paint night

My friend had a birthday and expressed interest in a painting class so I signed us up and we painted!  It was a fun girl's night!  There were 8 of us that were able to make it and it was a night filled with laughter and fun and it was fun to learn something new! 

relay for life flamingoes

 We were "flocked" last week. What that means is that a flock of flamingos is placed on your lawn as part of a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.  You place a donation in the envelope and the flock moves to a new home.  The funny part was that the girls were obsessed with these flamingos.  They went and played near them all night and then made name tags for them.  It was hilarious.  They tied the name tags around the flamingos necks with pipe cleaner.  I am not sure how long the name tags lasted, but it was a cute little idea and project Heidi had and it kept the girls busy the whole night!

dance costumes

 The time has come for dance costumes and the upcoming recital!  It's fun that they all get to participate this year.  Their costumes and dances are adorable.  It has been a great season.  This is Heidi's last season, and probably Savanna's last season as well.  We can't wait to see the recital!

coaching soccer and bike riding

 Jeff hasn't been able to make all of the games and practices this season and since no one else will volunteer, it falls to me.  Totally not something I am super comfortable with, but it was good for me to stretch myself and try something new.  Heidi's team is pretty fun to coach and she has become such a great little player.  Savanna's team is still trying to figure out why the are on the field.  I had a huge headache by the time her game was over Saturday, but we made it through both games.  Caimbree was a champ and just watched quietly from the bench for both games.  She will get her turn to play probably in the fall. 

We have also been working on bikes. Heidi moved to a bigger pedal bike, Savanna moved up to a pedal bike, and Caimbree is on the balance bike.  I was teaching Savanna and then I saw these notes Heidi wrote on this whiteboard in the garage.  It made me giggle that she was giving me praise for teaching Savanna how to pedal.  So cute.

flowers in pre-k

 Savanna loves school and she loves her friends.  He best friends this year have been Riley (who was in her class last year) and Hannah.  We hear all about the fun they have together.  For Earth Day, Savanna's class planted flowers.  It was a fun activity and Savanna loved it. Anything hands on or active is the perfect activity for our Savanna girl!

more adventures at the lake

 We have had a strange spring with ups and downs in temperatures, but we made sure to enjoy the warmer days and of course hit the lake as much as could.  We love spring when the baby ducks start appearing and the girls love to count all of the turtles.  We can't get enough of Luther Lake!

railroad museum

 We have a really cool railroad museum in our town, and we have never been to it!  Today was rainy and soccer games were cancelled, so we decided to check it out! It was so cool and such a cool historic site to have right here in town.  It used to be a hotel and they have very cool artifacts and information about the town, the civil war, and the railroad.  They had a little play room and of course Heidi went straight for the books. We had a great morning and learned a ton!
