Whew! We had a busy weekend!
Friday was a little crazy at work- we had award assemblies and both of the big girls were receiving two awards and their assemblies were at different times! Gretchen's was in the morning, and she received the Principal's Honor Roll for making straight A's, and an award for having great expectations.
We're so proud of this girl!
During my recess duty, I found a little Cat in the Hat :)
And we ended the day with Megan's award assembly.
She received an award for great expectations, and the library award! We're so proud of her!
DJ picked up Adalyn after school, which meant I was able to head straight home!
But, when we were walking to the car, we found snail shells on the sidewalk, and ended up spending time finding more! We put them in a plastic bag and brought them home not knowing if they were alive or dead. The verdict now, is that they're dead, but we still had fun finding the shells, and looking at them.
Megan got changed for gymnastics, and did her best Kennedy impression.
She's a total look alike.
She's been learning about presidents in school :)
After her Kennedy impression, we headed to gymnastics. She's wanting to do competitive gymnastics, so we went to try out a class.
Saturday morning, we were at her last basketball game of the season. We've had so much fun cheering her on!
She didn't score, but man, she comes close!
Meanwhile, Gretchen and Connor were enjoying their time together.
After the game, Megan's team went out for pizza.
I love these little girls and their friendship.
Later that afternoon, we cheered Gretchen on in her last game!
She scored a basket and played some impressive defense.
The weather was gorgeous when we got home, so we spent the next few hours playing outside. Megan asked if she could ride her bicycle without training wheels, so DJ took them off, and she did it!!! She'll still need some more practice before they come off for good, but she'll be a pro in no time!
Meanwhile, Gretchen was trying to make something out of the training wheels.
And Adalyn was riding the scooter.
Gretchen found a cricket in our neighbors driveway and insisted that we keep it as a pet.
We let the girls take a picture, put it in a bowl, and then they put their pet cricket on the back porch. It was gone by Sunday :)
Sunday morning we said good bye to my parents. They had spent the weekend with us, and we loved having them here.
We headed to church while DJ headed to football for the first practice of the spring season.
Our church has a ton of Spring Break mission trips, and each of the girls came home with a photo of someone that would be going on a trip, with specific prayer requests. They all worked together and made a poster, and then hung it upstairs so they could remember to pray for their people.
We ended the day with a family dinner, putting away laundry, and fixing lunches.
And of course, books and bedtime.
Gretchen and I stayed up and watched the Oscars, and she let me know that one day, she'd be there winning one. And, I totally hope she is!
