Brittany's BOB competition has been canceled due to the current public health scare. I hope they can reschedule. I want her to be able to see the results of her hard work.
The road continues to be a mess, but they put lime down last week, so it's not quite as bad. I have had more experiences of fish-tailing, spinning out, and not necessarily going where I am steering than ever before.
Erica likes to climb up on chairs and stools to get what she wants. One of her favorite activities while I am fixing dinner is standing on a chair so she can push the buttons on the answering machine. If you have called and gotten random sounds or child-like voices on the answering machine, it is Erica's doing. I am sorry.
Paul likes to play with Erica, but it can quickly change to hitting her, pushing her down, taking her special blanket, or sitting on her. He freely acknowledges that he has done these things, but I can't seem to convince him that they are wrong to do. He also likes to lock doors. I also have not had success convincing him that this is a problem.
Joshua likes to read Encyclopedia Brown books. He has grown tall, and he thinks he may be the tallest in Kindergarten. He is playing T-ball again. He surprised us by how well he can field the ball. Josh and Paul really enjoy playing together.
I have been very busy lately. I have had several weeks where lots of things have popped up, but it has been good to have meaningful things to do. I am trying to catch back up on the housecleaning. (Megan helped me a few nights ago. When she couldn't sleep, she cleaned the family room and vacuumed it. Kyle stopped her and sent her to bed before she dusted.)
I have been enjoying gardening this spring. Their are onions, 3 carrots, peas, green beans, bell peppers, tomatoes, watermelon, cucumber, and zucchini growing right now. I planted cantaloupe seeds yesterday. So far I have only harvested some onion tops (my version of green onions), but the peas, tomatoes, and peppers are all blooming. I hope these plants fulfill the promise of a bountiful harvest. It feels so good to eat the food you have grown yourself.

It's so fun to hear how your kids are doing. I can relate to the big brother to the baby sister and the climbing and calling randomly. It sounds like they are at the same stages. I love hearing about you and your family!
