Since I am a slacker for both taking pictures of my children and posting updates to this blog I thought I'd share some of Carrie's artwork from her Fibers class. Fibers is her favorite art class and she works hard at it.In other Watkins related news; Maya scored her first soccer goal this weekend. She had been wanting to do this since the fall.
Pinewood Derby was also this past weekend. Cale had a Thor-themed car and raced other Bear scouts. Maya had a Muppet-themed car and Aden had a monkey-car. They raced other scout siblings. How did they do? Well not so great but they didn't seem to mind. I think I was more bothered by the poor performance than they were. I have a Masters of Engineering so I feel as though I should be able to help the kids build amazing cars. Of course my degree really has very little to do with actual engineering so that might explain it.
Finally, we have a brand new car. A 2013 Mazda CX5. It's awesome. Now that we have two cars I still plan to ride my bike around but reserve the right to take a car when snow, rain or wind create tough conditions.
