Dirt is one of the mor
e exciting things happening right now. Reed was concerned that we ruined the back yard. We are adding more dirt to the backyard (leveling it and covering tree roots) and reseeding the grass. I tell the kids we will have grass like Grandma and Grandpa and they are very excited... or they will be until I tell them they also get to mow it! For some time now the boys have used scrap wood and other items to 
make 'forts'. They tend to get changed or moved every week or so. One day the boys thought it would be great to move it the front yard (where was their mother?)! The front yard is where the dirt pit is and they want to dig a tunnel into their fort... Logical, but not good for the curb appeal. The fort stuff unfortunately was dumped due to the above the project.

The teams read 7 different books and then competed with answering questions from those books. My favorite questions was "on page 63 of this book what paragraph decribes the cave?" And the kids knew it! The gummy bears did so well they got up to the grand challenge! There were 4 teams - 28 kids out of the 1700 that started!
Seattle Monorail - a first time for all. It is nice to say we have done it... It reminded me why I often question those tourist books!
