A little barter and some catchup.....

Sunday Maggie wanted to make cookies for a couple of our neighbors. (We've purchased a shamrock cookie cutter since the last episode.) She made some for the high school boy down the road who played at state basketball and she made some for Ned and & Lorri, who live right next door. Ned and Lorri's were just a ploy to get more deer sticks......
....and it worked. She'd eaten 2 of them before she got back to our house and she was SUPER excited that Lorri had given her a giant deer summer sausage. We may have to teach the kid to hunt, in order to feed her habit :)

Now for a little blog catch up....last weekend was State Basketball. The Panthers had an unbelievable win in their first game (triple overtime). It was so fun, we all left sore and hoarse from cheering so hard. Unfortunately they last the next 2 games, it was a great season and we can't wait to do it all again next year!


 One day last week Lauren got to come play. The girls had a fun day. Despite our enormous play room, their favorite place to play was under my desk??? goofy girls!
Friday while we waited for our second State Bball game, we had the best surprise!! Halie and Connor had come to Omaha for a visit. Leslie, Dennis and I took the kids to the zoo. It was so good to see them. It was a little windy and chilly but we had a great time. The girls were so happy to have H & C here.
Our 4 little monkeys! I wish Elsie had felt better so we could have had the 5th monkey too!

Gracie was done!
 A few other recent pictures.....
Maggie had taken a bit of a break from headstands....the break seems to be over!

Maggie and Grandma reviewing her report card.....she did AWESOME and was very proud to share it.

If the workers don't get busy soon I think maybe Maggie and Grandpa will finish digging the pool themselves!


Gracie room has been half done for a year. Last week I finally got some things hung on the wall and now I think it really is done. I still haven't decided for sure about the girl on the wall....it might be a little scary, but Gracie seems to like it, so for now it'll stay.
HAPPY ST PATTY's day from all the O'Robinson girls!


I've spent the last 2 days cleaning and reorganizing the garage. Gracie must be tired of "helping" me. Today she took the Gator and said she was going to Omaha.....then she came running back and asked me to teach her how to turn right :)
