March 14th-27th

It's been a busy couple of weeks

here at

The Fantastic Five,

so I will be giving highlights for two photo collages-

please stick around for the fun!

:0)

***

 Highlights from March 14th-20th include:

*My mother (the kiddos' Marmee) came over

and set up the girls

newly renovated dollhouse

It-is-fantastic!

I wish my home was as cozy and put together as

their doll house is!

My mother has ALWAYS had a creative sensibility

when it comes to many things,

including decorating-

both the big and the small.

*Received our Nerf Rebelle Party Pack

in the mail this week

The kiddos

(boy included)

are pretty pumped about this party-

we can't wait to be
"at war" with our friends!

*Celebrated St. Patrick's Day 

with some Lucky Learning activities

The day began with a treasure hunt

left by our Leprechaun, Shamrock.

My littles were especially excited about the hunt-

it had them running up and down and all around

the house-

which was good-

since it RAINED all day.

We were not able to dig for coin letters

in the sandbox

or

play 4-square Shamrock,

but we did a couple of crafts

and ate a lot of green treats.

*ANOTHER pipe burst at our house

This makes the THIRD pipe to have burst

during this Winter.

Thankfully,

two were in the garage and this one

was under the house.

No damage in doors.

And I want to give my HIGHEST praise

to the employees of Home Depot.

They helped me hunt down what we needed

for a temporary fix-

even if it took 5 of them

walking through several departments.

They were so helpful

to this plumping challenged girl!

*Spent several hours planning and organizing

the 4th and 5th grade trip to

SuperStart!

***

Highlights from March 21st-27th include:

*Shopping for SuperStart with my girls

They were quite comical while we were in Kroger.

Jungle Girl kept tying up Baby Girl

in her jacket and hauling her around the store

like a servant.

Cracking-me-up!

*SuperStart!!!!!!!

We have taken our 4th and 5th grade

kiddos to this event every year for the past 

six(?) years.

(You can click HERE for some tips

I have about traveling with tweens

from the trip.)

The slideshow above shows you all the fun we had-

and why I am WIPED OUT this week.

Really-

we have done the bare minimum

with school and housework.

Well,

it could also be because...

*Baby Girl acquired Strep Throat

and I am pretty sure my body

is trying hard to fight something off too

These are weeks I am so glad we homeschool.

We will make up the work load later.

For now-

we rest...
