Geez, it's been quite busy at work and so many things has happened with us that I totally lost track of time from my last post. I am realizing that I tend to use this as an excuse more and more frequently with my last several posts.

Anyways, we've done quite a bit the last three weeks. We've gone to DC and wanting to see the Cherry Blossoms but the traffic to get into the basin was too much so we opted to watch airplanes fly out of Gravely Park which was quite enjoyable as well.

We've put up a bird feeder to see all the birds in our area only to find out that the squirrels are smarter than the birds. Even before the birds find out our stash of birds seeds, the squirrels already find a way to get into our squirrel proof feeder. Our bird feeder has a weight closure spring so that when the heavier animals get on the hinge, the door would shut out the door to the seeds, however the squirrels found a way; one would hand up-side-down to counter the counter weight so he can use his claws to dig the seeds while the others would be on the ground waiting for the loot to fall to them. We have taken the feeder back since then but will put it back out another way.

The boys are done with ice skating for this session and did well that they are ready for next class up. They loved it so much they want to continue going back for next session. Only sad thing is that I will not be able to skate with Clayton since he can do it himself now, however there's FF when she's ready.

In this large post, we've also done many other things.
