2023, March 20-26

Just when we thought winter was done, it came roaring back (Who are we kidding? This is Utah!). 

On the first day of spring, Monday, Mike was busy at work all day, and Hallie was busy helping Eliza with school and running errands in the afternoon. 

On Tuesday, Hallie got her nails done in preparation for her Disneyland trip. At the place she goes, they have a cute dog. Penny is a Cavi Poo who is so fun to pet and play with. Eliza came with to the appointment and played with all three dogs. They love the attention. Hallie wants a Cavi Poo, and Eliza wants a Husky.

Later, E went to TKD.

Here are Hallie's fun nails.

Eliza did art at BUH. Unfortunately, she rarely brings home her works of art. We are glad she makes it on the BUH Mapleton Instagram stories so Hallie can catch a bit of what happens.

Ferg showed off a blep.

Overnight Thursday, Eliza sneaked into Mom and Dad's room. She still looks so innocent in slumber. 

Mike decided to jazz up his office with some Mexican tiles. Only these aren't tiles (duh), they're decals. 

Friday morning started off snowing. 

Then it turned sunny (stayed cold). 

With his class, Mike attended part of the university's Pow Wow. 

By the time they left, it started snowing again. 

Sunday morning, Fergus and Eliza trapped Dad on the couch. 

We got snow again! The snowpack here has reached record levels. Lets hope for a slow thaw. 

Mike took Eliza to Michael's for the craft class. They made wreaths. Somehow, instead of putting Mike's wreath in the bag, we managed to leave it in the store. Sad! 

Eliza really likes to get out and do things. We are glad we have the time to spend with her to give her the enrichment she needs.

Hallie spent most of Saturday and Sunday preparing for Teacher Appreciation Week, which starts on Monday: breakfast on Monday for up to 100, lunch on Wednesday for closer to 100, and gift bags for all of these great people who work at the junior high where Landon attends.

Hallie really likes the quotation at the grocery store she saw this week. Friday the kids forgot their medicine before school, the 2nd period preschool teacher didn't show up, and she put a lot of work into Teacher Appreciation. Hallie is grateful this last Friday will never have to happen again.
