Marching into sunny days

Casey started track this past week. He's got a good group of kids this year and thankfully the weather's been decent and looks good (for now) this week. Casey has Judy duty this month. The first week he was put on a case that got settled the day before sho he cancelled his sub and didn't go in. This past week he went in Wednesday, but wasn't ultimately selected. So he's up for another case this coming Tuesday. It's been obnoxious for him to have to plan for subs, cancel, take important days off, and have everything shift around this. : / Two more weeks, two more weeks.
Peter has been in a reading program since January. This will be his last week. His teacher didn't push him doing it, but I figured it couldn't hurt so we've dubbed it reading club and he's been positive about it. I've seen a difference and am grateful it's added some confidence to his reading. He's gotten into his first chapter book series!! It's called Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol. . .It's challenging him just enough and he's enjoying the story line. Peter is thrilled the warm weather is back, playing outside, skating, riding his bike. Peter is also making strides with his attitude. While he can still have a short fuse; he is managing his temper and controlling himself better. Positivity and focusing on the good has been our best tool.
Last weekend I got to go to the Stake women's conference. The speakers were very good, and I felt uplifted and enlightened.  While I was gone Casey took the kids over to the school. The older two roller bladed around while Alice played around.

This past week my beehives picked interior design for our activity so I put on my Pinterest hat and taught them about design style, incorporating it in their space, and a bit on organizing. I love HGTV, and organizing. My own style is very simple and wah wah to most, but it's something that interests me.
Kendal received an award (that she earned back in December) of student of the month for generosity. I'm proud of this little lady. She often gets overlooked with a little brother who is more to manage and a  little sister in the middle of everything. She is such a good soul and really cares about everybody. I've tried to  support her more during piano practice and she's doing great passing off her songs! This past week she had achievement days. She learned how to conduct and made a batton.



Yay for warmer weather! Peter's thrilled about it, and even Alice is begging to wing and blow bubbs. Let's hope this earth weather sticks. I'm done with the iffy weather, but can't help that where we live.


Alice keeps us laughing and busy everyday. Alice is all about books and would read them all day with me. She has her favorites and is also into the look and find books. She'll scour them too find the things. She's also still obsessed with Anna and Elsa. She requests the Anna song daily and still sings randomly. Here's some accessory of the days to add a smile to the post. The
