Warmer Weather

Sarah got to go on her first ride of the year on St. Patrick's Day. Here she is afterwards getting a kiss. Mommy said "tell Kit to kiss you, you're Irish!", so here she is getting her kiss and smiling really big. Sarah rode yesterday too. The weather was just gorgeous! Today we were back into cooler temps, but spring is here! Mommy's feet hurt from running along beside..Sarah cannot ride on her own b/c the fields are way too muddy (and still snowy in places too. ) so we had to go down the road. Kit was so happy to be out though and it went well!!

We went to our neighbors house to play on their flat, clean driveway. (ours still has ice/snow.. our neighbors gets more sunlight so it's nice and dry too!) Sarah brought her bike and Christian brought his basketball. Daddy brought over the hoop and we got a nice taste of some warmer weather activities!! This was taken last week, and most of the snow is gone now. (Thank goodness!)

making a shot !

Sarah with her little snow man. (what a cute cherry-tomato nose!) The last snow man of winter.

weekend pictures

We made it to church! Horray!! Sarah has been soooo sick this winter, so we hadn't attended in a while. Last wed. she came down with strep, which is basically the only thing left she had to get. She's well on track now with antibiotics, thank goodness for that! Christian read scripture in church on Sunday. I snapped shot as he finished. He read Exodus 20: 1-17 and John 2: 13-22. He reads beautifully.

I like this shot of Christian.. the suspense of watching a Syracuse (Daddy's favorite) basketball game. (Sarah patting the kitty in the background.)

Sally can now play dead and she surprisingly does not confuse it with rolling over, smarty pants! She'll do anything for a bit of human food!

check out Sarah's blog (that's all about her happenings with her various lessons!) www.asilearnasigrow.blogspot.com

A boy and his dog
It was "costume day" at Sarah's school on Friday. She decided to be a flower-girl. This is a gown that I once wore and it's one of Sarah's favorite dress-up items! Her hair was all curled and she carried a bouquet. (Sally got in the picture too, can't you tell she's one of the family?! Wherever the kids are, she is there too!)

What little girl doesn't like to twirl when she has a dress on???

homework time.... again! (obviously I didn't get out a whole lot this weekend, I caught the fever bug that was going around, but I did manage to get some pictures from inside the house!) Daddy did take the kids out for breakfast today and grocery shopping while I took a nap and Christian had two basketball games over the weekend, so they got out anyhow! I should have given HIM the camera! :)

Sarah's tower made out of "magnetix". My mom bought these for the kids a few years ago and they are still a big hit!

It's one of Christian and Sarah's favorite things to do.. have Sally run after Christian then Sarah sticks her leg out so Sal can jump over it! Sally gets a treat afterwards of course!

The big win

The team won the Hanover Tournament that went on during our February school vacation. Christian was hoping for the black tee-shirt.. we have a few white ones, the black ones are just for the champs.. yay!!! The team was just thrilled! Here is Christian with coach. :)
Here they are just after receiving their metals. Look how happy they are! (Christian end, right)

The team went out for pizza after the big win! Here are Christian (with his 4th piece of pizza) and Sarah with their pal's Liam and Shan.

In the tunnel together. We couldn't get Sally to turn around AND stay, so here is a cute "butt" shot!

On Saturday we were invited to a sledding party at one of my former pre-school students house (and also a neighbor). The hill was huge and the snow was covered in ice since it rained all day on Friday then froze overnight. Sarah came down the hill with Daddy.

Here comes Christian
