Fun Fair

Glenn Stephens Elementary School Fun Fair -- GOOD TIMES. I still cannot believe all the hours and hours put in by our outstanding parent volunteers to put on "Hollywood Stephens" Fun Fair this year. Cake walk, games, a big bouncer, food, arts and crafts, music, decorations all over the school. It's our biggest fundraiser and the highlight of the year for the kids. Last year I ran the cake walk and it was a good amount of work. This year as PTO prez, I got to appreciate all the behind-the-scenes work. Wowzer! Shout out especially to Sarah and Shari, Queens of the Fun Fair. Yahoo!

Showtime!

Mary Jane was "on stage" two times in March -- for our library's annual Preschool Players show and for her preschool's family day show. Both times, her personality shined. In Preschool Players, she teamed up with her buddy Charlie to do some major silly acting. The other show featured her people art work on the big rainbow poster. Good shows, MJ!

California

What a fantastic trip to visit Uncle Jeff and Aunt Debbie. So many memorable moments, I wrote a book on it -- literally! Don't worry, it's primarily pictures, with just a tad of commentary. I'm working on publishing it at Blurb.com, so stay tuned!

Brownies in March

Fun times with Troop 549! We learned yoga AND hula at a yoga studio for our March meeting. Lots of relaxation, then swishing hips! After our lessons we delivered lots of GS cookies to a local community center/food pantry and got a tour of this brand-new facility. We're always proud to take our Brownies in public cuz they are just so well-mannered and ask great questions. The same night after our meeting, Stephens Elementary had a talent show. The Brownie troop got on stage and proudly sang the Brownie smile and friendship songs.

Happy Hearts Day

This is the first time in almost 10 years that I didn't get out my old valentines for display ... with my job and Disney, the timing was just not good. But still, the kids had fun, thanks to Nanna, making MANY homemade treasures for friends and family. MJ enjoyed passing out her cards at school and they both had school parties.

Brownies in February

I didn't get a very good picture, but for the record, our Brownie Troop earned their Puppets, Dolls and Plays badge by making yarn dolls and putting on some productions with them. Cookies coming in soon -- yummo!

Playdate

MJ has been begging me to have her preschool friend Lidia over to play. We found out that Lidia will be in KG with MJ at Stephen's next year, so this could be the beginning of a long, silly frienship!
