Polar Dash

The Olbrich Gardens hosts the first "Polar Dash" for the kids. It was a race around a track pulling a polar bear on a sled. Below is Peter waiting at the starting block. and across the finish line in a record 26 seconds!Next up Jamison...uno for the money, due for the show, tres to get ready and quatro to GO!

And off he goes.... a tie - 26 seconds! Good think those polar bears were strapped in!

Pat took the boys up to Green Bay for the day to give momma some BFT (Boy Free Time). With that time I took the opportunity to paint the back porch and downstairs bathroom.
The color looks familiar...my favorite "burlap". The same color as my old living room. I had enough paint from when I had to go to Mpls to paint two walls in the house because people thought the colors were too dark, (i am not bitter).And the bathroom is "shadow" (i love paint color names), or a real deep purple. This was courtesy of MA...who had loads of paint left over from a room in her house. In the picture it looks kindof black i guess.And Jamison has started to draw pictures that are recognizable. This is a pilot whale, just for me because mom likes pilot whale.Now i just need to get them to start writing numbers and letters! Then we would be all set for kindergarten!
