We saw the aftermath of last months storm as we started the month going for a family run through the neighborhood parks. We then had our first, of close to 10 throughout this month, Girl Scout Cookie selling booths before having a tremendous time bouncing around at Ava and Ricky's Birthday Bash having the entire Sky High Sports rented just for the party crew.
The following Monday the girls didn't have school, so the they were lucky enough to get to play with the Marshall's all day while Mommy and Daddy were at work. Then the Drama Club for 2nd and 3rd graders began with an early morning orientation which Cienna had been waiting for. That Friday after Cienna's class Scholar store during the day, we had free a Pizookie during date night since it is Mommy's Birthday month before heading to the Gymnastics for Team parent night where the girls got to teach Mommy and Daddy how to do cool moves on all of the events. As just a couple of examples, Kaylee got Daddy to do a pull over on bars and Cienna had him try handstands on the high beam. Mommy even got to prove she's "still got it" with her kip to hand-stand impressing the gym's director.
Sunday we got the Carver Parent Ragnar Crew all together at our house for a meeting to discuss details of our running trek to San Diego. Daddy got the first leg, which for his 3rd run of the 24+ hour race he gets to run over 8 miles, but does get to be the first of 12 to complete his legs of the journey. Mommy got a good slot if you only look how the miles play out having the longest run first and slowly going down in mileage for the next two, however it happens to be all up hill pretty much the entire time for all 3 of her legs.
During the next week the girls brought some books to school which they got to exchange with others who participated. Then they made their move to competitive level gymnastics (Level 3). This changed our weekly schedule around as their gymnastics nights got all switched up. Mommy had to cut back on a soccer game or two during the week, but it actually gives more time to make dinner and spend together after school for homework and playtime on the nights without gymnastics. Also meant that Mommy is now part of the competitive team coaching staff. The girls also participated in dress up at school for Read Across America honoring Dr. Seuss's Birthday before the weekend was underway.
The girls went to Cameron F.'s Jedi training Birthday and Cienna prepared for her Drama Club "Sleeping Beauty" audition that happened on Monday after school. She practiced and tried out for every spot. While waiting for the results to come on Friday, the girls both got to walk to the nearby Marshall Middle School to watch their production of Peter Pan. Cienna was very excited to find out that she got the part of Merryweather. She's gets a bunch of stage time during the play which isn't until after a couple of months of practice.
After many practices, it was time for the Talent Show Dress Rehearsal. The girls all did great and were excited for Saturday. The show was in the afternoon and was so much fun to watch. Both of their acts were so much FUN!
Sunday we headed to a Nerf War Birthday party for Aaron R. in Cienna's class. The two girls along with Hailey A. held there own among the sea of boys.
St. Patrick's Day started the last weekend of the month. After walking the girls to school, it turned out that the sub Ms. Ahrens (Kaylee's teacher) thought was going to cover her, never showed up. So, Mommy somehow found herself teaching the class for the morning (under staff supervision) until things got somewhat sorted out. The principal even came in to watch for a little while. We made Corned Beef dinner, wore green, and the girls of course got treats at school. Then the month ended celebrating Auntie Kimmie's Birthday. We went over to say Happy Birthday and ended up staying for dinner and desert : )
Cienna has been over excited this month with getting a part in the play that she really wanted and moving to competitive level gymnastics. She was so proud of herself getting her last skill to complete all her routines, her front hip circle on bars. She also had fun selling cookies which came to an end and we believe she sold the most in her troop.
Kaylee had gotten her front hip circle a little earlier in the month which was also her last skill needed to complete all her Level 3 routines as well. Even being the youngest one on team, she certainly holds her own and loves doing so. She was sad to see cookie sales come to an end but definitely sold her fair share and then some!
Not as many pictures this month, but there still are some cuties to see.
