Anna's BFF

Anna and Gracie scheduled their own play date one day during school (too funny).  The girls have been together since MMO and are just so sweet together.  The day was just so fun with tea parties, dress-up, crafts and time on the bikes.

Leprechaun(s)

Alex woke up and told everyone he saw 2 leprechauns in his room during the night!!!  Everyone got seriously excited and it was a mad dash to see what clues they could find that a leprechaun (or more) had actually been in their house!  We were all so excited to see that the kids' autograph books they left out had been signed, mini green m&m's were everywhere, and each kid got a shiny lucky penny! Then, we found shamrock clues that led to a pile of green beads for everyone! It was such an exciting morning!

Village Park

We had a little time to spare and the weather was nice so we popped over to our new favorite park!  Last time we totally missed the swings and other climbing structures, so we were sure to start there first before the ginormous play structure!

 

Moving Up

Anna got her graduation card from level 3 to level 4 at Aqua Tots!!! 

We are so proud of you Anna Banana!

Colorful Expression

Over the past two months Anna has started spending a lot of free time drawing.  At night, she starts her Jack and Annie book on CD and sets her drawing station up in bed. She draws the most detailed pictures of our family and all of her cherished animals, baby dolls and close friends. She will spend hours on an individual picture and has completely used pencils down to nubs.   I can feel her love and passion radiating from each picture and portrait.

Snow in March

The snow came and went in four short hours but as the kids said, "we made the most of it!"  I am not sure if it was the "snow dance" or the ice cubes in the toilet (Thank you Ms. Casile for this tip)... but it worked!
