Mom got back from Arizona just before Ella's birthday (March 18th). She gave Ethan his own little cactus and she gave the little girls cactus seeds and little pots to grow them in. Carly decided to start hers yesterday. I told her that it can take about 2 weeks to grow. She checked it this afternoon and was disappointed that nothing was happening yet. No concept of time!
Ella's 7th birthday was fun! She got a new pogo stick, some hockey sticks and a pink telescope from mom and dad. She is up to 6 consecutive jumps on the pogo stick! Pretty good. She got a big bag of Cheetos from Ethan and a bottle of orange pop from Brynna. I think those were her favorites! Ah, to be 7 again and really enjoy the little things in life! :)
The little girls went up to my mom's for a few days last weekend. They have been begging for some 'grandma time'. They got to play Zhu-Zhu pets, go to Uncle Ron's, and go to Birdsall's to have yummy ice cream! Fun times! I got to enjoy a trip up to Savers and Value Village with Jacinda and Amy. We found a couple of new stores that had opened since we were last up there and they are now our favorites! Good times with great friends.
