Blue hair for #3
This girl likes color! We dyed the ends of her hair dark blue today. It’s so dark it looks purple (like the last time we dyed it.) but trust me, it’s blue. And so are my hands – just a bit.

Intersession 2018
The big Shecklets are off of school this week (because we opted to not sign them up for intersession classes this year.) Today we had a hand appointment for Shecklet #3, went to the park (until three bus loads of kids showed up,) and then went to MOA to ride some rides and go to the American Girl store.
Fun with friends
Our friends had a birthday party for their two-year-old today. As always, there were lots of laughs and a piñata and new this year were edible bubbles and sack races!
1st track meet 2018
We signed Shecklets 1, 2, and 3 up for a month-long track season in a neighboring suburb. Today was their first meet. They each had three running events and one field event.
Snow day…in April
19″ of snow in 48 hours was enough to have the kids’ schools declare a snow day today! It’s finally warm enough for them to enjoy the white stuff without getting cold in 10 minutes.
Music and Art -Shecklet #3
It is concert and art show season at school. Tonight I as the first of three events we’ll have in the next month. This girl did a great job in art class as well as singing with her fellow 1st graders!
Cousins!
We had a fun group of visitors today – Jake’s aunt, uncle, one cousin and her boys came to see us. The kids had a blast playing with their (great) uncle, who even took them to the little park to help them burn off some energy.
After playing at the park, we had pizza, pretzel jello salad, and chocolate vinegar cake. Jake’s aunt knows my faves 😊
Bad news, good news
Shecklet #3’s class worked with one of the advanced academics teachers today and completed a worksheet where the kids had to write about and illustrate bad news/good news. #3 continues to process what has happened in the last 6 months. I’m glad she can articulate her feelings so we can continue to talk about the situation and keep moving forward. 💗
