We had the Alt kids sleep over early in April.  I really thought the kids wouldn’t sleep much in this arrangement but they were asleep before we knew it!

Kaitlyn took the bed while Matthew and Andrew took cots. (Ian slept alone in his own room.)

And they’re out!

March 23, 2014:  Ian’s first Pinewood Derby race

Ian really looked forward to building and decorating his car for the race.  It looked really awesome!  He placed pretty much middle of the pack after all the races.  Can’t wait to see how he does next year.  Congratulations Ian!

Posing with his creation!

1st Pinewood Derby!

Ian had one 2nd place finish, five 3rd place finishes, and two 4th place finishes. Not bad for his first time!

Matthew lost his first tooth on March 27th.  The day before was the first time he ever mentioned having a loose tooth!  I felt how loose it was and was shocked he never mentioned it.  Silly boy!  LOL

After I felt it again the next morning, I told him that I thought he’d lose it at some point during the day.  Needless to say, I wasn’t too surprised to hear he lost it during lunch time at school!

We put out his tooth fairy pillow that night and the tooth fairy left him $5 for his first tooth!
