Ah, April...

The month of March gives us a chance to wind down from busy February and prepare for whirlwind April. Yesterday was Declan's last dance class for the year and Mika's last Sparks group for the year. Today is Mika's dress rehearsal for her Chinese Dance Club performances tomorrow. Thursday is Mika's last dance class for the year. Friday is Earth Day and we plan on going to a big park to see how many different types of birds we can find. Saturday is the last gymnastics class for this session. The rest of the weekend is Easter family get togethers. Next week we have dress rehearsals for Declan's recital and both of Mika's as well as the recitals themselves. The week after, Mika switches to Thursday night gymnastics instead of Saturdays. Declan will still be going Saturdays. Soon thereafter, soccer starts!

Mika and I had a great time at her Sparks year-end party on Friday - they are a great group of kids. We did some fantastic scrapbooking and they had a surprise craft: stuffing their own plush unicorns. I'm sure you can imagine the squeals of joy when the girls realized they were making stuffy unicorns.
