The Kassel Family Project Life 365

What do you do on a gorgeous, 50-degree Thursday afternoon in March after all the winter weather?  You play outside for as long as you possibly can with friends!

John had to finish his “homework” this evening.  He worked on writing the letter “K” in both uppercase and lowercase.  Right now, he is excited about homework.  I wonder how long *that* will last…

…goes something like this:

5:15  My alarm goes off.

5:30  I shower and get ready.

6:10  I wake up the kids.

6:15  The kids eat breakfast.

6:30  The kids get dressed and ready for school.

6:40  The kids make their beds.

6:45  The kids and I wake up Andy to say goodbye and then get ready to leave the house.

6:50  The kids and I walk to the bus stop.

6:55  The kids get on the bus and I leave for work.

It is a busy, busy time.  Every morning.

…always, always make me laugh no matter how old my kids get.

Columbia Public Schools has cancelled school for tomorrow.  I realize it is supposed to be freezing cold, but we hardly got any snow at all.  At this rate, the kids will be going to school until the middle of June.  Ugh.  Just Ugh.

There is a new member of our family!  Jack Lloyd Dinsmor, our nephew, was born at 9:10 pm, weighing in at 7 pounds, 12 ounces, and was 20 inches long.  We will get to meet him at the end of this month when we visit the Chicago area for Spring Break.  I cannot wait!  Andy and I are thrilled for Ian and Amanda.  Welcome to parenthood!  There is *truly* nothing better.

On a funny side note, I showed Laura and John the pictures of Jack.  Laura was so excited and said, “Wow!  Is that what Baby Jack looks like?  He’s so cute and little!  Do you think I can hold Jack when we meet him at the end of this month?”  John looked at his picture and said, “He’ll be more fun when we can play cars.  Babies are BOOORRRING.”  Aw….the differences between girls and boys.
