Monday was April Fools Day, and Kari got the kids pretty good. She went in sometime early in the morning, and drew on their faces! Kelsey was the only one who would let me get a picture.
That night, after school during the day, we went back out to finish fixing the zipline. We needed to brace the platform, as well as brace the playset, so we could tighten the line and get a better ride. And, of course, hubby is a smart cookie and was able to figure it out. Check out the ride now!
We had to brace the playset from the inside in order to make things work better, but, work better it did!
The kids brought some scrap wood under the platform, so they could have benches to sit on.
But, of course they were happy to be on top too. From this angle, you can see the bracing we did. And the 2x12 will also serve as a peg board in the future. And, who wouldn't need a rope to climb on?!?
Hubby had to get into the playhouse to brace it properly. And what better way to get down that to slide? I give the landing a 9.6 :)
The rest of the week was normal-ish.... Gymnastics on Tuesday. School and church on Wednesday. School on Thursday and Friday.
Kari had track practice all week for her first meet that would be on Saturday. She ran and did great! She didn't win, but, again, we were surprised when she wanted to try out at all! So we were proud that she was able to do so well!
Apparently, it was her friend Bree who convinced Kari that she would be able to do it if she worked hard at it! We are happy she has such good friends!
Again, I sat in the corner and worked on homework.
That weekend was General Conference. We weren't able to watch much on Saturday, due to all the activities going on, but we were able to have the traditional french toast breakfast, and watch the Sunday sessions.
Unfortunately, hubby had a pretty bad headache from Friday through Sunday, but he did a great job of pretending to feel alright even though he didn't :)

Saturday also happened to be Kaitlyn's math competition. It was at the same place, and similarly run as last year. And she and her team had fun and did a great job!
