Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day. Katie is now convinced of the existence of leprechauns! After school, whenever she couldn't find something she'd say, "It must be the leprechauns playing tricks on me!" She made up a song about leprechauns and sang it to me over and over and over. You get the picture.
August is participating in a children's theatre production of "Magic Theatre" which is a collection of silly and funny skits. He is supposed to dress up in colorful clothes (Punky Brewster-esque) and has a few more rehearsals before the April 8th performance.
We enjoyed attending the Mennonite Relief Sale (proceeds to Mennonite Central Committee) on the weekend with Bret's parents. It was the 50th anniversary of the Illinois sale. The auction of quilts, furniture, and a 1958 Chevy Truck was fun to watch. We bid on a few things but didn't end up buying anything substantial. Bret went early (5:30 am) to volunteer his time serving the pancake breakfast. The rest of us joined him at 9:30. We ate the pancake breakfast and bought a fresh strawberry pie. Later we met with Bret's cousin and his family (Dane and Lindy Sorenson, and Zoe and Moses). Together we went to a nearby Maple Farm and Nature Center. The kids learned about animals and plants, and played in a hands-on children's area. We saw first hand how maple sap is taken from the trees and becomes syrup. We also got to taste the syrup! Dane and Lindy had us over for supper in the evening. It was a great day!
