- Happy official spring. Things have been getting very busy for me. My younger daughter will be participating in Odyssey of the Mind this weekend. Since the competition is on Saturday, I'll extend a hearty "Good Luck!" to all of the teams performing this weekend.
- Just in time for spring, the weather gets According to WTNH, we will have some chilly temps tonight and tomorrow and wake up, maybe, with some slight amount of white stuff (yes, the dreaded word "snow") on the ground Saturday morning. You can always visit Fun Factor, our sponsor, because they are open to the public for bouncing every day but Monday.
- Get new clothes for spring at a bargain price with the Green Turtle Planet consignment sale. I'll be there!

- We also have a spring craft to make your own robin's nest or a caterpillar that grows its own fuzz (though you may want to leave it on a tray to make moving it indoors easy until the threat of frost has passed)--a cute activity for older kids and easy enough for littler ones. Celebrate the first day of April with some pranks! If you are looking for an edible Easter craft, then help the Easter Bunny get around more quickly with a car of his own. There is also a pizza for Passover that you can make with your little ones.
