Pizza Pizza!

This week has been very pizza focused. We're wrapping up the first big fundraiser of the 24/25 RHSMB season and I'm one of the co-leads. I spent quite a bit of time at RHS this week. On Wednesday night, I was there gathering pizza money (so many sold this year!) This helped me to learn that this is the maximum fundraiser leading capacity that I have. I'm happy to help out, but it's been a lot of planning over the last few months, and now I'm super nervous for distribution on April 10. We generally do all of the sorting and distribution outdoors at RHS, and I'm worried about the weather. I know there's nothing that we can do about it, so I just need to come up with an alternate plan in the event of crummy weather.

Pizza aside...I also volunteered to measure for MB uniforms this past Monday morning (4 hours), and then was back to the high school that evening for a fundraising meeting. That was a lot of time spent at RHS for 1 week (and not during active MB time.) I was very happy to have the week wrap up at the end!

Other than that, I think we just had normal things going on this week...swimming, TKD, National Chinese Honor Society, etc. It was the beginning of the 3rd trimester, but Ava had minor adjustments to her schedule. 

I think the most exciting thing is that the kids are on Spring Break next week...and so am I! I decided to burn 5 PTO days, and take it easy with the kids at home. We have a few scheduled things, and a whole lot of relaxation ahead of us. We got hit with a snowstorm on Thursday night/Friday morning, and we're supposed to get more snow/rain at the beginning of the week. Weird weather for spring since we've had a very mild winter, but we desperately need the water. I drove by a cow watering hole the other day and it was really low. We don't want high fire dangers this summer!

And relaxing with Pria and a latte on Saturday morning


Wishing Grandma Deb a very happy birthday on Saturday - look at this beautiful card that Ava made her! 


I'm sure next week's post will be all about the non-adventures we had during the break!

Exploring Local Places

By
Last Sunday was the perfect day to explore an area that neither Arya nor I had been to before. We headed east to walk around the Vermillion Falls/River and Greenway area. The path was nicely paved, with lots of overhead shade from trees; there were so many families out on bikes and walking, and we had a nice view of the Vermillion River. Arya got some great pics, and I enjoyed spending time outdoors with my sweet girl. This weekend, G and I will be heading out to explore a creek area in a few towns just south of us. And I've already got an idea for another creek I want to walk by next month (it's a bit further away, and I'd rather put that aside until Arya is off at college) The tree leans to find the sun On the way home, we stopped at the DQ in another town (we have a love/hate relationship with the DQ in our town, so I wanted to avoid it.) The warm weather felt great, and we enjoyed some sweet treats while watching the world drive by. We're counting down the days unti...

What a Week

By
The weather has been unseasonably warm this fall, so we've been able to extend our outdoor projects just a bit.  This past week Scott's been working in the garden, cleaning everything out, and repairing the back wall of our garage.  Ava was such a good little helper, scooping up dirt, but still trying to keep her hands clean while doing it! I swear, a box is all she needs to make her happy. Princess Darla. Princess Darla has had enough.  I personally like how she and Ava have the same expressions in this picture. Apparently Spanky was bored - check out that yawn in the background! We went down to Grand Meadow this weekend, and as always, it was so fun to see Ava and Isabel play together.  They actually had several little conversations with each other - and they were so polite while doing so!  We even had them share a room last night...boy, that was a challenge.  I think they finally fell asleep around 10:00pm.  And of course, Ava wa...

Apples & Pumpkins 2026

By
Fall is such a fun and busy time for us. There's always something to look forward to with our annual fall fun activities! Last Saturday, we headed to Fireside Orchard, chatted with Darren and Tiff for a bit, and took home some goodies...apples, jellies, cider, and fudge. It was a perfect day to spend some time outside! On Tuesday night, we headed back to the Minnesota Zoo for the Jack O'Lantern Spectacular. This year's theme was trivia...and they changed up the layout and added some new activities. It's such a fun event, and we look forward to it each year! He was jumping in this pic, hence the awkward arm placement Waiting for our dinner to be made The wall of pumpkins Roblox Aliens MN Frost!
