March 25 - March 31

   Monday March 25th I took the kids to school and then came home and ran on the treadmill. As April approaches so does Rachel and I's GOTR 5K so I have been trying to run a couple days a week so we can both have a great race day. I then went back to town and picked up Alec and we came home to unpack bags from our skiing weekend. Rachel had GOTR after school and Alec was bummed that they had to cancel soccer practice due to the rain and cold. So we stayed home that evening and had chicken, broccoli, and rice for dinner. I made it in the insta-pot and I thought it was good, the kids liked it but thought it had too much cheese.
   Tuesday the kids had school and I ran to walmart. We then came home and I worked on taxes most of the rest of the day. The girls rode the bus home and then Rachel and Alec both had practice at 5:30 and 6. This is a huge mom win for me, when the kids have practice overlapping it makes the trips to town so much better. Becca played at the park with Clarie while the other two practiced and then we picked up Qudoba before coming home for showers and bed.

Great Wolf Ears and Soccer Shirt: Alec's favorite things

   Wednesday I took the kids to school then helped put together bags of popcorn for Dr. Day. After getting all the bags together I had some extra time to deliver some bags and drop off our taxes before going back to the school to pick up Alec. That night the girls had CCD and we had pick up duty. Mike had a meeting and the kids and I came home to eat meatloaf before showers and bed.

The best time of year!

   Thursday I took the kids to school then ran errands and delivered more popcorn. After picking up Alec we headed to Hershey to help set up for the HELP Club carnival. Alec always has so much fun helping us and he provided great entertainment for the ladies working. We stayed and helped until school was out then we grabbed the girls and headed home to change before going to town for soccer practice. Alec did not have practice so he stayed home with Mike. After soccer we stopped by Traci's to pick up some clothes and then headed home for dinner and bed.

Becca at Practice

   Friday we took the girls to school and then stayed to help set up more carnival stuff. It snowed and snowed and snowed. I felt sorry for the president and vice president of HELP club as they had to make a big decision about holding the carnival or rescheduling. They chose to have the carnival and it ended up being a successful night. After school Ella B., Elly, and Bree came home to play until it was time to go back to the carnival. Mike was on call so he was not able to go but the kids and I had a great time. We had so much fun I even forgot to take any pictures. After the carnival Ella. B, and Elly stayed the night with us.

We had to stop and get a picture with the Queen Miss Fur Trade Days Addilyn Wilson

   Saturday we woke up to lost of snow but the sun was shinning. After a big breakfast the kids all went outside to play before Ella went home. I scooped snow and then we came in and had hot chocolate. We then hung out and played most the day before getting ready and heading to church at 5:15. Mike was on call and worked most the day. After church we all meet up with Marty and Lisa for dinner at Dave's Place. We then came home for bed.

3D Pen

 During the silent auction at school I got a basket of craft stuff. Saturday afternoon we tried out our new things. They all worked great and the kids had so much fun with each of the things. Sunday we just stayed home and played. Rachel and I worked on her diorama for school. She had to make a pueblo and add things to the outside. The 3D pen came in very handy to make sunflowers and corn stalks. Mike went to an auction and got a new trailer. Rachel had volleyball practice that evening. Mike and the little ones stayed home and watched a movie while Rachel and I were at practice. Sunday we also had a couple fish funerals. This year non of the fish, (we ended up getting more as the carnival had a bunch of extras) made it more than a few days.
