March in Review

Spring Break or Christmas Break? Last week was Spring Break. I think it would be better referred to as Christmas break. It snowed and rained all week. I had some fun outdoor activities planned but we did some inside activities instead. Sunday/Monday-sleepover with cousin, Tuesday-Painted eggs, Wednesday-Hawaiian Luau at the Library, Thursday-Skating and the Rollerdrome Friday-McDonald’s for lunch with friends and play zone plus Movie Theatre (movie, popcorn and surround sound in the bonus room.)



Soccer, Soccer, Soccer! Brigham, Daniel and Kyler have started soccer. They play on 3 separate teams. I have become an official soccer mom. I coach Kyler’s team and we spend all Saturday at the soccer field and 2 nights a week running kids to practice. Thankfully their practice is just at the school.

We painted these wooden eggs as part of our Easter celebration this year. Painted wooden eggs are very common in Russia. They are used for decoration in many of the homes there. It dates back to before Communism days. This just might be a new tradition. The kids had a great time and did a very good job designing and painting.


Daniel and Katya celebrated their 3 years Gotcha Day. We actually forgot on the exact day, so these pictures were taken the day after. Notice Katya’s adorable haircut.

I made matching Easter skirts for the girls. I also made them flowers to pin on their shirts. They were happy to have matching clothes again.



Look Who’s got Talent! Both Kyler and Brigham tried out for the school variety show. There were about 70 acts competing for 20-25 spots and both Kyler and Brigham MADE IT. They will perform this month. Kyler will be singing “The Rainbow Connection” and Brigham will be reciting the Poem, “I think my Dad is Dracula.” I was really proud of their hard work preparing. They had to have all the words memorized and everything polished.

Gammon is into EVERYTHING literally. See photos… He loves to clap and play pat-a-cake. He has started crawling and as you can see here he has successfully climbed 1 stair.…

Wow! Three soccer teams! I don't know how you do it! You are definitely a busy mom! I love the flour pictures! I can't believe my little one hasn't done that yet. I guess I better make sure the lids on tight!

You are such a great mom! I haven't done much of anything since Anna was born. Love the flour picture! Jackson does that too only with the bucket full of rice. I think he likes the sound it makes when he dumps it on the floor.

Sounds like your having a fun busy life. I'm in the same boat with soccer. I am even coaching one too. It is sooo time consuming! Hope you survive. :)
