March


Celebrating Dr Seuss' birthday at school


Finished up Champion Basketball--two fun teams!

Jillian and I completed our first book club book. 
Adrienne made a room for her beloved elf, Sven, in her bedroom. Stolen dollhouse furniture from the basement with a Kleenex blanket.
We tried out the new STEAM lab in Rochester. They made robot bugs. We brought Charlie with us and made a fun day of it with lunch at Newt's and a stop at the new ice cream place afterwards.







My friend gave us a Play Mobil radiology set and the girls enjoyed giving Sven an ultrasound

Jenni and I went to see P!nk in concert. 7th row. Michael got us a car to drive us up to the Cities and back. No words to describe the fun we had. Amazing night of Mom's Gone Wild!

I walked up on Adrienne playing basketball at the RAC with these older boys. I almost intervened to tell her to leave them alone, but I quickly noticed that they were including her. Precious.
My bookworm. Reading anywhere, everywhere, and all.the.time.
Impromptu stuffed animal school photos
My new workout tank top--my spirit animal in clothing form
School carnival. Madness as usual.


Quick pre-Easter visit to Des Moines to connect with the cousins.





Adrienne moved up a level within her white belt at TaeKwonDo

February

February in photos...

Adrienne's classmate has an uncle who was on the Olympic hockey team that won a silver medal. Her family brought in all the stuff and the kids got to try it on. Adrienne is modeling the medal!

Jillian was the mystery reader one day in Adrienne's class

More basketball action

We played Superbowl Bingo, with Starbursts as markers. Why not?

I got to be a mystery reader in A's class, too! 

New friends from Mom and Dad for Valentine's Day. Everett and Aspen--penguins are the Gibbs school mascot!

At the end of the month, Jillian got to go on her special solo trip with Matt to Scottsdale (her birthday gift from October). She had a ball swimming, hanging out with Aunt Diana, hiking, and more. Separate post coming for that trip. Meanwhile, Adrienne and I did our best to live it up here.

I do not allow kids in my bed, but this occasion called for it. She was in heaven snuggled up next to me for 4 nights!
We did lots of cooking together





And she learned to tie her shoes!
