Friday...
We're on spring break now until 4/6! Yay! Today I headed to a local scrapbook store to scrap with friends, while the kids spent the day + night with Grandma + Grandpa! We're really enjoying the different birds that are visiting the bird feader at my parents' house. Today we saw two different kinds of woodpecker along with cardinals and more!

Tuesday....
Normal school day, although the week before a break is never really normal. Made crockpot roast beef with carrots and mushrooms - a family favorite! We then headed to Morgan's first soccer game of the spring season. I forgot how quickly it gets chilly this time of year and will have my soccer/baseball survival kit (extra sweatshirts + blankets) in the car next time!!

Sunday....
Allison went shopping with Grandma yesterday and came home with a lovely knit everyday outfit plus this very pretty princess-y dress! She loves it! Bill headed to the golf course instead of church so we headed to Panera for lunch. We spent the afternoon playing in my parents' backyard. We watched birds, played in the fort, rode bikes, + played in the sand.

Monday, March 16th

Morgan and Bill were off to baseball practice so Allison and I strolled over to the park - which happens to be diagonally across the street - one of the nice things about our neighborhood! Well...there was this cat who had been stuck up in a tree....I mean WAY up in a tree. We'd known about it for a day or so, but came to find out it had been like 4 days. A tree service guy showed up and proceded to take the ladder, then climb WAY up in the tree to get the cat. We got to watch all the excitement. I hoped it turned out well as we watched, luckily it did!

TGIF
Morgan had his first OUTSIDE baseball practice today! Yes, it's still cold, but not freezing and the sun was really shining! Allie + I went over to the park. We heard the woodpecker or whatever bird it is and went to find it. We found a few others too.

Well...second tournament game didn't end like the first - we lost, but Morgan had 15 rebounds!! He also had 2 points + lots of hustle!! We do still get to play Saturday and can make it to the finals if we win out. We'll see. It has been fun to watch him learn more and more about the game.

Monday - I woke up with a terrible headache so I ended up staying home. I was going to take Allison to Preschool, but she didn't wake up until after 9:30! So we were home together. Picked Morgan up at parent pick up - which he loves. Bill took him this evening to his 1st soccer practice of the season.

What a long day....I worked with another teacher after school planning a summer workshop we're teaching. So we were starving when we left school to get Allison. We decided to head to Chick-Fli-A, then ended up at the park because Morgan is too big to play in the play area!
