Cookies with sprinkles?
March 12: Day 72
My sweetie girl, during an afternoon break, snuck down stairs and pulled out her Easy-Bake Oven and began a project. I love how determined she is because she got most of the way through a creation while following the wrong recipe. Luckily, you can't mess up these recipes too easily, so we remedied the mis-measure and voila, sugar cookies frosted with pink sprinkles. Well done Isabelle!
Snug as bugs in a rug...
March 11: Day 71
Daddy had to travel for a few days for work, so after the girls and I got cozy for bed, we hopped in mine and watched a bit of America's Funniest Home Videos. It's one of the few programs that we like to watch as a family. And nothing is more comfy than Mama's bed, the fluffy blankets, the bazillion pillow. It's safe and warm and a great place to cuddle.
Volcano!!!
March 10: Day 70
Another soccer Saturday at the park. This time, we were there to watch Macky play. While sissies are playing, Sarah usually finds her friend Vee (short for Veronica), who seems to spend as much time at the fields as we do, and play. In this case the were playing volcano. They would find as much dirt as their little fingers could manage to scratch up, stack it on top of this very volcano-looking rock and pour water over it from a used, yet rinsed out Coke can or Zip-lock bag. Very creative, indeed.

March 9: Day 69
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that after 7 years of sitting in the backyard and enduring sun and rain, one of the swings finally gave out and broke in half. Lucky for Isabelle, she was just slowing down and preparing to stop when it let go. We had a pretty good laugh over the whole thing, though. Especially since no one was hurt.

PJ day at the PLC...
March 8: Day 68
For home schoolers, this isn't as exciting as it probably is for traditional schoolers. The girls take a class or two on Thursdays at the Personal Learning Center and we found out the day before that it was pajama day! So, luckily, laundry was done and the girls picked out their most comfortable and school-appropriate pajamas and off they went. Of course, since we do plenty of school in our pajamas every week, it may have been more challenging and memorable if it was "come-to-school-fully-clothed" day. Ah, the joys of home schooling.

A haircut and ice cream!
March 7: Day 77
Macky and I headed over to see Miss Lauren today to get our hair cut. It's so fun having a little special time with one of my girls. We have a tradition that when we get a haircut, we head across the street for a scoop of Baskin Robbins ice cream! Lucky for me, I have three girls so it's three times the ice cream!

My girl likes to mop...
March 6: Day 66
Now that's what I call a hard worker. I love when the girls take it upon themselves to help out around the house. Each week, each girl has three chores to complete for a small allowance on Friday. Isabelle had to sweep the kitchen floor, but she took it a step further and mopped too! I love it!
