Welcome Spring Break!

The kids only had a 3 hours school day today. Mommy is working on getting report cards done. But we are officially on spring break!

Few notes from the week...

Little Grandma sent William and email asking Wil the following math question; I have 190 nickels, 300 dimes, and 480 quarters. How much money do I have? Here is how Wil figured out the answer with NO help from anyone.

"190 nickles, that's easy, just add 190 five times. Answer $9.50. 300 dimes, Well that's easy add 300 ten times. $30.00. Ok, now 480 quarters, 25 times. Mom, this would be easier if I was better at big multiplication, but don't help me now, I want to do it myself. Ok, so if I add 480 ten times it is $48.00, I need to add that twice to give me 20times, and that is $96.00 and then half of 48 because I only need five more is 24.00. So $24.oo plus $96.00 equals $120.00. Then add $9.50, plus $30.00, plus $120.00 and it equals $159.5o. Answer $159.00. Give me your phone mom so I can call Grandma."

Also Wil and a friend of his in class are working on constructing a building. Here is the picture he sent me yesterday.

Kate had WC practices and is teaching her team a new cheer.

Wil had his first batting practice for baseball. Somehow he managed to get a busted lip!

Kristen had her first full day of school on Thursday and she is still exhausted!
