Racing Car, Cookies and Cake

It is March already. In fact a whole week of March is now gone.
Rhaevyn is counting down her Sundays left in Primary, and she is eagerly awaiting
the Sunday she goes into Young Women (I think after today she has five left).

This week the girls had fun making something for Ben, Stacey and Aeva's piano teacher.
I can't post pictures yet, but what they made turned out really cute. Myles made something for Ben, but decided he liked it so much he kept it for himself. He said he'd try and make something else for Ben. I had to chuckle.
I know, Ben and Stacey, I am dangling a carrot in front of you.
You'll just have to wait until we come. And no guessing :)

Friday evening and all day Saturday my best friend and I attended a class to get certified for homeschooling (independently). While I have the credits needed to home-school on my own, I figured this was a good opportunity to learn some new things, get some new ideas, and really know the laws. I have to say I wish I had taken this class seven years ago so I would have known more of the ins and outs and the dos and do nots. I think I would have attempted to do homeschooling on my own a lot sooner instead of going the route of basically doing public school at home.
Oh well, live and learn. I have to look at the bright side and find the silver lining.
At any rate, it has been a wonderful learning opportunity.
Now comes the reading and homework until the next set of classes in April.
I am so excited to be own my own next year.
I've found my "Can do" spirit and confidence :)

Tonight Elsa and Chris made cake for dessert.
Elsa was such a big helper.

I just found these pictures from Valentine's Day.
I think I totally forgot to post them a few weeks ago.
The kids had fun decorating Valentine's cookies and giving them to the neighbor friends.



Here are Aeva and Myles making sure all the pieces were there to their new Lego
set they got after combining their Valentine's Day money from Oma.
Now for the Race Car section.
Myles and Elsa have been giving each other rides around the table on Lightning McQueen.
After four years that little car is still going strong.

Elsa has now figured out how to put her feet up on the car so they don't get hurt.
In this video they were having so much fun, and Elsa kept
laughing so much when she would run into things.
I just had to capture that laugh on video.

She isn't so much the crazy driver any more. She really has the hang
of it and whizzes Myles around the table so fast.
Now they have talked me into giving them rides.
I think they love it because I can go for longer, and I push them faster and pretend to do
make the car drift and tail spin. So much fun!

Well this is the fun that is going on around here.
Until the next post, have a lovely week!
