Think Spring

Well the snowy month of February is finally gone. Beautiful it was and gave us a lot of "down" time, with field trips, school, tumbling, Girl Scouts all being canceled part of the month, but I am ready to move on to Spring! I know they say another big snowfall is expected in March according to the Farmer's Almanac, but for now I am happy with sunshine and temps in the 50's!
In the month of February we were still able to go as a family to an Girl Scout bowling party, fun was had by all. My girls love to bowl, we just never take them often enough I guess. The Viking Fest was a big event in our house, yet again. Gretchen always decorates a cake to enter in the cake decorating contest, she has one in the past, but not this year, but a friend/neighbor did. And can I just say they are 2 amazing girls! Gretchen went to congratulate Abby on her win and Abby told Gretchen she thought Gretchen did a good looking cake too and gave Gretchen some of her prize loot (candy). Thought that was sweet on both girls parts, the other mom and me talked and agreed it was because they both have such awesome moms, lol. Delaney was disappointed to not be able to decorate a cake for the contest (you have to be in Kindergarten) so she helped me decorate one for the Cake Walk. And Jason once again won the chili and cheesecake categories. I even had other mom's asking if he would share his recipe, lol. Just go to the Internet and you can find it. Big joke since he doesn't cook at home for us very often! Maybe I will enter in the cake decorating next year since I have been amazed at what we have been learning and that I can do it at cake decorating. Probably won't though since I am to busy helping the rest of my family get the prize winning goods ready! Girl Scout cookies have been in full throttle and I am pleased to announce Gretchen achieved her goal!! Good job Gretchen!! Of course, she came to the realization this year that next year she will have to share her cookie sales with her sister, who wants to be in a troop next year when she can. And of course, she is already wanting me to be the leader, I am really hoping another mom will be leader and I can just be an helper, but we will see I guess. And yes, I would probably be crazy enough to do both, since I have been the leader in Gretchen's for the past couple of years. Tumbling is still going well for both girls, with Gretchen still working on perfecting her moves, while Delaney has got her back walkover and working on perfecting that. And Spring means softball practices will be starting very shortly. Still can't believe though in just a couple weeks Spring Break will be here and before I know it the first year of my preschool class will be done.
As March is here we are looking forward to Lucky the Leprechaun coming to visit on St. Patty's day, softball starting, Spring Break, working on Vacation plans and the weather getting better and better, so I can warm up and get the garage cleaned up! Think Spring!!
