Making it Through March

 Claire

This girl loves all things creative and artsy and used her awesome imagination to create a Princess Repunzle with the magnets we have. She made a few other things like shapes and a mermaid in 2D and needs help with a house and dragon in 3D. Every morning for the past three or four days she has slept longer than Shay who closes their door and comes out to play or talk with me. She started sneaking out of her room and quietly running behind the counter or couch or into the bathroom so she can surprise me. One day Shay caught her and she got pretty upset and said "No you're not supposed to see me!" then ran back into the room to try again. It was pretty cute and Shay is now sneaking too, but she likes to get caught by me saying "what was that" when she gets to her hiding place.

Shay

There were some really fun times playing with Shay's slip n' slide birthday present this week because we were hitting 70 degrees for most of the days. They didn't understand the slide part because it was too scary for them but they loved using the blow-up sliders and sprinkler. I think it would work better if we had a small hill for them to slide down but they like it non the less and spend a lot of time outside now. It makes my floors get dirtier because they come in and go out constantly. The great thing about it is that it wears them down and makes them sleep extra long at night, as long as they don't fall asleep on the couch during the day. I do enjoy cuddling with Shay when she does fall asleep though.

Chris

Last week was in-class time for Chris, and he took a long rotation test on Monday which he passed with a 86%. He got up earlier than me when he was going for his test and left me a note on our calendar like the big sweetheart he is. He had some group presentations on Tuesday and Wednesday about things they learned through this past quarter. Then a special speaker came to give them tips on how to prepare for their licensing test after school is over on Thursday and Friday. Since they scheduled his finals for this week we get an extra week off and plan to head to see family in Idaho for the next two weeks. We finished packing and will be on the road tomorrow and I just hope we will be ready for cold after enjoying what feels like spring here.
