Bryn was buried in paperwork early this week as she wrote numerous essays and filled out applications for several scholarships that are run through the high school. The packet was due Wednesday, so she began printing Monday night. I was so proud I had remembered to purchase another ream of paper. So of course, we run out of ink! Back on track Tuesday night, but Bryn had a track meet so Jeff and I had to collate all 20 sets consisting of 1 application form, 9 pages of essays, and 2 letters of recommendation EACH.

Paige endured 4 days of softball tryouts Monday through Thursday. On Friday, the teams were announced and she made the freshman team! She will be 1 of 2 pitchers for the team. Yay Paige! Her first game is Wednesday already!

Bryn checked in with Dr Barczak on Thursday and he recommended she not do the hurdles til after spring break, but was good with Bryn running whatever other event she was comfortable doing. Bryn's been participating in all the practices and at meets she's been helping coach and taking times.

Maggie and Terry came down to visit Saturday. We're so terrible about getting anywhere besides our own events, it's nice people take time to come to us.

Saturday was also my final day of work at Kohls. I really did like working there. It did get to be a lot to juggle schedule-wise though, and I just couldn't put anything in the way of attending all Bryn's track meets and Paige's softball games this spring. They really hate it if I'm not there to take pictures.

I entered a team into our local Incredible Trivia contest that took place last night. We hosted the team, Random House, at our home. Jeff and I have both participated in Lawrence University's trivia weekend back in Appleton. We were able to recruit 4 families and shared dinner and snacks throughout the contest which ran from 4 - 9 pm. We had access to 3 laptops and 1 iMac. The contest even included a "road rally" portion which was kind of a scavenger hunt that we sent the kids on and they had a blast bragging how they had overtaken the "ladies in the green van" to take 1st place! The kids also were very quick googling and calling in our answers. Toward the end of the contest, we received a phone call that our team was one of the top 5 finishers and we needed to come to the studio! We were then announced as the 4th place team and made our television cable access debut! We all really had a lot of fun and think we'll do it again next year.

Bryn was supposed to do some testing for the UW system today, but opted not to as she has eliminated UW-La Crosse from her list of college prospects.
