The end of winter session

The boys have a lot of fun activities outside (and inside) of school.  In the past week (or so) many of them finished the winter session.  It seems we have been running from one event to the next!  Here is a recap;

A different kind of St. Patrick’s Day

With the exception of the year is rained so badly there was no way we could stand outside- the boys haven’t missed a St. Patrick’s Day parade.  Until this year.

They think this year it was just too cold, and it was.  But there were other reasons.  It has changed too much and taken a turn that just doesn’t feel like the family event I grew up with.  There is the politics- who can and cannot march, who is “right” and who is “wrong.”  There is also a younger population who come- and with them lots of drinking (and not enough clothing).  It’s just not the same.  It’s just not what I want a nine and six year old to see.

The boys dressed in their sweaters for Church and then we came home and had a fun day watching movies and “chillaxin.”  It was a fun day.  We will see what we decide next year.
