During the following week, the 2nd and 3rd graders had tryouts for the Wizard of Oz play that they are putting on in the beginning of June. Daddy had a fun game night with some of his co-workers, and Mommy also turned 39 that week just before the beginning of Spring Break.
We made sure to fit in time to dye eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide for the girls. They had a great time searching around the house. There were a couple missing but after investigation we found some shells in the grass outside... Porter. We then headed over to a fabulous brunch at the Snow's with more goodies and egg hunting.
The girls spent some great days for Spring Break at Campfire camp while Mommy and Daddy were working. The days Mommy stayed home we went to the Columbia Memorial Space Center followed by lunch at the Souplantation, girls enjoyed fixing their own ice cream for lunch! Luckily it was after they had plenty of salad : ) We also enjoyed a hike at the Nature Center and a visit to some adorable animals at the Animal Shelter. Of course there were also dance shows made up by the girls and some dress up including the use of Mommy and Daddy's attire.
The next week, back at school, the girls got free dress for Spring Pictures. Also Kaylee had her x-ray appointment to luckily get the good news that she can stop wearing the sling! Toward the end of the week the Brownie's had a quick get together to make a sign for Tony, the school janitor to thank him as a random act of kindness. During their meeting, Mommy and Kaylee took Addy to the park for a quick energy release. That evening was the dress rehearsal for the big Carver Talent Show that the girls have been preparing for! Mommy organized Cienna's Brownie Footloose Show, Kaylee also had a Daisy act, On The Good ship Lollipop, and joined the Kindergarteners as well as the Genie's from Aladdin. It was amazing to watch all of the kids have such a great time!
Kaylee had her monthly Daisy meeting and the Brownie's took a fun hike at the Nature Center. Cienna also had her first Wizard of Oz practice after landing a main character role and is really enjoying it!
The last weekend was another big one while the girls were at their all day (2 sessions) home practice gymnastics meet, Daddy was helping Roman celebrate on a self guided brewery tour in a 15 passenger van. The next day we made some cupcakes, got invited to join the Marshall's for swimming at the JCC, and put together our trampoline that was donated to us by the Bakx family who needed the space to make room for their new pool. Although we have many rules, some of which we haven't figured out yet, the girls without a doubt have been enjoying it!
Then the last night Cienna got awarded during a nice ceremony, and display of all participants art work, for her book that she entered in the PTA Reflections competition early in the year earning 3rd place in the district.
She was so proud to be awarded for her work and wants to start on something that she can turn in for next year! After the first Wizard of Oz tryouts, she got a call back that night along with 2 other girls to determine who would be the Wicked Witch in the play. After a little consideration she decided she would do her best and was thrilled to end up with the part! Her first gymnastics meet was surely a success because she was all smiles and had a great time!
Kaylee was such an amazing trooper during her almost 5 weeks wearing a sling for her broken collar bone. Even during plenty of jumping crazy birthday parties, she just made due with the fun she could have. Then the doctor gave her the free to go statement and it was on. Although she did take it easy when starting back at gymnastics, it was only one week later that she did all of her routines during the practice competition. However, I think she just had the most fun hanging with her friends at the gym and then had to do a couple of routines in the meantime! I also call that successful.
The girls just keep growing, along with there beautiful personalities and style. They are supportive of each other and are best friends most of the time : )
Check out the Pictures!
