Weekly Review

Here's a little recap of our week. Not too much happened.....just normal stuff, I guess! The kids all had a dentist appt on Tuesday morning. They all went back with the hygienist and Annika turns around and tells me, "I'll be okay, Mom....I'm not scared. The dentist is really fun." I've been fortunate to have kids that LOVE the dentist and doctor! We'll see how Isabel does when she gets older. No cavities! I asked them why they don't have any and Alaina told me its because they brush their teeth and I don't let them eat sugar and junk!

They all got their Tae Kwon Do uniforms....they love it. Master Lee told me that Annika still has no clue what is going on, so I may have to wait on her for a few months. I might get her into a program through the park district. I did not realize that this is not just a month to month fun learning class. The black belt program is 36 months and the basic program is 12 months. They all train for "tournament". I have to decide what to do with them.









We planted a little indoor garden. I'm hoping that we can watch the plants grow and then plant them outside when it gets warm. The kids love to check the sprouts out everyday and see how much they've grown! I'm thinking that they might get watered when I'm not watching, though, because the soil was pretty wet today when I checked them! So, we'll see if they grow or not! It was a fun learning experience, anyway!




Today Alaina went to her friend's birthday party at a place called "My Secret Garden." It was an old, historic Victorian house set up like a child's tea party dream land! The whole upstairs had hundreds of dress up clothes and shoes and all the accessories. They played dress up for the first half hour and then had a tea party with pizza's shaped as little flowers! It was adorable and all the little girls there said they were going to have their birthday parties there!



Of course, Alaina found the Sleeping Beauty dress!



All the party girls. They were all from her class.



Alaina drinking her "tea" (sprite and juice with marshmallows as sugar cubes!)




We had a "tease" with spring this week. But, the weather was back in the 30s today. The kids HAD to ride their bikes! I don't have pictures of E and A, but here is Annika when we got back from the park! She was so excited to be reunited with her bike again!



Isabel and I took a walk to the park to see what was going on. I put her in the Moby Wrap and then zipped her in my jacket! She was as snug as could be, but loved being outside checking things out! Here is a self portrait of us. :) I love her cheeks!!




These two nuts went with Tim to get the oil changed on the van. They remembered back in TN they got Cars posters one day from the Jiffy Lube. So, when Tim was paying Alaina asked the guy if they had any posters. They were all bummed out when the guy said they didn't have any and it must have been a promotion at the time. But.....they were never so excited when the guy did say he had these hats they could have!






Now that this week is over I have to rest up for another one! Amy, Vince and the boys are coming on Thursday for the weekend. :) And, if all goes well my mom and dad are coming, too. It should be a fun week of Easter activies. We are going to start the Resurrection Eggs tomorrow.....I'm a little behind on them, so will have to do two a day.
