Assorted March pictures

Abby and Margaret took their babies to Pets Mart on Sunday with Patrick so that I could get some school work done. She is headed there again today on a field trip with her babysitter. Miss Jennifer's MOPS group (with about 5 toddlers) is meeting there to see the animals and headed to Chick-Fil-A to play and have lunch.
Friday was the Fun Fair at school. The whole family came to help out. I was in charge of the "Clown Toss" and Margaret helped pick up the beanbags and distribute prizes. Abby got her nails painted and was thrilled with all the little prizes.
Bubby watched Abby that day and helped with the big kids after school since I had to work until 8:30 pm. Long day for us all! Bubby and Abby played dolls, playdough, ran errands and went to Country Cookin' for dinner.
Celebrating Patrick's big 4-0 with the kids.
Abby assisted Patrick in mixing the salt dough for his volcano project. He got to "explode" his volcano at school. He is taking guitar after school and chess club. This week soccer season started and next week he starts archery club. Busy, busy, busy.
Margaret's weather project this year was on Blizzards. She read a whole book and then wrote some facts in her own words. She drew a picture and covered it with cotton balls. Then she put wax paper over the whole poster and painted it with white-out. She got an A+!
It's her last week of dance. I am investigating horse back riding lessons for the spring.
Spaghetti is a favorite...but don't forget the cheese!

AP went to 4-H winter camp a few weekends ago. There he is down in front. He had a great time and is looking forward to the summer camp.
