New adventures in life

I realized that I have failed to post about the fact A was accepted into the local charter school. Not quite in the ways we were hoping for, but we have our foot in the door.

A will be in a 1/2 day kinder class at the new campus that they are opening next year. It is going to be much farther away for us to drive her every day. Instead of right down the road we have to travel about 15-20 min away. But once again our foot is in the door.

They are going to keep her in the lottery for any places that may open up at the campus down the road, so there is a slim possibility we will get her into that one some time this year.

St. Patty's day 2011

I'm not that crafty or good at coming up with ideas for fun stuff to do for holidays, but I did decide to do something fun for our Dinner for St. Patty's day this year. I have to admit, I have never tried corned beef and cabbage for a meal, but something about it just sounds a bit nasty to me (especially with being pregnant right now). So instead we had a yummy dinner of ...

Cabbage soup

Green Rolls

And (not pictured) pistachio pudding.

As usual the kids refused to eat the soup, but they loved the rolls. A was with me while I was making the rolls and she was amazed that they were green. She started talking about the green eggs and milk that I did last year... I should mention that I didn't to them this year because she burst into tears when she saw that the milk and eggs were not the normal colors when I made them last year, and then flat out refused to eat them.

So that was pretty much the extent of our holiday, besides painting toe nails green (for A and I) and wearing green on our clothes, not that the kids really understood that part.

Who knows, maybe next year with A in school it will be a bit more exciting and we can get into it a bit more.
