Dallas Arboretum

We had a nice time at the Dallas Arboretum on Saturday. The weather was perfect and the tulips were exceptional. But Lizzy's allergies really kicked into high gear. 

  

 

Vultures, headhogs and kites

The dead rabbit clean up crew visited our street and did a great job. These are black vultures. They have pretty white tips on their wings. 

It has finally gotten warm enough to go for a walk. 

Lizzy got to pet my mentor teacher's hedgehog. She is adorable. 

We had to get out and fly our kite before March ended. We actually got it up for half an hour! 

Way up! See that little speck up there?

Falling

The girls were having fun seeing if they could relax enough to fall flat on their face on an old mattress.

Catching up March

We bought a tent for Girl Scout camp this spring and of course we had to try it out so the girls had some friend over for a tent sleepover. They lasted until 11 when they chickened out and came inside.  

Lizzy loves lobster!

Katie does not!!!

We checked out the Nebraska Furniture Mart - now the largest store in Dallas. It was a fun day and Theo and I got a new mattress to replace the sleep number we hated. 

I got my hair cut the shortest it has been in a while. I'm contemplating short hair for summer.  

I passed my big teacher test and I will be certified to teach in Texas as soon as I graduate on May 16th!

 Girl scouts had a fun meeting about water. They learned about oil spills and the Pacific garbage patch.

That was yesterday, so I am finally all caught up on my blog! Now if we can just stay home and not do anything it may stay caught up!

Snow!

 We had two snow days in January and February. The girls had lots of fun sledding. 

 Before the kids got out and ruined it.

Jackie did not like the snow. It is cold and hurts her feet. She decided to pee in the office later when no one was looking. 

January Band Concert

 Katie is doing a great job on her oboe. She had her second concert in January.
