E.R. Visit
It started out innocently enough: BB announced that she'd "always, all my life" wanted to have a bow and arrow of her very own. She tried to make one of her own -- wish I'd gotten a picture -- created from a wooden dowel and a plastic spring. It was in the correct "D" shape, except she had the dowel (the stiff part) as the straight part of the "D" and the spring as the curved, flexible part. Exactly backwards, but the right idea.
More Soccer
The kids both continue to enjoy their soccer sessions on Wednesday afternoons. I finally remembered to bring the camera to snap a few more pics!
Playdate Time!
It's been a while since we had some friends over, so it was nice to have some playdate time! BB's friend C walked home from school with us -- they held hands the whole walk home. So sweet!
Quilling with My Crafty Girl
Last weekend, BB and I tried out a new craft: quilling!
Giki and Pop-Pop had given her the Twirled Paper book for her birthday, and we finally had a chance to open it up. Such fun!
Picnic with Tia
On the weekend, we had a picnic and mini-hike with Tia M! We headed over to one of our favorite local parks and enjoyed the beautiful evening.
Tent Camping and Saying Yes
Spring Break! And in an uncharacteristic burst of spontaneity, I accepted our friends' invitation to join them for some camping!
Birthday Easter Holiday Bonanza!
Talk about a big day: BJ's birthday AND Easter!
And did I mention that the Tooth Fairy also came for a visit?
He actually lost the tooth a few days before his birthday, but (influenced, I'm sure, by the fact that last year BB lost her tooth on Easter Eve) he decided he wanted to ask the tooth fairy to come back on his birthday. Which would also be Easter. So he left her a note...
And she left one in return:
Lunch with My Girl
Here's how you turn a visit to the dentist into something special: take your kid out of school early, have the check up, and then go to lunch together!
No cavities! And we enjoyed a yummy meal at one of our favorite local restaurants. That's what I call a special day!
Soccer on Wednesdays
The kids have started soccer! On Wednesdays after school, they have an hour of practice. I was glad to be able to sign them up together, though BB was a bit hesitant about the idea. Now that she's gotten past her initial fear of the coaches, both she and BJ are having a good time.
