Block Jello and Hickory Dickory Dock

Haydn and I started our block jello recipe yesterday. I follow a recipe blog and thought this would be fun and hopefully tasteful for us to eat. The recipe calls for 4 different colors. I think it would be fun to choose colors for the holidays also. Today we cut the jello into small pieces mix with sweetened condensed milk. Refrigerate overnight. Ours was solid by suppertime so we had some after supper. It actually tasted good!

Something fun the girls can help me make and be a part of!

here is a picture of it, it does taste better than it looks!

Today in preschool Haydn's craft was to make a Hickory Dickory Clock. Hannah still had hers she made at HTP.

goofy girls!

1st Grade Music Concert

Hannah had her music program tonight. It was short and sweet. They sang 6 to 7 45 second songs. Each child had a speaking part or played a special instrument. Hannah playing the xylophone Haydn watching very closely

St Patrick's Day

Stella, Porter, the girls and I headed down to MA yesterday for the 2nd annual St Patty's Day parade. It was a fun day, the kids were in the parade with Mom and dad. The weather was gorgeous! Later on we came home and got the girls dressed up in dresses/costume for the style show at Lefty's! Lynn made a new category for the kids once we arrived. Not all cool parents take their kids to Lefty's for a style show on St Patrick's Day. Stella and Haydn won trophies for their outfits. It was a fun day/evening!

spring like weather/picnic/parks/spring break

We have enjoyed day 2 of spring break. We have been outside playing on the swingset, flying kites, picnic lunches and parks two days in a row!! We are loving our 50 close to 60 degree weather!

Peace dude!

thumbs up to dessert!

Cat in the Hat

Today Haydn celebrated Cat in the Hat at school. The kids wore hats to school and made this craft today.

Water Park Fun

Mom & dad, Davidson's, Mark and Ken and the 4 of us headed to the water park last night. It was alot of fun. The 4 grandkids spent the night there. I think as much swimming as the 4 of them did, they should of slept very well!! The below pic is Hannah but the lighting was dark in there so all pictures I took were dark like this.

A Birthday celebration for me!

Ice Skating

After lunch we headed downtown to Brenton Skating Park. We had a great time. It wasn't too cold outside, perfect day for ice skating.

this is the beginning, both were holding the railing but got more confident as time went on.

thumbs up to ice skating

batting practice

Hannah starts teeball in April. Yesterday we went out and bought a helmet, bat, ball and new glove for her. Today we went into Sprayers and she practiced hitting off the tee and throwing the ball. Wes even pitched to her and she hit that way also. I think she will really enjoy teeball.
