March is here. And soon my baby will be a 12th grader.\u00a0 She says “Mom can’t I just be the same age for a few years?”. If only.<\/p>\n

This past weekend was Mardi Gras. Always a FUN day even though it was FREEZING.\u00a0 The day before was in the 70’s.\u00a0 The day of the 30’s.\u00a0 Welcome to Alabama.<\/p>\n

She had an Elsa party in a nearby town and was unable to do her Princess thing in the Children’s parade.\u00a0 She was very sad.\u00a0 We did rush back (with her changing IN THE CAR under a blanket) to make it to the very end of the Dog Parade.\u00a0 Because it is always about the dogs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This dog cracked me up.<\/p>\n

She always gets so many beads. I think it’s cause she’s cute.\u00a0 I also got beamed in the face about 10 times. The worst time? The Breast Cancer Pink ladies.\u00a0 Lawd they can throw those beads.\u00a0 Next year, a helment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This week she read at 2 schools for Read Across America.\u00a0 Once as Rapunzel and once as Dr. Seuss.\u00a0 She loves reading to kids.<\/p>\n

Dr. Seuss<\/p>\n

Rapunzel<\/p>\n

Lately we have been trying to not run to the store 5 times a week. Seriously it’s ridiculous.\u00a0 We are keeping a list and trying to go 1-2 times.\u00a0 My car broke never to run again which caused enormous stress but my Dad bought us one! A car! A cool car!\u00a0 A red car! A car 10 years newer than mine was.\u00a0 We would never make it without the people in our lives.<\/p>\n

So quick update. Hope things are happy where you are.<\/p>\n

Homeschooling Rocks!
