Pixi's third birthday party!

   Pixi's third birthday party was lots of fun, and I think Pixi enjoyed it more than anyone. We went to a friends house, and her friend Orla, has her own room that is literally filled with stuffed animals and baby dolls, she also has a play kitchen- almost every toy a three-year-old could wish for! Pixi also loved it when we sang Happy Birthday to her, and the cake was Sooooo good! She also got some good presents. Aunt krista made her two skirts, Lori got her two books, and Grammy got her a cookie making kit, and some plastic rings, bracelets, and necklaces. we stayed for a long time until after dark, and almost the entire time she was running and screaming, and playing babies with Orla. I think that it was a great party.      

Spring is just around the corner!

  I love spring, it is so pretty and sunny, when new lives are being born, of people, animals, and plants.
Spring is also when my birthday is! Easter is also in spring and Easter is also one of my favorite holidays. Only 31 days! Spring also has a smell, like winter has a crisp cold smell, and summer has that hot sweet smell, and fall smells like leaves, pumpkins and has that cool magical smell, spring smells like flowers and fresh air, if you climb up a tree and take a big breath of air, you can smell the most beautiful smells I can not describe. Spring is also so green, (green is one of my favorite colors.) Sometimes it makes me feel as if I were in a fairy tail.

       

            Here is an excerpt from "The Late Wisconsin Spring" By: John Koethe

             
              Snow melts into the earth and a gentle breeze loosens the stale leaves leftover from autumn.
            The sky shakes itself out and the invisible birds winter puts away somewhere to return.
             The air relaxes.
                                                    
               Now the clouds are lighter the branches frosted green, and suddenly the season that had
               seemed so tentative before, becomes immediate, so clear the heart breaks and the vibrant  
                air is laced with crystal wires.


               Here at the heart of spring-all year long these feelings alternately wither and bloom.
             
              Gesters made up of trees and clouds and air.

Skating!

  Every month on a tuesday, we go skating. It is lots of fun. We usually skate for about 3-4 hours.
The last time we went skating, my friend Kearra went to. It was lot's of fun! We played tag rollerskating with some other kids, and skated for a long time. It's so fun, even to skate by myself, I'v gotten pretty good, because we have been skating for at least two years now. They also have a game place up by the front of the rollerskating rink, and if you win one of the games you get tickets, and you can go up to the front and trade them in for prizes. Last time we went, I got Pixi a little plastic doll, and myself two little Japanese erasers shaped like cupcakes, they're really cool (I'm collecting them.) They also have a big inflatable thing with a slide, called, "a bouncy house" which is a dollar, and Pixi always goes in that while we skate. After we go skating, we usually go the Whole Foods and get an Odwalla juice, and sometimes a bagel. By the time we get home, it's time for dinner, and we have to wait another month for skating again. :)
