March at the Highland Riries

March was a busy, and mostly cold and snowy month at our house - we are all ready for Spring!!

Megan is keeping busy with play practices - she is at school now every day at least until 5:30, but never complains as she loves getting ready to play a "who" at the end of April in Seussical the Musical - we can't wait to see all her hard work!

Devin kept very busy this month with extra karate practices getting ready for his SWAT team's performance at a Jazz game this month. He did a great job at the game and is now busy getting ready for his karate tournament later this month.

Seth started back at soccer and is having a great time being back on the field. Both of his games in March were freezing cold and windy, but he still manages to have a good time.

Autumn has also started back with soccer and was thrilled to find out that another girl was added to her team this spring, so she is no longer the only girl on her team. She is also having a lot of fun in dance and preschool, and hates being called "baby".

We all had a good time getting ready for and enjoying Easter. Seth was actually really sick on Easter Sunday, but had a good time decorating eggs anyway.

Devin and Seth had fun with their school's crazy hair day - I think their scalps were green for at least a week!

We have all been going to Sasha school this month so we can be trained on how to train her - it has been an adventure. She is definitely becoming more well mannered and can sit, lay and stay on command and she also knows "drop it", "leave it", and "take it", but she's not so great at come or down. She is a great running companion for Michelle and Bryce and has made it to 10 miles without being the least bit tired - we're starting to wonder what it will take to wear her out.

Michelle spent a Saturday installing an underground fence and Sasha is pretty good about staying in our yard, but she is sometimes willing to just take the shock (or "static reminder", as it says on the box of the underground fence), so we have to keep a good eye on her still.

Bryce is still keeping busy in the confines of the basement and he has finally finished all the framing, electrical, plumbing and duct work - hooray!

You'll have to tune in next month to see what happened at our pinewood derby, since both Seth and Devin get to compete - blog you then!!
