When I was in college, I dyed my hair auburn. Apparently in the right light, it looked purple. A roommate of mine called me “Purple hair Roni” as a result. Flash forward a few years and I actually dyed my 5 1/2 year old’s hair purple. Real purple. Purchased by Auntie Kari 💜 It turned out great and Shecklet #3 has had so much fun with it.
We now have a complete set of chairs for our painted table. Shecklet #4 spent some time creating her masterpiece this afternoon. It was fun watching her creativity grow.
Frozen yogurt tradition on the last day of school for the boys. Off to 3rd and 4th grade in August with Shecklet #3 joining them in kindergarten.
Grandpa Dave and Grandma Patti took us to Valleyfair as part of Grandpa Dave’s work outing. Shecklet #2 couldn’t get enough of the Corkscrew – he and Jake went on it 4 times in a row! It was a hot day, so we tried out Thunder Canyon (minus Shecklet #4 because she wasn’t tall enough.)
Shecklet #3 found a banana clip that I wore when I was a little girl. She would make a great 80’s kid!
Shecklet #3 lost her first tooth this afternoon! And she pulled it all on her own 😀 
This almost 10 year old is such a good big brother. Here is just one reason why.
Shecklet #4 picked out “The Littlest Petshop” figures with a Valentine’s Day gift card she got from Nana and Papa. Shecklet #1 took time to let her show him her new toys.
Nana stopped over today and delivered some tasty treats, milk, and spaghetti sauce that Papa had made. She came from BSF and was heading to an exercise appointment, so she made a wardrobe change before leaving our house. When she reappeared from the bathroom, Shecklet #3 immediately noticed that they matched!
