The week ends...

Yesterday, I had the great honor of chaperoning the Daisies.  Charlotte and her troop went to Madison Fire Station #7 and OMG, did the Kindergarteners bring the cute!  Charlotte checked in with me often, hung out with her nice friends and we all had fun.  I love her class, I love her Daisies troop.  I am so glad I had a second student at SMG because Natalie's class is so completely different.  I am still in shock at the savvy "mean girl" behavior of her class, that started in freaking Kindergarten.  And, apparently, nothing can be done but lip service.  It's an unlucky class for my sweet, empathetic, kind and plays-by-the-rules Natalie to be placed in but the universe just isn't always fair.  Charlotte and I will help her get through.  We are both her biggest fans.

Auntie is coming to visit with Olivia and Jillian tonight.  Tomorrow, I'm back at SMG to volunteer for the rummage sale.  Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to volunteer there but I've always been a time giver, in addition to opening my checkbook for tuition, monthly giving, etc.  They do learn some good lessons at the lil parochial too.

Tomorrow night, we party with the Texans for St Patricks Day.  It's Bill's bday and CJ is throwing him a party, because they like to party.  And kids are always included as well...Jamie and Izzy are becomming good friends to our two ones.  I love them all!

80 degrees today, yesterday and likely tomorrow.  March 16!  No winter this year...I can count on one hand the days we actually accumulated snow.  I fear global warming is alive and well in 'sconnie.

Time to get the girls!  TTFN, SI.

Four little princesses

I've found that a really, really kind thing to do to myself is to eat out on Fridays.
 
Saturday morning was 9 am soccer.  The Wands v the Parrotts.  We really aren't at the stage, U9, where the score is emphasized but I happened to notice that the Wands won 3-2, with two goals by our lil Miss Natty Rodenkirch, and the other being a run down the field and pass to mate right at goal (strategy) by the very same Miss Natalie.  I mean, that's pretty unbelievable at any level but especially when she has my genes.  She is going to try tennis after soccer ends.  I can help with that.  But, soccer.  Soccer is her thing.  She's a pretty awesome player too.

At 11:30, Miss Jamie and Izzy Bowser joined us for the next 24 hours.  That was fun.  The girls are being a lot more polite to each other after the playdate/sleepover.  It was a big sis/lil sis matchup with an amazing Fall day to pull it all together.  The Bowsers are originally from TX and they have some cute mannerisms and emphasize the polite.  It was fun, and exhausting. 

Chicken and dumplings for dinner and then baths and early bed.  Pack is up 33-27 v the sketchy Vikings of MN.   Go Pack Go Pack Go Pack!
