Fat Bozo!

This pic needs no words! 

Emma turned 12!!!

The theme of this year's party was horses, and the color scheme was lavender. I was happy to see that all of my daughter's friends this year were able to attend. However, only one of them stayed until the end. The same friend who stayed overnight and we dropped off that evening.  

The candle that burnt the cake! 

Spring Break Fever!

Today, I decided to switch things up. Instead of the usual car turnaround for pick-up, I parked my car to soak up the contagious excitement in the air. It was such a sunny day, and all the kids were out running around on the playground. Once Emma spotted me, she ran and asked for a piggyback ride back to her friends. She loves directing me like a horse and I was happy to play along. Her friends and teacher were fun to chat with so we stayed for quite a while. On the way home, she talked me into sharing a snack at McDonalds. 

 

Beautiful!

She actually took a selfie with me! 

Emma had a wonderful day of pampering! Her Grandma and Bop-Bop treated her to a professional haircut, giving her the exact style she wanted for her upcoming big day. It's bittersweet to see her grow up so fast. She's turning 12 soon...it's also going to be a fun age (insert eye roll)!

Cupid was late

Due to Maddy and Sam being severely ill this February, our annual Cupid hunt at Wenzel Mountain had to wait till March! It was worth the wait, as Ga-Ga and Grandpa spoiled us with an amazing dinner and lots of sweet treats! 

Just before the hunt...

A train with clue #3

See's candy at the end of the hunt!

Get well soon!

    The girls weren't feeling well, so while Dane and I were out grocery shopping, I looked around for a cute get-well card. I couldn't find any that I thought would make them laugh until I spotted the Valentine's Day cards.

Covid?

Thankfully we're all feeling better tonight! Sam woke me at 3 am throwing up but is feeling well now, M* has been eating a ton! She's the one who needs to gain the most!!! Ugg, sleep eludes me! 

90's work party

We lasted one hour! 

My little petri dish

    I was woken early by this little one with ear pain. We later found out that in addition to an ear infection tested positive for Strep! Kids are like little petri dishes passing around pesky germs. Of course, a trip to McDonald's after her visit was in order. She is the only person I know who doesn't like the taste of Amoxicillin.

Will we be conscious?

We had a blast playing games and mini-golf! The question was... Will Dane and I make it to 2024 awake!?

Little to the left... Sam helping Christian try to get the BIG ONE! 

We also played a round of Put-Put golf! 

Made it till 12:15!
