PIE night....

March 19: Day 79

One of my favorite nights of the month: Mommy's night out.  It's glorious, all my very best friends meet at a coffee house or in this case, bakery and catch up on all the discussions that get interrupted all those other times that we see each other.  There are no scrapped knees, bee stings, sibling fights, or potty breaks to get in the way of sharing all the wonderful things and often challenging aspects of our lives as moms, wives, home schoolers and sisters in Christ. 

Look at this face...

March 18: Day 78
I must admit that this picture wasn't actually taken on this day.  I have unfortunately missed a day here and there and decided since I have taken more than one good picture on other days that if I miss a day, I'll just fill it in with an extra one.  This is the view I have when Sarah is standing on my feet looking at me.  I get this view very often and adore it. 
Now, on the day that I am actually blogging for, Mike and I went on a date!!  I know, you can understand why I forgot to take a picture.  I was too busy enjoying uninterrupted conversation with my sweet, romantic husband.  Ahhh....

Happy St. Patrick's Day, or is it Christmas?

March 17: Day 77

Although it's St. Patrick's day, apparently Isabelle still felt compelled to remember the Christmas story.  After dinner at some point, she called us to see her creation.  I was impressed that she could take a few toys and recreate the creche. 

Conference day...

March 16: Day 76
We are certainly an non-traditional type of home schooling family, so much so that while one child is talking to our teacher that we meet with every 6 weeks, the others are having a battle and destroying whatever house we are meeting in.  It's total chaos and fabulous!  We look forward to our conference every packet! 

Easter is coming....

March 15: Day 75
The girls are counting down the days to Easter and of course spring break.  They used their own money and bought window markers.  What you don't see are the windows in the living room, playroom, all the bedrooms, classroom and all the mirrored closet doors. 

It's only March!

March 14: Day 74
The girls were thrilled to be getting into their swim suits today.  San Diego is truly the nicest place to live.  Although they looked like they were ready to hit the water, it still was a bit chilly to actually turn on the hose.  But that didn't stop them from running around hoping summer would come soon. 

My music fairy...

March 13: Day 73
I realize it has been about a month since I've posted to this blog, but no need to worry, I've been taking pictures daily. 
Sarah is showing a lot of interest in piano these days.  I'm not entirely sure it's a true interest in the learning to play or just the fact that she is interested in anything her big sisters are doing.  Either way, I'll encourage any interest in music I can kindle.
