March Madness

March Madness is here! In so many different ways. Here's a few things we've been doing lately to keep busy.

Last week I had the Beehives (12-13 year-old girls from church) over for a sleepover at my house. Only 2 made it, but we had lots of fun. We worked on Personal Progress for a little while, then played Boggle, then they stayed up watching Madagascar 2 and Mulan while I went to sleep. In the morning we got up and made animal pancakes. Of course I forgot to get any pictures of the girls, but here are some of our creations:

Rachel has been really in to "helping" with the cooking. Anytime I'm at the counter doing anything she wants to come "help." Here's one of her helpful days making a salad for dinner. Yes she is holding that green knife. At least I only let her play with plastic knives, right? And that scratch on her nose came from diving into the garage. She did it again yesterday, only landed on her forehead this time. One of these days she'll realize that step is twice as big as the step out the front door. I hope.

Yesterday I got out our 3 Easter decorations to make our house feel more spring-y. Rachel got a hold of this bunny bag that had Easter grass in it and dumped it out all over the floor. After bringing half a roll of toilet paper and some fake flowers into the front room to help decorate.

And now the real March Madness begins. Woohoo! Basketball overload here we come!
