This was a good week. I'm still terrified to drive, but I have been putting a lot of space between me and the drivers in front of me, and I've been taking it slow(er) on the roads. I am so relieved when I make it to my final destination safely, and am quite happy to exit my vehicle! My new car is great, so that brings me a tiny bit of joy during my commute.
After baton on Tuesday night, we took the kids out for dinner, and they got another round of face painting on their arms. This time, we had a sparkly fish and a happy, fat bee! G decided it would be fun to run around pretending to sting people. We'll see if this will help him with his fear of bugs during the summer!
Ava's been doing great in her music class. She's been getting top marks for her recorder playing for the teacher. I love seeing her learning to read music. We have borrowed a trumpet from my co-worker for Ava's foray into 5th grade band next year. She was so excited when I brought it home on Friday - she immediately wanted to play it, but I'm having her hold off for a bit. She's all signed up for lessons this summer, so she'll have some basic knowledge when she starts band in the fall. This should be a fun adventure for her!
G's been progressing really well with potty training. I think he's finally getting it! We're not getting bags and bags of soiled underwear from daycare anymore, and I don't remember the last time I had to bring pull-ups into daycare for him. In fact, G just confirmed for me that he no longer wears pull-ups at daycare because he's a grown-up now. Ha!
Thursday night was a super fun night for me. We had a bingo event at work (with treats) at the end of the day, and then I headed out to meet up with a few neighborhood friends for a happy hour. With the March Madness commencement, though, the bar was completely packed and there was no place to park...but my friends were already there. Sad! So, I headed home, and hung out with Scott and fam for a bit. My friends finished up at the bar, picked me up a bottle of liquor on their way home, and then we all went to a house for a great night of girl time. It was so nice to be able to chat, without kids running around, and then know that I didn't have to drive anywhere to get home. I need to make a better effort to have that kind of time with friends more often!
Yesterday we dressed in green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! G was in the "John Deere" variety of green, but Ava was excited to wear some Irish gear. Our little green ninja also wished everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Looks like another nice spring day in Minnesota...it's great to see all of the snow melting and hear the birds chirping! Happy Sunday!
I did notice two interesting trails through my sunroof, though. And I only took this pic when I was stopped in the car!

Lucky looked so peaceful and snug in her bed the other day...
