April 13th: Day 103

Another fun day...egg hunt at church, roller skating (Claire's first time and Ella's second) and dinner at Stevi B's.

April 12th: Day 102

Busy but fantastic day today. It began with meeting up with Courtney, the two "wedding moms", my mom and 4 of the 5 other bridesmaids. Everyone is so nice and I think we'll have lots of fun! Our first stop was David's Bridal where we tried on a few dresses and probably where we'll end up getting "the one". We also stopped over to the Bridal Event, which was overwhelming to say the least. So many dresses!

I had to skip out on lunch with the girls so that I could meet up with Jeremy and get the girls so that we could meet dad for our visit to the PAC. Dad had gotten the girls and I tickets to the Beauty & the Beast for Christmas. It was both of the girls first Broadway theater experience and I think they really liked it. It was fun watching their expressions. After the show we had dinner and then dessert at Cherry Berry. Yum!

Ended the evening with some quiet time with Jeremy and an awesome foot rub. :-)

April 11th: Day 101

Jeremy went to the Brewer game tonight, so it was just us girls. I decided to pamper them with a little spa night. First step was a bath with bubbles and flower petals. They got to choose their own lotion for a mini massage once they finished their bath. Then we did facials (with cucumbers for the eyes!) and pedicures. They had a blast. (And so did I with seeing how much fun they had). Ella attempted all of her conversation in a French accent. Pretty hilarious! After the spa we had dinner and they had "kid wine" to finish off the night. Love our girl time <3

April 10th: Day 100!!!

Claire found my reading glasses that I had bought in college and wanted to see how they looked on me. We had fun playing with the camera and making faces, too.

April 9th: Day 99

I love hanging clothes outside to dry!

April 8th: Day 98

Claire & I did a little antique exploring today in Oshkosh. I found two more postcards with Almond on the front plus one that was written by someone living in Almond (possibly a relative?). It's so fun to find things with Almond on it because of it being such a small town. Apparently it was quite the town back in the day though.

I also found this little chair and kind of fell in love.

April 7th: Day 97

Last night after bath Ella had me braid her hair so that it'd be curly today. My beautiful girl!

April 6th: Day 96

It was a busy and wonderful day. Claire sang at the 8 am service, so we were up bright and early. After church Tarrah, Courtney and I did some antique mall shopping and had lunch at the Milwaukee Burger Company. So much fun spending time with cousins and even though we don't see each other a ton or spend a lot of time together as adults, we still have a bond similar to the one we had as kids.

While I was busy with my family, Jeremy & the girls were busy with his family. Jerison, Heather, Colleen and the kids came for a visit so they all went to Monkey Joe's. I was bummed I didn't get to see Gage & Hannah for long but it'll be a good excuse to plan another visit soon.

Oh, and the baby tree that we planted last summer survived the winter and is blossoming!

April 5th: Day 95

We may be dog sitting for a week in May, but since Jeremy isn't 100% sold on the idea we had Tammy over for a trial run today. The girls had a blast taking her for a walk and reading books to her. She is such a good dog and even Jeremy must have warmed up to her because he ended up letting her have free range of all non carpeted areas.

April 4th: Day 94

We had an impromptu family game night tonight. Jeremy & Ella played War and Dominos while Claire and I played some of her games from speech class and Tell Tale. Playing Tell Tale with Claire is pretty hilarious. She definitely makes you stretch to connect the parts.

April 3rd: Day 93

Mckenna came over for a playdate today. On the way to our house Mckenna asked Claire is she was still her best friend. Aww. Besties just like their mommies.

April 2nd: Day 92

No photo today, but I did work on a few more digital pages while Claire was in school today.

April 1st: Day 91

Ella wants to order some books, so we came up with some chores she could do to earn them. She helped with the list and we gave input.

1. Make bed
2. Collect garbage
3. Help with dishes
4. Help make lunch for school

Claire voluntarily vacuumed out a cabinet for me, too.

March 31st: Day 90

Good Night, Mr. Sun. See you tomorrow.
