3rd Quarter???

Say it ain't so.. Darby has only one quarter left of Kindergarten. It seems like only yesterday she was testing to see if she could get in,and Mike and I were trying to decide whether to send our little 4 year old to school.
Today Darby got her 3rd report card, and it was full of 1's (A's), and E's (Exceeds expectations). We are so proud of out little Boo. It amazes me the things she works on each day, and I cannot believe the things she has learned the past 7 months. She has put in a lot of hard word in the core program, and she loves to learn. We surprised her after dinner, and took her to Maggie Moo's for ice cream, and to go pick out a new bike. It was a wonderful night, despite the snow flurries! Hopefully they melt soon, and she can hit the pavement on her new wheels!

Busy Bees

This weekend was very busy! Darby had a lot going on. She was quite the social butterfly. Saturday started off with swim lessons at Millard South. She LOVED it. Every day she says, I wish I had swimming lessons today. I feel bad I didn't do it sooner but I am glad she is loving it! She had a gymnastics birthday party on Saturday for her friend Kylie, and Sunday her friend Elliot had a Tea Party birthday party. She had so much fun at each.
Corgan was getting inventive and stir crazy on Sunday. She put on an old winter hat, gloves, a sweater and underpants to go "shopping".
We had a wonderful weekend, and are looking forward to some warmer weather this week!

Weekend Warrior

The weekend flew by. Saturday I got up early and got Darby signed up for swimming lessons at Millard South. I got a pretty crummy time slot (10:30) which happens to be right during the Zumba class I like, so Mike will take her some weekends. Then Mike needed to help a friend move, so the girls and I went out for lunch, and shopped. Darby was really into picking out clothes, and she really doesn't need more clothes but I let her loose. I allowed her to pick out a few things. She fell in love with this yellow shirt that came with a scarf. She put it on as soon as we got home. She wore the scarf around her waist, in her hair, and around her neck.. TOO cute. She is all about fashion. I have no clue who this child belong to. Darby got to play outside with the neighbor girls too.. COME ON SPRING!!!
We also had picnic and movie night as usual, and the girls brought their anywhere chairs out and enjoyed the show. We watched Where the Wild Things are, which may be a bit old for the girls, even though they saw most of it at the theatre with their Daddy. Corgan roared throughout, and Darby cried at the end because she wanted Max to stay.

So you think you can have a weekend???

The weekend started off right. We had picnic and movie night on Friday as usual, and we watched Coraline, which is one of my favorites. Saturday I tried a Zumba class for the first time, and was feeling like getting outside only to find Darby wanted to be a homebody. We did have a lot of quality family time at home, that's for sure!
I figured it wasn't a big deal, and convinced her of a trip to the makeup store (Ulta) later in the evening.
Then Saturday night around 1am, started the worst night in recent memory. Corgan was sleeping in my bed, and Darby snuck in too. Mike tried to come to bed, but was too tired to fight with the girls so let them stay.
That's when the stomach flu hit Corgan.. And Darby's hair. Can you say EWWWWWW
Showers, laundry and 3 hours later we finally got some rest. Since my bed was indisposed I slept on Darby's floor.. Zumba + floor sleeping = am I really this old?
I am praying for spring and warm weather, and that health is our friend!
