March Madness

This month has seemed to be a "mad" one; it all started with the kids being out of school for a week and throwing me off schedule! Needless to say, it has taken 2 weeks to recover and get back to the blog. So this is going to be a recap of the March Madness, even though the month isn't over.

Brian Tempts Jessica

While having pizza one evening, Brian issued the challenge to the kids to eat a slice of hot pepper for 30 Kc (less than $1.50); poor Jessica fell into the snare!

Birthday Bash

Okay, so my birthday wasn't really a bash, but I can't complain when I have such cute kids and a wonderful husband to make it great; the singing alone made my day!




New Park

There is a park near the kid's school that was under construction during the fall & winter. It has opened now, so we took the opportunity to go while the kids were out of school. It is conveniently located between the school and the metro stop, so I'm sure we'll have many chances to play here in the coming months.

This tower resembles a real clock tower just across the street.

The kids enjoyed swinging on this "web" swing.

Rebecca Reading - Part 2

Rebecca has continued to improve her "reading" skills and can nearly read the entire board book "Go Dog, Go"!




Prague Botanical Garden

Rebecca & I accompanied a friend to the Prague Botanical Garden greenhouse this month while they were displaying a local artist's work and having orchid days. If you look closely at the artist's pieces of work, they are all made out of recycled plastic bottles, pretty amazing! There were so many varieties of orchids that I decided to put them in a slide show. There are lots of pictures of Becca as well, she is usually a great portrait subject and her curls were amazing with the humidity in the greenhouse.

Basketball League

Cameron played in a basketball league during February & March. There were just two teams of kids ranging in ages 5-8 years old, so each half of the time was spent developing skills and the other half scrimmaging. Cameron was one of the oldest in the group so he had the chance to be a "star", frequently getting the rebound, dribbling the ball down the court, and often being the top scorer as well! A few pictures (mostly blurry) and a video of Cam:









Snowboarding & Skiing in the Czech

Brian & I had a chance to go snowboarding, without the kids, and then take the older kids skiing on a separate occasion here in the Czech Republic (thanks to some great friends who helped watch the little people). Here's a few videos of the fun times:
