Finally Caught Up!

And now for the happenings of March: (and then, I really will try to be more consistent with blogging!)

The first weekend of March brought the play. THANKFULLY. FINALLY. OVER. I started working with Drama Club last year. I was a co-sponsor with my friend Amber. She had the theatrical experience, and I had organization. The best part? Neither of us had to be fully responsible. But, go-getter that she is, she finished her masters this summer and was hired as a professor at DACC. So that put me in a conundrum. I have no theatrical talent (however dramatic I may be at times), and I have never been on a stage in my life save the day I graduated and the day I got married. But then cute little teenager faces came to me, pleading, expecting, wanting... and I caved. So I did drama club by myself. And it. was. horrible. No, not really. It was ok- just really stressful because I didn't have experience and was kind of making it up as I went along. Plus it took a lot of time. However, our play went AWESOMELY. About 4 minutes before it was supposed to start, Daniel came to me and told me we were out of seating, and we needed more chairs. My principal was out of town taking classes for his superintendant certification, and I was at a loss- until I grabbed some freshman boys, and we did some creative breaking and entering into two other classrooms and took about 45 more chairs! Who knew I'd need their skills? I didn't ask where they learned them- sometimes it's better not to know. I just appreciate their willingness to carry tons of chairs and watch our play!

Then, after three straight weeks with students (including my weekends), we got a random snow day in March. Our FIRST one of the year! The night before, Daniel and I were on the couch watching TV. We got a knock at the door, and the only person outside was... the biggest snowman either of us have ever seen. Pictures don't do it justice. He was as tall as our house. 5 of my boys (including 2 neighbor boys next door) made this huge snowman, had to use a ladder, and had to be completely quiet. It was awesome. Then, the next day, Daniel used his snow-blower on our driveways and the neighbors' driveways while Sawyer and I played outside. The neighbors thanked us with cookies and muffins (I just LOVE our neighborhood!). Then after naptime, we got another knock on our door. Six of my girls had arrived (with the biggest snowball ever in tow on a sled) to ask permission to build another snowman in an effort to out-do the boys. Lucky for them we said yes, otherwise they'd be hauling their huge snowball back across town on the sled. Sawyer came out and helped the girls, and it was SO FUN! Even though we've had a 57 degree day, we are the only people with snow left in our yard. HA!

Cute girls with their final product!

Last little picture comment, and then I'm going to change a dirty diaper and go shopping for our new REFRIGERATOR (thanks, drama club!). Sawyer likes to play with his tractors (but not so much cars- must be the city-boy country-boy persona we've got going on for Sawyer and Linky). Lately, he's been wanting his John Deere hat on when he plays with them. How cute is he???
