Random pictures from March

At work, there's a little tiny patio that no one else uses, and at least while it's still cool out, I like to sit out there and enjoy my lunch break.  It's pretty nice.  I'll miss it this summer where even in the shade, it's pretty miserable. 

Maddie had a drama thing.  I don't know.  Drama kids are weird.

Christopher loves cubscouts.  He earned his bear before they split our ward (again)

I don't know why I took a picture of this.  There was a purpose though.  I can't remember and since I found it on my phone, I decided to share.  It's the one and only trophy I ever won.  I was ridiculously proud of this thing, and the day I won it, I walked around the halls of my jr high with it perched on my books, and everyone was all "Hey! good job!"  Looking back though, I'm sure some people weren't as impressed as I thought they were at the time. 

My fridge died.  Fortunately for me (not so much my mom) it waited for the week my mom was visiting, and so she cleaned out the fridge for me while I was at work, and called the appliance guy, at which point he told us it was dead and we needed a new one, so grandma kindly helped us out with that too.  (Thanks, Grandma!)

We had the sister missionaries over for dinner one day.  Maddie wants to be the one in red when she grows up.  That girl has my kids beat.  She was in choir, drama, orchestra, and band. #goals

Maddie got asked to Spring Formal (aka Mormon Prom) She was so excited.  I was too.  There was quite a bit of screaming and jumping up and down from the both of us when we opened the door.

It was the consensus on facebook (at least with a few of my friends that cared) that the people who vote early should get stickers too, so I made my own.  And since I was at work, I used what I had available. 

They gave me new (temporary) duties at work.  The will call girl was on medical leave, so I was the one you'd come see if you wanted to buy a new fire extinguisher, or have your old one inspected.  Very exciting stuff.  It was actually a nice change of pace.

waiting for the bus in the morning...

Can I just say how much I love this door to door service with the school bus?  It's really fantastic. I totally give the bus driver and the attendant caramels at Christmas time and at the end of the school year. 

Our friends, the Brooksby's visited, and we went to a park and had a picnic with our other friends the Rees' and the Smith's, and this is the only picture I have.  And it's because Maddie did my hair and took a picture of it to show me.  You can see most of Jenn's face, and Gayla's hand. I love these ladies, and I never see them and this is apparently the best I can do. 

When you fill the Easter eggs with the change accumulated over the past year, your kids are never too old to hunt for eggs in the back yard.  In fact, it's the one Easter tradition they insist on.  We didn't dye any eggs this year, but we hunted for them. :)

Maddie's predictions

Ok, so I may not know the future, (see previous post) but apparently Maddie does.

In two years she will graduate High School.

In three years she will serve a mission.

In 5 years she will become a Jedi.

And in 6 years she will meet her Han Solo.

Sounds like a good plan to me.
