Making It Through March!

At the beginning of Wednesday's post I posted that I would be catching up on events from the time that I was absent from my blog home. Wednesday was a quick look at January, Thursday was through February!

So here we are on Friday, which means we will be taking a quick look at March in pictures!

At the beginning of March I had to come home to pick-up my new prescriptions for the month, see Rudy and Audrey wanted me to take pictures of each of the animals (because she missed them so much).

Here's those pics:
Oliver,
Patch, 
Penny, and 
Bear!
She was so happy to "see" them!

March 7th was Ali's birthday (Granny & Grandpa's dog). 
Here Ali is enjoying his birthday treat...Frosty Paws.

Audrey's BJD' and other dolls she had with her!

Ali sleeping with his tongue hanging out. A very common occurence! 

 Who doesn't love sidewalk art? 
Audrey, Granny, Bridget (Janie mom) & Janie

Audrey & Janie making sure the driveway is pretty too!



All so very pretty, isn't it?
(notice the circled bird dropping :p)


Another muffin tin meal or "fancy food" as Janie calls them! Always fun to do!

Aw Janie lovin' on Granny.... or maybe she has her pinned - lol!
~♥~ 

Granny, Audrey & I made a trip to Goodwill! It was a good day. Audrey found 2 wonderful skirts regularly $4.99. On sale for $1.99 then we got 50% off for over 50 year old! One still had the tags on them at it was originally and $80 skirt!

The housewares was also 50% off plus my 50% for being over 50 yrs old!
This plastic shoe box filled with ribbons (there are a few more under the middle section) was marked $2. With deals of the day I got it for $.50! You can't get the box it's self for that much! 

This plastic ziplock bag filled with napkin rings was marked $6. So I brough home 22 napkin rings for $1.50!
All three of us found some fantastic finds! I didn't get a picture of everthing. Maybe I'll go back and take a picture of each of our "treasures".

March 17th - St. Patrick's Day

Nothing major really. We hide clue to a "treasure hunt" and the treasure is "gold" chocolate coins!

This year I found foam shamrocks (regular & glitter), I taped the clues to the back and hide them around Mom & Dad's house.

Here's a sample of a clue

Audrey with her first clue!

Just Janie!

Yesterday on the February post, I showed you a picture of a squirrel that had made a hole in Mom & Dad's tree and had a lovely home! I don't know how long the squirrel liked there (probably all winter). 

Well, now in March, we have a bird reusing the house. She seems to be enjoying it too!

Continuing on to February!

 My Mom watches my niece four day's a week for my brother & his wife. Usually that's Monday through Thursday. Sometimes the Monday needs to change to Friday. Well, this happened on a Friday that my Dad already had a medical test scheduled. So I planned to go over to Mom & Dad's and watch Janie for them.

When this happens, Audrey usually goes too and we stay for little awhile. We only live 40 mins. from Granny & Grandpa, but Audrey loves doing this occasionally. 

I took some of my left-over VBS crafts (the foam faces seen below). Me, Granny, Janie & Audrey had a blast making some fun stick people. Well, on another day my sister Mitzi came over and when you get the two of us together we go crazy : P!

We started "feeding: off each other and this is what happens when you give two crazy sisters foam, a pair of scissor, glue and some glitter!
These two are my sister and her husband Mark
(he has on a removable air cast - which he really had at the time)
My sisters four children
(L to R: Britainy 27, Keegan 19, Cassidy 17,
 and Avery 4, who is always dressed as a princess)
This group is some of the others we made that evening
(Prince Charming and a Princess is included in that group of course)
Later in the week my sister called me and said that all of a sudden
Avery blurted our "Oh no, we forgot to make Snow White".
Being the good aunt that I am, I made her one.
Then Audrey asked for Ariel!

See that whole in the tree?
A squirrel made it! It's his new home!
(Click on the picture to see it better)

February 18th we went to Jamfest to see Cassidy's Senior Hip Hop routine! It was fabulous. 

It has already gotten heads to turn around all around the nation. All the other team members and parents were asking when Midwest Cheer Elite's Senior Hip Hop was going to perform. My sister had several parents ask her the same question.

Cassidy and her team will be leaving for world competition at Disneyland next Wednesday, April 25th.

Waiting for Cassidy to arrive!
Still waiting: L to R My Dad, Mitzi with the camera, Mark, my Mom, and Avery in front
FINALLY, CASSIDY!
We all get to see her! 
She's ready to go (front and center)
