Track 2012: Home Meet 1

RoseBud missed the first Track Meet of the season because she was competing at Forensics regionals that day. She qualified for State for the second year in Forensics (last year she earned a Silver at State). Here is the second meet of the season, the first meet at home.

Running the first leg of the 4 x 800.  They came in second (of two teams) and her split was 2:39.

Her first long jumps of the year.  She scratched the first 3 and jumped 13'5" on the 4th jump.  The winner jumped 14'10".

She also ran the first leg of the 4 x 400 and they won that race.  Her split was 1:09.

Spring!

Something Interesting, For a Change

I know it's Lent and all, and we're jumping the gun just a bit, but I found all these neat Easter ideas online today. I keep meaning to jump on the Pinterest bandwagon, but haven't done it yet. So these came from someone's Pinterest board, but I'll just link them for you.

This fun idea came from Housing a Forest. We used NuPastels, so we didn't watercolor wash them. We just used more pastel and rubbed it around.

And from Owlhaven's blog (which she repinned from someone else--I don't know much about this pinning, but it seems difficult to credit the original creator.) I made:

I used my digital scrapbooking program (I actually have SBC Studio for the Mac, but it's no longer available) to make this.  Do look at the one on Owlhaven's blog to see the original.  She printed hers to use as a framed poster, but I left mine as a .jpg to use as my desktop photo.
