Also in March...

the little things that I missed...

St. Patricks Day was fun.  We had a traditional dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house with corned beef and all the tasty fixings.  The girls had mini-parties at school and my brilliant intentions to do themed snack and crafts kind of got lost in the chaos of a typical day.  The next morning, L woke up eager to find the gold a leprechaun must have left us.  To her great disappointment, there was no gold, no footprints, no trap.  I really had no idea that she had such expectations built up (I'm blaming school).  Had I known, it would have been a lot of fun.  But instead, I brilliantly remembered that I did have a gold $1 coin int he car.  I dashed out to find it and hid it in her Lucky Charms.  Crisis averted and notes made for next year.

Fantastic Date night with my smokin hot husband.  We went to dinner and to the theater to see Les Miserable.  It's my husband's favorite and one we have seen a few times now.  It's always an amazing experience and I love spending the whole drive home analyzing the plot and performances.

I taught Pilates for the first time and loved it.  It's really not a big deal but seems like another step for me.  I regularly attended Pilates for over a year and now still go when I can fit it in.  But it was fun to teach it and was a good challenge to mix up my work out.  Hopefully I'll be able to sub for that class more often and maybe eventually even have my own regular class.  I'll need to get more experience and expertise before I can do that but it's something to look forward to and work up to.

A and E have been regularly attending storytime and it's slowly getting better.  A usually loves it, E tends to bounce off the walls.  They loved to collect a pile of books and find a place in the wall (it's full of little cubbies, perfect for snuggling into) where they can read until I drag them over to the gathering area when it starts.  E doesn't last long before she's trying to wander off but slowly getting better.

E LOVES her music class so we have now started a second semester.  This has been so much fun to have the one-on-one with her and watch her respond to the music.  I've thought each of my kids were so cute in this class, with such great rhythm and excitement.  But right now I'm especially enjoying how E loves to experiment with instruments and is pitching matching and doing interval repeats at such a young age.  I love listening to her sing and and amazed by her quick memory.
