More of March

We hit the jackpot with our neighbors. Seriously. We have a few that we don't know very well, but the ones we know we adore. Our neighbor Russ always comes out to say hello when he sees us outside. He brought his guitar and started playing and singing. Something about him and when he did this, reminded me of my Gramps. 


Lilly and her best friend Eva & Blake. I love her little friends so much. They are such good kids! Here they are at the Story Telling Festival at the school. Cute Blake wanted me to take him just so he could support Lilly. My heart about burst when he asked me!

Claire had her class field trip at the zoo this year. It was cold, but it was awesome. Because of how cold it was, we had the zoo to ourselves and the animals were really active. I loved being with Claire!

Cute Maddy Girl!

This day gave everyone a good chuckle. It was Claire's first experience being called down to the Principal's Office. I knew she was getting called down and had to snap a picture. She got called down because she was involved in "kissing tag". Turns out, the little boy was chasing her, but he didn't kiss her. It still made me chuckle that she got called down, and it was for kissing tag. Oh dear. All of us in the office, including the principal tried so hard not to laugh when she came into the office. 

March 2017

Ugh. I am so behind on everything - including uploading my pictures and blogging! I am looking forward to summer where I have more of my days back. So, I'll do the quick catch up on our life!

I have never been very good at making bread. Something about yeast scares me. Anyway, I had dinner club at my house not too long ago, and my friend brought this delicious bread that she said was easy. I thought I would try it. It was SO delicious!!! And the easiest thing I've ever made. Honestly. 

We had some beautiful spring weather therefore we spent lots of our evenings at the park and on bike rides. We loved it!

Our school put on a story telling festival that each child could enter. First they would write their stories, and the teacher would narrow down 3 students from the class. Then three students from each class would perform in front of the school. If they got picked from there, they would go to the district and so on. Lilly made it all the way to the district. I was really proud of her! Her story was Cindy Ellen. It was a "fractured fairytale". She was really nervous, but she loved doing it!

Claire claimed the leprechaun did this. Riiight. 


One Friday I decided to go and have lunch with the girls in the cafeteria. They loved it, and I loved it! Their friends thought it was pretty fun too - especially since I brought Girl Scout Cookies to share!

The activity days girls (Lilly included) put together this little thank you for me. I thought it was so sweet. 

Claire LOVES her scooter. She rides it all the time. She has even started riding it to school.
