School Days. . .

This week we had a few things at the kids various schools. . . 
Friday. . . Lindsay had a "Little House" party.  They have been reading Little House in the Big Woods together as a class.  She is addicted. . . she said that she would have loved to live like Laura Ingalls.  "Don't you even think that I look like her mom?"  (Except, for the teeth, I guess so, maybe.)  I think Lindsay was born into the wrong century.  She is now reading Little House on the Praire (#2) and wants to read the whole series.  I think there is 9 in total.  I am sure grateful for libraries. . .
They had a pancake breakfast, crafts, and games.  Getting to play with yarn and sew at school were the highlights of the day!!





Alie had her "Spring Party" the same day.  I was busy inside organizing a craft, but I did manage to snap a picture of her outside doing an egg relay.  Spring Break here we come!!

Earlier in the week. . . I actually was able to fit her new hair cut into tiny ponys.  Between the ponys and the white dress, I had to take a picture.  They are two of my favorite little girl things.  I just cannot resist a cute, crisp white dress!!

Ryan made the school activity list. . .which is rare for this junior high schooler.  He was in a play for his drama class.  Well, he wasn't "in" the play, but he was the narrator.  He really wanted an actual part, but in the end, had a good time giving character to his voice.  Great job Ryan!!

"Twin Day" was on Wednesday.  This year they chose to dress like each other instead of with a classmate.  This made it much easier for me, since they dress alike so much anyways!  I wonder how long this will last.

Last but not least. . .  Tuesday. . . Justin's classroom birthday celebration.
I did not notice until afterwards that he is surrounded by all girls in this picture!  His buddies Carter, Quinn, and Logan were much wiser.
Miss Lawson made him a birthday crown, which he still is wearing around the house.
Phew. . . vacation. . . it's here!
