Bullet Points and Pics: Second Week of March

      Still catching up, so here are the highlights in bullet points and pictures from March 8-14

•  cheerio math for all different ages- using manipulatives is the best.  Dry erase is a money saver (reuse those worksheets and workbooks!) and they love the change up when we do some things that way instead of everything with paper and pencil.

 

• Not my favorite in the world, but Chris really wanted to see this Experience Hendrix concert featuring some amazing guitarists playing in a tribute to the talent and innovation of Hendrix. And I always have fun with this guy around. 

• A little me time, I snagged one afternoon.  So good.  Notes to friends, a nice snack, and another good Katherine Reay book.  

• The silliness of this kid.  She likes to repeat things and her favorite is the Mario Kart character Daisy, which is said in a high pitched voice (listen to the video)

 

             

• The silliness of this kid also!  He's so joyful!  (that pictures where he looks a little angry...he's not.  He's just talking and babbling.

            

•  Chris and I (and Kolbe!) attended a morning Lenten retreat at a parish not too far from us where a friend does music ministry.  Kolbe had fun playing and laughing with Dannielle during the breakfast portion.  And we got to enjoy a nice quiet retreat with a lovely reflection on the Our Father, some discussion, the rosary, and a beautiful Mass.  

 

• I am loving my Lenten journal from Blessed Is She.  So much to chew on (and yes, the doodling helps me to busy my hands while my mind mulls over it all)

• I am not in love with beer, but Chris' Irish red was delish! It's on tap right now, come visit!

• A lovely sunset shot Chris captured one evening. 

• Spring arrived (on the calendar, yes, but also in our yard!).  Our first daffodil bloomed. 

•  We had some friends over for a playdate.  So much fun.
