Spring Marathon

 I know. I know. I haven't made a blog post since Milo's birthday, and that one was months late. We have been running a life marathon, and going to bed at 8:45 pm was way more important than this blog. Having written that, I am glad that I am making this post because we have had a lot of fun since Milo's birthday. Above is a picture of Milo and the parachute he constructed at the Discovery Cube museum.

 These are some highlights of our last visit to Universal before our pass expired. We're taking a break on our pass until Happy Potter opens. In the meantime, we're reading Harry Potter. Right now, we're on book 3. We like to listen on audio book in the car. Isabella and Matthew are super friends to share our days at Universal.

 This spring, Milo did a major report on Benjamin Franklin for his second grade class. The report was pages long. In second grade. We even had a bibliography works cited page, and his teacher still made corrections for commas. In second grade. The costume was all Milo's ideas from things he already had: a Halloween vampire costume, a hat Auntie got him, all weather boots from our trip to London and a vest he made from a black t shirt. The only thing I had to buy were some Harry Potter costume glasses.

 Then there was Lyman's 39th birthday. We went to Gaucho's in Glendale for their Brazilian meats and Carnival dancers. FUN! Yum. Who wants to come when they visit? Let's go again.

 Milo's Open House showed off all their work for the year. They made these carrots from egg shells that we saved over spring break. Looks like there are a lot of families that eat as many eggs as we do.

 This is Milo's teacher. She was WONDERFUL. I hope every year he has a teacher who is as inspiring and excited about learning as she is.

 On top of everything, we moved. The timing was right, even though it was crazy, it was right, so we packed it up and moved. Want to see where? Keep on reading.
