March Madness

It is the middle of March and finally, we have sunshine. Yes, there is still rain every other day or so but the sun is out in between and everything is starting to bloom.

So we have started working on the yard again and making sure to look for worms. 

And since Elliot started flag football season in the beginning of the month, we have been outside every chance we get. While his first game last Sunday was cancelled due to the muddy fields that did not kept the team from practicing for two hours. There are 4 coaches and 6-9 children. And he loves every minute of it, mud and all. 

Practice and a touchdown before he gets tackled. So much for flag football where there is supposed to be no tackling of teammates. 

No nap and two hours of running and being too dirty to sit in the car equals one tired and whiny boy. Luckily, after some ice cream and a hot bath, he was back up running again.

Practice on Tuesday evening - I go for a run and then sit on the sidelines to watch the rest of the practice. It gets quite chilly by 7pm but the kids don't mind. 

Too cute not to share: 

This little boy had his picture day on Wednesday and wanted to wear his "prey" dress shirt. 

Amelia got a haircut and Elliot had Sport Days at preschool: 

Happy preschoolers:

My friend from Austria, Bettina, and I decided to put our baking skills to good use and make some Kaesekuchen and Mohnrolle. It both was delicious and we coupled that with some traditional Chinese and Japanese Tea. 

While I helped out at school on Thursday, the second graders made Oobleck. 

And then we took Amelia's best friend home for a play date. They look like sisters.  Two silly girls!

Today at Amelia's dance school, they took the recital pictures and I can't get over how cute those girls look in their ballet and tap outfit. The recital will be in May but here is a sneak peak of their outfits: 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
