Playroom Progress
I love organization. So much. However keeping up with the toys has gotten a little more difficult. I have had these things on my list for a while but getting the time and money to get it all done made it take even longer. But finally, we have organized Legos and dress up!!!

There were certain drawers I fell in love with at The Container Store...which side-by-side were about 1/2 inch too wide for Ikea cubed shelves. So of course my Knight-In-Shining-Armor swoops in with, "I'll just build you a shelf." And so it began.

Thankful for this guy for working hard on this project!

And for those of you wondering about that dress up storage...we found this leather ottoman on a  local sales page. Now there are dress up clothes in it instead of kids of course. It also doubles as a stage or place to sit so we are loving it!

Moms Night
A couples of moms were really excited to try out an Escape Room, so off we were for another Mom's Night Out. We had such a fun time and went out before and after the Escape Room. You are given 1 hour to find the clues in the room. Each clue leads you to another key, another key etc. (I think there were at least 12 locks...) In this room we had to unlock a key in the floor which had fake gold, which was the end goal. I loved to see how well everyone worked as a team to get us out in time! We made it with 10 minutes to spare! (Apparently 40% or less actually make it out!) I was relieved to find out quickly that they don't actually lock us in the room to solve the clues...as soon as they told us that the idea was much more fun! :)

A Little Lake Time
We always love a chance to play in the sand when the weather is nice!















Pizza Field Trip
We have so enjoyed having a field trip each month this semester! This last one of the year was to California Pizza Kitchen. We toured the kitchen and then each child was able to make their own pizza. My favorite quote after we chatted about the day was Makin talking about watching the cook throw up the pizza dough. "I thought it was going to hit the ceiling!" Such a fun time with friends!

Spring Weather
We have headed to the park after school a few times now that the weather has warmed up. One Thursday we had an official 3rd grade get-together at the park and then a few of us went out to eat after as well. Jaedynn brought out her guitar and Lorelei and Reagan enjoyed watching her play a bit.

We headed out to fly kites one Friday afternoon with Julia and Amelia.

Brad and Makin fit in a fair amount of golf this month. Brad is organizing a school golf scramble so that has been the added motivation to get them both playing or hitting range balls more consistently. (Of course he would do this all day every day if he could!)
