Olympics Day at School

Maree's school has an Olympics day in the spring where the kids get to do lots of events/obstacles - here are a few highlights! 



Grandpa Russ has already informed me he needs to work on her form

Nothing like being as tall as the hoop!

March Randomness



Western Day at school
Every Thursday Maree has dance class… and Ellie tries to sneak and join it ALL the time

I rarely get to watch Maree dance b/c Ellie is WAY to active to just sit still and watch with me.. we often have to go outside on a walk

This month we also got a visit from Penny!!  Ellie still asks for her...

Love them :)



They love my heels

The Zoo!

In March we decided to take a zoo trip while cousin Madeline was still here - while it is a bit hard to navigate times to go see everything before nap time… we still had fun getting to go and see what we did see! The girls were pretty good for the most part - of course managing two kids while trying to be the only picture taker does prove to be a great deal of my stress at places like this!


Getting ready for the train ride around the zoo!







SO cute with their 3D glasses on

We went to a 3D showing of the Ice Age Dinosaurs movie (8 minutes long) - Maree and Madeline love movies… this was a totally different experience though.  The seats vibrated, water would spray in your face, etc.  Madeline cried for the majority of it on her mom's lap.. and Ellie immediately jumped into my lap and buried her face in my neck and didn't move for the entire thing.  Maree… she sat on the edge of her seat intently watching the whole thing.  I assumed she was loving it… but when we left, she informed me that the movie was scary and she didn't like it. Guess 3D movies won't be in our future!
So we  a  carousel ride would make up for the scary movie  - it worked!
