Ashley's glasses

Today we went and picked up Ashley's glasses. She was so excited to have a pair that she picked out.

I think she looks so cute in them.

Basketball Camp

At the beginning of March I entered a contest for a basketball camp. I didn't expect to win because I just don't have that kind of luck. A few days after I entered I was notified that I won. I was excited that Ashely could do a basketball camp over spring break. She loves sports and loves staying busy so it was perfect. Ashley was a little nervous on Monday to go but her nerves quickly left her and she had a great time. She is now asking that I sign her up for a summer camp with Hoop Haven.

She learned a lot of great basketball moves and had fun while doing it.

Basketball Party

I love having people over but our old house wasn't conducive for guests. If one girl had friends over the others felt like they had to leave so they weren't on top of the others. Tonight we hosted an end of the season party for Allison's team. It was fun seeing all the girls around our kitchen island.

The girls had ice cream sundaes and then hung out outside or upstairs. It was nice to be able to host this and not feel like our house was too small to have people over. I look forward to many more teenage parties.

Quilting

In January I started a quilting class with my friends. We are makeing a monthly wall hanging. Today we went and worked on our second quilt. Last month we learned applique and this month we learned paper piecing.

I was a little intimidated but once I got the hang of it everything just moved along easily. I love the way that three kites turned out.

I worked all day and I am happy to report that I was able to finish Marches quilt.

When I finished I still had some time left so I thought I would finish February's.

I can't wait to go and work on April's. Quilting has always intimidated me but it seems a little easier when you have the right teacher.

Lunch

Ashley ask me today if she could make lunch for Kevin and I today. She is on track break and since none of the kids in the neighborhood are still in school she gets kind of bored during the day. I thought this was a great idea to keep her occupied. She made us salad and grilled cheese sandwiches. It was cute watching her prepare everything.

We also went to the eye doctor this morning and she found out that she needs glasses to see the board. Allison had her first pair out and Ashley thought she would try them out. She looks so cute.

St. Patricks Day

The girls have mentioned that they missed our special Valentines day so I decided to make St. Patrick's Day special. The girls came home to a treat on their pillows.

I also thought that it might be fun to try Corned Beef and Cabbage for dinner. The girls were not too excited when they saw it but they surprised me and ended up loving it.

I think we might have started some new traditions. It is fun making family memories.

Basketball is over

Allison and Ashley played in there last games today. Ashley's team worked hard and did a great job. She loved being on the team. McKinnlie her best friend was on the team. Josie a soccer teammate was on the team and then Mr Wickham her PE teacher was her coach. It was a great team with a lot of great people on it.

Allison played with most of the same girls that she has been playing with for the past two years. Her team finished in 4th place and then almost beat the number one undefeated team in the playoffs. They only lost by one point. It was a great end to the season. Allison isn't sure that she is going to play basketball anymore so this might be her last season. It will be sad to see her move on.

Unpacking

We have been in our house for a little over a month now. We have been unpacking a little each day and we are down to only two boxes left in the house.

It is nice to be down to these final two boxes in the house. I am not sure when we will get around to these last two boxes because they mostly consist of decorations that I am not sure where I want yet. Decorating is going to be a slow process.

Opps

Madison had her first wreck in the car. She was going to get gas and another car got too close to her so she turned a little too tight and scraped the car against a stop sign.

I am glad that she is ok and the damage wasn't more.
