In Other March Madness

Besides hiking, skiing, having guests and getting baptized, we still had MORE fun in March.

Luke was the star student! I remember spending days on Ellie's poster. It had ribbon! And flowers! Nate and Sadie's were very much the same. And then poor Luke. We knocked this baby out in 25 minutes.

 

He still loved it miraculously. And I didn't feel so guilty throwing it away.

We were out at dinner one night with friends and I mentioned making bread balls as a child. It's where you take a loaf of bread and mash it all up together and eat it. For Valentine's Day she made me one and while we all died laughing, Luke fell in love and became obsessed.

One day he was suppose to be making his lunch, he came to show me his very own bread ball.

Dustin married one of our old babysitters. That came out wrong. Dustin performed the marriage for one of our old babysitters. 

 I cannot get over all these kids growing up. Including my own. I took her to get her eyebrows waxed and she suddenly looked older.

Luckily she does not always act that way.

Nate's football team played their main rivals for the football championship. Our team had won 2 out of 3 championships up until that point. The game was insanely heated with parents on the other team behaving poorly (including calling out our plays and screaming across the field). It was so heated, we actually had to have the league commissioner come over at half time and ref the rest of the game.

But we WON!!!! And by 2 touch downs. It was a great game and a fun pizza party afterwards. Little did we know 2 weeks later and a new season we'd be playing them again.

Luke proved that he is the best game player of all time by winning UNO! repeatedly.

And also becoming a land baron  in Monopoly.

 Dustin and I squeezed in a few date nights with friends.

We also got to go on field trips! The 2nd grade and Kindergarten field trips were the same day so after a few days of mourning the fact that I couldn't go on both, I talked Dustin into going on one.

I'd actually been on the Kindergarten field trip three times prior, and never been on the 2nd grade field trip, so I was really trying to talk Dustin into letting me go with Sadie. Guess where I ended up.

  

I will say Kindergarteners are the sweetest though. They all wanted to hold my hand and Luke constantly told me how much he loved me.

Plus, we get lunch as part of our field trip. It was at 10:30 and consisted of deep fried foods, but there was dessert!

Dustin had an excellent time on his field trip too.

And to end the month off, Sadie started softball.

She definitely needs some work on the field, but off the field she's a star!
