STAR of the Week and weekend fun

This week, Will was Star of the Week at school.  He has been asking us for a while now when it would be his turn and he was SO excited to get ready for it.  On Monday he turned in his "OverAll Me" poster, where he wrote about his favorite things and things about himself.  My favorite was his answer to where his favorite place was, his answer "Home".  On Tuesday, Will got read a letter from Mommy and Daddy and his whole class got to watch a video about him.  Wednesday, Bapa came in to school as his special visitor and read the class Will's favorite books which included Beautiful Oops and Revenge of the Dinotrucks.  Thursday he returned an estimation jar with Easter eggs and Friday he had a mystery bag in which he hid a Han Solo Angry Bird.

This week, Isa had her good friend Ava spend the night.  The 3 girls acted like triplets the whole visit.  We enjoyed a cold day outside by staying warm at the Zoo's rainforest!

Saturday, we enjoyed the start of the weekend with a little trip to the bowling alley as a family along with the Shammots.   Gabi was the first one to quit... but the rest of the kids played all ten frames!

On Sunday, we celebrated an early Easter with the Sikoras and also celebrated Jen's birthday!   The kids were so excited to go searching for their Easter "bags" and looked everywhere until they found them!  As always, they loved being with Gramma and Bapa and their aunts and uncles, who spoil them with countless hours of fun!

Little Pony Party


On Saturday, March 2nd, we celebrated Gabi's 3rd birthday at The Little Gym.  Several months back, Gabi won a Facebook contest on the TLG of Avon site which entitled us to $100 toward a birthday party there and we took advantage!  Gabi has been extremely anxious talking about her "pony party" ever since Will's sixth birthday!  The day finally arrived, and she could barely wait until 4pm for her party.
Gabi was ALL SMILES!  She shook her bottom, jumped around, caught bubbles, and had so much fun being spun on the giant parachute!  She had a fabulous time, there was no doubting that from her expression throughout the party.  Her friends and cousins also joined in on the fun and showed off their own skills.  After blowing out her candles, some fruit, popcorn and goodies, we headed back home for the "after party".  What a nice relaxing evening we had.  Gabi was definitely a little rascal with her cousins Grayson and Chloe! And Gramma got a special surprise when Gabi insisted on sitting on her lap to open presents!  Thanks again to all of you for making Gabi's day so very special!
