The rest of March moments...

So a lot of the month got away from me. I think it has much to do with my Girls on the Run coaching which has turned into a second job that I don't get paid for.  Unless you count the hugs.  I do get paid in hugs. 

Hailey's last day of yoga.  For now...

Love will'nt.

The cutie tags we made for Hailey's Girl Scout cookies we delivered.

Her "lap marks" for GOTR.  That is a mile and three quarters right there.

A visit from the leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day morn.

All decked out so she won't get pinched.

Three little leprechauns with a birthday wish for Grampa.

For reading month they got to dress up like a book character. I saw a lot of Disney princesses but my girl was pure awesomeness as Amelia Bedelia.   She was so spot on.

She won her class award spirit stick and the one that was for the whole school.  She was so cute about it.  She wanted to surprise me and not draw a bunch of attention to herself at school.  I knew something was up when all of her friends and were busting to tell me something and she wouldn't let them.

We saw the Allegro's production of Legally Blonde.  Hailey hanging out in Elle's dorm room after the show.

Then she got to meet Elle Woods in the lobby.  Look at Spencer creeping in the background.

Representative Holly Hughes came to read to their class for reading month.  Hailey got autographs for her and Evan.  Evan's make me laugh so hard.

Spencer received his Life Scout advancement at the latest Court of Honor.  Next stop Eagle.  The Mother's get to go up with them and get a pin from the boys.  The pictures leave much to be desired.

Evan also got some merit badges at the dinner.

Evan's drawing of a mammoth.  The boy has some drawing skill.

My view from the Burger King drive through.  Bye Bye bank building.  Before I started working at EBW I dreamed of working in that building in a sweet window office.

My sweet girl thinking of her good friend's Grandma.  She has the hugest heart.

Big brother reading the "One school - One book" book to Hailey.

It was a Good Friday.

Touring the water filtration plant.  It was pretty interesting.

Hailey's Easter place cards.

Some loot from the bunny.  A cute hat and some Bunch Ems.

I love these three.

The traditional Bunny Cake!

Spencer and I got to experience the cool thing of watching the van go from 99,999 to 100,000 miles.  It happened while I was bringing him home from track practice.  We pulled over to take photos and everything.  It was a fun bonding moment with my brooding teen.

The last day of March is reading month.  Beach day!  Too bad it was far from it outside!

Monday moments

Last week was another crazy busy one around here.  I don't want to jinx anything, but so far this week is shaping up to be pretty low key and I think all of us are pretty excited about that. 

Last Tuesday Hailey and I started Girls on the Run.  She is a GOTR and I am a head coach.  Here is my group of fourteen little lovelies that I get to empower over the next ten weeks. 

I was very impressed with Hailey. On her first day she ran/walked a mile and a quarter.

On Thursday she had me send this photo to Daddy at school to wish the cast and crew good luck.  Daddy sent it all over his school so by the time she got to the show that night she was famous.

Friday was Mismatch Day for March is Reading Month.  It is always funny how much my kids love the spirit days.

On Saturday afternoon we participated in our first Girl Scout Cookie Booth.  It was a very nice day so the girls had a ton of sales.  They sold almost 300 boxes in four hours!

Saturday night we went back for the final show of Wizard.  While we were looking for Spencer after the show, Hailey spent some time in the witches castle.

Selection Sunday.  It was dreary out, but warm so the kids spent some time shooting hoops at the neighbor's house.  I laughed my head off each shot Evan took.  He threw the ball like a granny every time.  It gave me an idea though that a hoop might be a good Easter gift for the kids.  They are not super into basketball, but neither was I and I always wanted a basketball hoop growing up.

Here's to a good week coming up.   Everyone is healthy (but tired from our time change)!

Monday moments...(and it's actually Monday!)

This is going to be very quick because I have to shower and get the the grocery store before work.  This week is a busy one and at least having some food and meals planned out will make things seem a bit more manageable. 

Tuesday:  It was freezing out and I was feeling awful.  I came home from work got in the chair under my blanket and my little kitten friend hopped on to make me even warmer.   I am keeping my fingers crossed that I am finally  nearing the end of this crud.  I changed my medicine to one that dries up the snot instead of clears the head.  I can't tell you how amazing it is to be able to go for a full five minutes without blowing my nose. 

 It's the little things y'all.

Wednesday after DI practice.  Evan helps with dinner by grilling burgers - in his DI costume.

On Thursday as Evan and I were heading out to DI practice, Hailey had a cheery note in the window.

Friday was the Father Daughter Luau.  I hope to do a more extensive post on that and the DI tournament, but just in case I don't here is a sneak peek.

Saturday:  Evan's team came in first place at DI.  He was so thrilled.

OK.  I am off to get some stuff done around here before my energy and motivation goes somewhere else.

Monday moments (on Thursday...)

Last week was super busy for us which might be the reason that this week I am sick with a cold and cough.  

On Monday Hailey came home from yoga very excited to show me some of her new poses. 

Later on Monday we went to pick up Evan at cooking club where he made a delicious homemade peanut butter cup thingy.

On Monday night we went to the HS for a meeting on scheduling for next year.  I can't believe I have a child old enough for high school.

Then again...after borrowing "readers" from a friend of mine at the HS meeting, I decided it was finally time to take the leap.

Thursday was crazy.  Parent teacher conferences.  I was in charge of the PTO dinner for the teachers and had to take my in person CPR training.  Hailey helped me set up the buffet for the teachers.  Hanging out in the lounge makes her feel like a super star.

Friday was another half day for conferences.  Hailey and I went to Russ' for lunch after school.

Then we hit Kohl's to spend some cash.  We found these shoes for her to wear to the Father Daughter Luau.  She LOVES them.  It is hard to tell in the picture but they are a chunkier flip flop so they almost look like high heels.  This girl was sold!

After shopping we watched the first two episodes of Fuller House.  It was so nostalgic and cute.  We both loved it.

 

Saturday I spent some time trying to organize my paper clutter mess.  This is a big source of stress for me.  I wish so badly I could get these photos and memorabilia into scrapbooks but just have no time. Ugh!

On Sunday we spent some time hiking around Lake Harbor park.   Hailey wanted to go on a dangerous hike.  Whatever that means.

It was a good end to a busy week.
