Thirteen years ago, this guy became the first Shecklet! We are incredibly proud of the young man he is becoming!
He requested chicken fettuccine alfredo for dinner tonight, followed by an angel food cake. (He lit his own candles this year 🎂.)
He’s around 5’7″ now – taller than a few aunties and getting close to looking me eye-to-eye!
Spending the day with the four Shecklets who call me mom.
They know me well and bought me cake (a cupcake cake, actually) 🧁 as well as the two roses in background on the counter (from the Cherish Life group at church this AM.)
Happy birthday to this guy!
His parents came up and went to lunch with us and brought a cake for dessert. The umbrella will come in handy at the kids’ track meets and at the cabin this summer. 🏃♀️ ☂ 🏃
We celebrated the birthday of our friends’ daughter this afternoon. Pizza, cake & ice cream and TWO piñatas! Breaking open the piñata and collecting candy is always a thrill for the kids. Thankfully the weather was nice enough for us to be outside.
Shecklets 2, 3, & 4 are participating in track this spring. However, today’s meet was cancelled due to impending crummy weather. (It never came our way – the rain and cold stayed to the south.) The track cancellation meant that I could take Shecklet #4 to FMSC to pack meals with a few other kindergartners from other classrooms at her school. It was fun to go with just her – and as you can see from the smile on her face, she enjoyed volunteering – just like her siblings do!
This kid read like crazy since the last book battle! His team took second place today – just one point behind the first place team. So proud of his self-starter attitude and love of reading!
He came home after the competition and cracked open a new book – this time he got to choose 📖
Jake’s brother and sister-in-law are in town for Easter and we were able to schedule a little time with them this evening at Bowlero. The kids played a few games in the arcade afterwards.
Guess I only captured Shecklet #3, but trust me, the others played as well.
Before heading out, we captured the latest aunt & uncle group shot with the Shecklets.
We took advantage of the sunshine and went to the local dam to see how high the water was and do a little walking.
