Update

 Just a quick update - the sun was out and the snow melted (we foolishly thought for good!)  Charlie runs around like a maniac with his cast and is not the least bit slowed down by things like climbing trees.  Josh continues to be the fastest 2 year old scooter rider in town
 We moved the bball hoop to the back patio and have been loving it
 Someone got over their fear of the Hulk costume
 Alec competed in the all Wheaton chess tournament on Saturday.  He's been going to chess club once a week for the last 3 months and apparently he has really been paying attention b/c he took 2nd place in the first grade division!  Pretty crazy since there were probably 9 other schools there.  He played 5 matches, won 3 of them and tied 2. 
 Guess our little sports star is also a strategic thinker:))
We went to Alec's schools yearly spring fling fundraiser on Saturday night.  The theme this year was the Grammys and one of our friends works for Hilton, so he got us all a free limo.  We had the best time, danced the night away - I'll tell you these Wheaton parents really know how to party:)
 Kid Rock and Eminem were a part of our entourage
I bought a new coffee table from the silent auction at the fundraiser
 ...and we got a new trampoline and put it together on Sunday
 Matt and I jumped with the boys for so long on Sunday that both our legs hurt!  Only sad news is that is decided to snow about 6 inches on Sunday night, so the boys haven't had a chance to get back  on
 Alec teaching Charlie the crab walk - part of a gym class activity:)  Happy Spring
