March brought a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Soccer for Abigail is year-round but basketball came to an end for both Emma and Abigail. Emma pretty much went straight from biking to basketball so she is welcoming the break from after-school activities.
Abby wrapped up Jr. Jazz basketball at Basin Recreation.
Abby also finished up with futsal.
March 8th: Today was Emma's basketball banquet. I was in charge of the table centerpieces. The placemats and paper basketballs were bought but I made the jars--12 of them.
March 11th: Happy Birthday, Emma! So Emma had Ms. Denine as her kindergarten teacher. She still volunteers in Ms. Denine's classroom every so often. When Emma was in her class, Ms. Denine would have the kids sit on the table and put frosting on their noses while the rest of the class sang "Happy Birthday." Well, Ms. Denine does not let Emma's birthday go by without doing the same thing, year after year.
Not only does Emma make amazing cakes, but she also makes sourdough bread! What a process.
Abby had her last ski group on March 14th. It was not a great ski season this year. The lack of snow was nothing like we've seen before. I only got on my skate skis one time.
March 17th: Abigail had a choir concert tonight.
March 20th: Tonight we had Emma's 16 birthday party. We started at an Escape Room (yes, we escaped!), went to dinner, and then stopped for rolled ice cream for dessert. Super fun!
March 21st: Tonight, Andy and I went down to the Olympic Oval (where they hosted speed skating for the 2002 Olympics) and learned how to curl! It was so much fun!!
March 22nd: We had some extremely nice temperatures for a couple of weeks in March. (That certainly did not help our snow pack.). We took our first bike ride of the year to the resort and did a little tailgating with Uncle Jim and others. It was a great way to spend my birthday.
And guess who made my birthday cake from scratch???
March 26th: Instead of spring conferences at the middle school, they do a really cool Night at the Museum where the students show off some of the work they've completed. In her social studies class, Abby had to interview a family member about an important event in history. She interviewed Andy's mom about the JFK assassination. She also had to write a paper, make a podcast, and make a model of the event.
