St. Patrick's Day

We spent an afternoon at David March park with daddy on St. Patrick's Day. The kids enjoyed their green!

the rest of March

The kids spent the majority of March sick in some way, shape, or form.  Laney had a sniffly cold, then several days of fever (which turned out to be the UTI), then a piggyback cold with a nasty cough for a week. Owen had a few nights of croupy seal bark and struggled to breathe, then kept the daytime cough for several days.  We've had him off milk and dairy for several weeks, and it has seemed to help with his sniffles, but not 100%.

One Friday we met my friend Lillian and her youngest son Andrew at Sky City Bounce House and had some fun! We also ended up running into a couple of Owen's classmates from Little Patch.

When Laney woke up with her fever one weekend, ice skating plans had to be pared down to just Owen, momma, and daddy. We met Oqwe, Justin and Alice to ice skate.  Then we went to lunch at Fishtail, yummy!  The boys had fun playing around outside after lunch. 

Another Friday we hung out at home and watched the garbage trucks, still a favorite tradition!

Later that same day momma went to Pasadena for the first afternoon of the Kindergarten Teachers Conference, always a fun day and a half of workshops, window shopping, and down time with my team from school. After the evening workshops, Julie and I walked down to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. It was her first time ever eating there. We saw the cutest indoor playroom called Baby Polka Dot. I love Pasadena!

The next morning Alina picked me up bright and early (6:45!) to head back for another day of workshops. We decided if we go next year we need to spring for a hotel room and have a K teacher slumber party! A couple K teachers in our district had a booth selling things from their Teachers Pay Teachers site. At lunchtime, we all drove to a cute bakery called Bittersweet Treats. It was opened in December by Danielle Keene, the daughter of our school district office receptionist, who sadly passed away right around the same time as the opening. After my last workshop, Derek and the kids met me and we ate an early dinner at P.F. Chang's.
