Snow melting
People going for walks
Red shorts
Icicles falling
No heavy coats
Green grass

Working hard
Funny and interesting stories are happening around our house, but I don't have time to blog about it, or upload the photos.
I was "volunteered" to work on the program book for the fire convention coming up next month. That was a year ago. It needs to be finished by Saturday. I'm still getting ads, still getting info, so it is very hard to pull it together and figure out how many more pages I'll need it, etc. Many of the ads have been the wrong size, or need to be designed completely, or just flat-out re-designed entirely. Much of the writing has to be re-written. I'm working on this every spare second I have, including today while my students are having a reading day. I should be reading with them, but...
I will be burning the midnight oil to get this done.

Dance Competition
Yesterday my beautiful Macy got all dolled up for a dance competition, complete with fake eyelashes and full makeup again. A few of these pictures are from the "dress rehearsal" a few weeks ago, but she looked the exact same.
Look at that smile! Love her crooked little smile.
Macy and her friend Lacey.
This is most of the group, missing two. I have no idea why they are doing this pose.
Getting nervous before going onstage...
This is an accident picture, but I think it turned out pretty cool.
The girls did really well, winning a Gold. It's the equivelent of winning 3rd place. Then they won 2nd place in some other category. She loved it, and wants to do it again! The verdict is still out on if she will be in the competitive side or just taking regular dance classes in the fall.
And I finished my Jodi Picoult today, so life can return to normal.

Tidbits
Tidbits...
Bobby would like to request people to stop doing stupid things in the middle of the night so he can get some sleep, instead of no calls during the day and then being blasted all night. Thank you for your consideration. He appreciates it.
Macy has a dance competition in the morning. More fake eyelashes!
After a busy couple days at work, things are starting to calm down.
Kaylin came home yesterday asking to go to Hayden's house to play after school. She asked several times. She said, "I like him. But don't tell anyone." Ha! I just told the whole web.
I made a crucial error in judgement a couple days ago, ((No, I didn't run into the garage door again.) and started the new Jodi Picoult book. Why is this a crucial error? Because I have other things to do, and all I want to do is sit around and read this book!
So ready for summer break! And warm weather!

Brag Time
From Macy's report card:
"Macy is doing an excellent job. She is a very hard worker and is popular with her peers. She needs a little practice regrouping and making change for a $1.00." [She is her mother's daughter on the math part, what can I say?]
From Kaylin's report card:
"Kaylin has had a great 3rd quarter! She enjoys school and is always eager to learn and do her work. Kaylin is doing very well with her readin . Keep reading everyday at home! She needs to work on learning how to tie her shoes." [Now if we can get her teacher to stop calling her Kay Lin, we'll be all set!]

Conversations
Tonight I took 8 little Brownie's to a PJ Party. 5 in my car, 3 in another. Here are some conversations I overhead between the 5 girls. I enjoyed just listening. I'm jotting them down now before I forget.
Hey, listen to this. It's cool. Did you know they put Jesus on the cross when he was alive and he died 35 minutes later? He just died up there. He was born on Easter and died on Christmas. No, that's not right. He was born on Christmas and died on Easter. Oh, okay. But what about Hanukkah? You get gifts for like 2 weeks. That's pretty cool!
Wouldn't it be weird if you fell down and broke your booby? But I don't think you have a bone in your booby to break. You could only rip it in half. What if men had boobies? Some men do have boobies when they get fat.
Milk squirts out boobies. (much giggling) That's so the mom can feed the baby. That's why we have belly buttons too, so the mom can feed us while in tummies. What if your belly button was as big as the whole world? You'd have a lot to eat.
I just smiled to myself. How could I not?
