It might seem like this wasn't a busy month but you have not seen how marked up our calendar is. Sure it started with a simple get together at a friends to talk about her growing business followed by Ava and Ricky's Super Birthday Party at Glow Zone with hundreds of people. Then a nice date night out for a Carver fundraiser at CPK. But the real business were the weeks filled with after school and weekend practices for the Robotics Club, Talent Show Practices... 4 acts between the 2 girls, one of which Mommy is the lead. Different days of practice for each girl for the school play of Snow White to come in June. There were a couple Girl Scout meetings, one of which we were in charge of St. Patty's themed snacks consisting of Green rice crispy treats and grapes. All that along with working hard to sell all the cookies that they had recommended to be able to sell of course. This is again on top of all the regular gymnastics, etc. that occurs every week. And breathe...
Then along the way we had some cookie booths and a planned power outage. Then on a Friday after going to school in pajamas for Read Across America Day, the girls missed the second half of school to compete in the Long Beach Open at the Convention Center. They did fantastic and Daddy took a LONG lunch break to come watch them. That Sunday Daddy left to go to New Jersey for a meeting at the Subaru headquarters. Him and his co-workers had a little extra time after the meeting on Monday to visit some cool sites in Philadelphia. Daddy even pretended to be Rocky Balboa! The girls missed him but had a good time, mostly trying to sell cookies.
We had our yearly meeting with our financial advisory who has become a good friend to all of us. This year he gave each girl a $2 bill. Mommy also took a little time on a Friday night to celebrate Minda's 40th Birthday. The following day we had Sadie's 10th Birthday along with Larry's 75th Birthday. The girls were able to start at Larrry's, head over to Sadie's, and then back for more cake at Larry's. Then Sunday, with more practices included in all of these days, Daddy got to spend time with Roman "preparing" for the Home Brew Festival (Brewing Beer).
Then there were no more cookies to sell, good thing it was the very last day to sell Girl Scout cookies! The Carver 2nd through 5th graders all got to walk to Marshall (neighborhood Middle School) to watch a really good production put on by the middle schoolers of Princess and The Pea. Mommy volunteered to work at the Y for a Kinder Open Gym, but then headed over right after to watch as well. We knew some previous Carver students and also some close gymnastics teammates that were in the play so it was a blast to see them on stage.
The last weekend we celebrated the wee bit of Irish in us with a delicious corned beef and a visit from Poppa and the Marty's. They came that evening in the new motor home and we all had a great dinner for the holiday. The next day we got to spend even more enjoying each others company. The girls also got to join in on Auntie Kimmie's birthday brunch celebration at Corey and Autumn's home!
The girls really loved their first season of gymnastics competition! It is now over with the exception of YMCA State and National Competitions coming in June. Cienna has really enjoyed robotics taught by her teacher and they are both excited about the school play and enjoy the practices leading up to it. The Talent Show will be a great time. Kaylee is really shining in her dances and has even had to step in for one of Cienna's girl scouts that won't be able to make the show.
