and taking it easy. Last night was Bunco (more to post on that later) and tomorrow night Ron and I are going to an Indian restaurant with our Jaycees friends. Then, Saturday is the BIG day -- the Carolina Cup! I haven't been to a horse race in a LONG time (Clay was a baby the last time) and I can't wait.
I can't believe that it is almost April! Wow! Time sure has flown....it seems like just yesterday that I was posting about Christmas. Hard to belive that it soon will be summer! :)
the new guitar
Ben thinks Clay is a rock star or something.....
tomahawk practice
the scoutmaster let Ben give it a try, too
Then we drove on up to Lake Bowen, where it started raining while we were walking around.
