We went to Awanas on Wed. night this week for the dinner and awards. Sophia finished her first book a few weeks before the end of the year and worked on the extra credit pieces after that, missing only one because it was very difficult and she got sick. We’re so very proud of her. She loves TnT and Awanas and has such a great time every week.
She’s singing a Lazy Town song here. And its recorded on her vtech camera, so not super quality but still super cute.
Sophia’s school musical was last night at the new Prairie High School concert hall. It’s a really nice facility and it was much nicer than sitting on the bleacher in the elementary gym. I’ve got four videos of musical, so keep checking until you see all four. The program was given by the 3rd and 4th grade classes, around 160 kids is my guess. They did a great job and it was really cute. And short..which is why we love Prairie. They know how to do things right.
The story of the program is that kids are left home with their grandparents while they’re parents go to work. But the internet goes out and the power flickers and they have no internet, no wii, no xbox, no texting, no electronic toys, no technology. Ah the horror! A lesson in how to have a good time without all the technology I guess. It was pretty cute.

Thursday night (I think) we came down from tucking the girls into bed and found this.
This is Sophie’s chore chart. She’s made it for herself, I think to avoid whatever awful chores I might come up with for her this summer. Her chores include make bed, brush teeth, brush hair, be kind to dogs, be nice to sis, help family. All noble and wonderful goals 
Here’s the actual text:
READ THIS!
I made my own chore chart. If I do them all, I get two dollars. If I do some, I get one. If I don’t do any, I get zero. So, Deal?
P.S. I’m starting the chores next week, cause it’s in the midle of this week already. Deal? Deal!
She’s so funny and smart and creative and resourceful. I might let her try this out..because my printer hasn’t been working, so she may need to draw out her own chore charts anyway.
Happy Easter everyone!
Sophia is on spring break this week, so we took the week off also and headed to the Mall of America from Sunday through Tuesday for some shopping and indoor amusement park fun. There is a new album in the vacation album and several videos on the way.
Here’s some videos…
Oh, and here’s the sweet Coach purse I got at the outlet on Thursday. We got some great deals on work clothes for Brian and it was a beautiful day for it.
Lexi got a camera for Christmas. She loves it so very much, she filled it up in about two days. I’ve cleared off the pictures and here are some of the results. There are A LOT of pictures of the TV. There are a lot of blurry pictures of I don’t know what. Some of them turned out pretty well though. She set off making more videos and pictures today since I cleared it off, she loves it. Enjoy.
Alexis had her first school pictures taken in early November. I don’t know how I can possibly decide which sheets to keep.
“God is good. God is great. And we thank Him for our food. Amet.”
I cannot convince her so far that she should say AMEN and not AMET. She doesn’t believe me.
