More March

Well, the month is almost over and it's been another busy one! Between birthday parties, scout activities, sports practice and church commitments, the Collings' have a month of overload! This pic is of Megan and her friend, Rita selling girl scout cookies at Happy Foods on March 9. That same day, the scouts had a pizza party at Lou Malnati's - hosted by a dad of one of our scouts.

Miscellaneous school activities seem to creep into our schedule as well. This is a leprechaun trap that Jake and I put together on the 12th.



We went to the Brady's St. Paddy's day party on the 16th and the girls found make up and perfume. Yikes.



Megan has really been enjoying gymnastics at the Park District. She had her "End of Session" show on March 18. I didn't get any photos at the show because I was capturing it on video (Darin didn't make it home from Kansas City in time to catch the show), but I did snap a photo of her cartwheeling through the family room. This happens to be her current form of transportation - seriously. There is no more regular walking. If there is space available, cartwheels are the way to go.



Megan also joined track this year. Her first practice was on the 14th. They practice 3x week for an hour and a half. I'd say they're getting in some good training. I got recruited to help coach since I happen to be a runner. This photo is from one of our Indian Runs - known to the kids as "Bozos", which is probably more PC.



Since I happen to be a little heavy on the Megan updates in this post, I have to add a little something about Jake. This kid really says the funniest stuff. When he was going to bed the other night, we were talking about magic and how TV can make something look real. He said "How do dragons breathe fire?" And, before Darin or I could answer, he said, "I know......green screen". Seriously where does he get this stuff? He also doesn't refer to someone as "overweight". His term is "out of weight". As in, "Wow, that girl is really out of weight".
