<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am taking a break from blogging for now. I am yearning for a place that combines Blogger and Facebook. I am not interested in simply posting photos so Instagram is out and Twitter is not my thing. Maybe something will come along and inspire me. You can catch me on FB though if you want updates.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We toured gyms over the weekend in hopes of finding a place where I can burn off some calories. I am two days into a new diet and I am actually feeling great. I played racquetball for the first time and dig it. I am horrible at it, but I enjoy the concept. Andrew tested out the pool while Blake and I tested out their courts. Reade and Piper happily played in the pretend kitchen in the Kids Club for almost the whole hour. I think our family is mature enough to do the gym thing again without too much whining and crying.</div>

Guess who lost his first tooth last night?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not in kindergarten and almost not in first grade. I am really happy that thing fell out (er, pulled out by dad) before school was out so he can show his friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look at that cute Burton tooth. The other kids inherited Westersund sized teeth which the Tooth Fairy might find difficult to haul off with her dainty wings.</div>

I had Blake's parent/teacher conference and they are calling for more books. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was really fun picking through some classics and newly written books. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will only be a short time before he gets to pick everything he reads so I am running with it.</div>

Welcome to the first installment of Blake creating a weekly comic for his friends and family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"It was pretty fun to come up with the idea. I was thinking of monsters because I was reading a monster book I have. Why don't I make a monster comic. I started it and it came out pretty funny because I explained it to my mom in the car. And then I had another idea and I was gonna write about it, but I forgot about it. Now, I got the monster comic out."</div>

Blake's school nurtured salmon eggs into fishies and did their yearly Salmon Release in West Seattle. The fish will grow for a year and then naturally head out to the Puget Sound. The glasses Blake and Reade are wearing are polarized so they can see the fish underwater after they release them.</div>

These two weeks have been full of field trips and school events for the kids. It started with Native Americans, became art, throw in some Salmon, and finish with a May Day parade tomorrow. I might be a bit out of order, but it is time to start showing our creative side:</div>

I flew back from California only to have my husband wave goodbye as he hopped on a plane to work from California. He was gone so I reached for that before bed, naughty snack. I thought there was a box of chocolates and when I turned it over to read the label I screamed.</div>

This is cut and pasted from my Facebook page:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: left;">I just got home from a very important trip back to California. I got to show off my new tattoo to my bestest friend in the world. Nick is fighting back colon cancer and has his own cancer logo. A few of us are now branded with his image. His pink mohawk (many times other colors) is gone for now, but I am looking forward to a day when it grows back. One of his students designed the logo and I will wear it proudly forever on. My dream is to be in a nursing home someday where I can roll up next to Nick in my wheelchair and yell at him for how stupid I look at 89 with a tattoo of him on my neck.</span></div>

We had a great Easter with a bunch of family and friends. We went from having no family in town to having a guest list of: grandparents, nephew, nephew's girlfriend and her family, cousins who just moved near Portland, and Piper's friend from school and her dad. I am waiting for David's set of pictures and will post them soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday was an Easter egg hunt at the local community center. We all rode bikes over and enjoyed the hunt. We saw some familiar faces and it feels so nice to finally run into people you know at functions like these.</div>

Piper used a stool and got down the hair cutting bag from our hall closet. She decided it was time for her first haircut. I didn't know this was happening. She cut bangs and "layers" on the front sides. That will teach me to think she is napping!</div>

It was 8:45am when my husband texted me, "Happy St. Patrick's Day." I had completely forgotten and dressed two of my three in plain clothes, not a hint of green in sight. Thank goodness my oldest goes to a hippy school because he came home and said, "We don't pinch at Kapka, we give hugs." So it was a surprise when the leprechaun found time to sneak attack the kids while "everyone" was out of the house for the day. Can you believe that sneaky guy? He made a horizontal green block in front of the kids' closets. Piper got vertical streamers and each kid found a bag of golden chocolates. That leprechaun is tricky and endearing.</div>

I get to lead an art project for Piper's preschool and I think I will do space stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, I will read this book:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PYIhtNU-on4/VPubQmy1K6I/AAAAAAAAVu4/aluPinskzv8/s1600/spacewalk.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PYIhtNU-on4/VPubQmy1K6I/AAAAAAAAVu4/aluPinskzv8/s1600/spacewalk.jpeg" height="296" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1402785240/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=08ACPFPSXK4RGREN343A&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=1970559082&pf_rd_i=desktop">Amazon</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
If only I sounded as cute as this:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m-STrJbu7zM?rel=0" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, we will make Galaxy Dough:</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HGKBtzVpZYE/VPualFfc8tI/AAAAAAAAVuw/TlpKXIvdHdg/s1600/galaxy%2Bdough%2B03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HGKBtzVpZYE/VPualFfc8tI/AAAAAAAAVuw/TlpKXIvdHdg/s1600/galaxy%2Bdough%2B03.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.growingajeweledrose.com/2015/01/galaxy-dough-play-recipe.html">Galaxy Dough Recipe</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And decorate it with these:</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LioP7rW7dlM/VPubyA9UXLI/AAAAAAAAVvA/z3fVL9qFD5M/s1600/moonrocks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LioP7rW7dlM/VPubyA9UXLI/AAAAAAAAVvA/z3fVL9qFD5M/s1600/moonrocks.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mondocherry.blogspot.in/2011/05/more-space-party-details.html">Blog</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For unhealthy families like my own, I will be making <a href="http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/oreo-moon/en/">moon phases out of Oreo cookies</a> over the summer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
