At school this week, the 2nd graders story was about cowboys. So today the 2nd graders were allowed to dress up as cowboys and cowgirls. Rachel was excited about getting to dress up and wear her black & pink cowboy boots. Here are pictures from this morning before school.
On Tuesday afternoon I took the girls to "help" Papaw plant his garden. He had saved two rows for them to plant. They always like to help him in the garden. Here are some pictures of their gardening adventure!

Me! I felt pretty bad over the week-end and stayed in bed pretty much from 8:30 Saturday evening until 11:00 Monday! I'm feeling better, but my cough has gotten worse and I've still got a lot of congestion. I went to the doctor this morning, and she thinks I have some allergies and needed an inhaler for my cough/breathing. So I got a prescription allergy medicine, a prescription cough medicine, and an inhaler! So there are three of us here in our household with inhalers now! Hopefully, I'll just need this for a day or two.
Rachel and Katelyn have decided to take a 5-week musical theatre class! When Rachel heard about it she was all excited. Katelyn wasn't so sure - she doesn't like to be the center of attention. However, when she found out her best bud Kylee was taking the class she decided she wanted to take it to. It's just once a week for 5 weeks, but it's supposed to be an introduction to singing, acting, and dancing. Saturday was their first class and they LOVED it!!! There were only 5 people in the class - Katelyn and her friend Kylee, Rachel and her friend Catherine, and another little girl. We also found out that next time Catherine's little sister, Virginia, is going to be in the class. She's not technically old enough, but since there's space and since she acts like she's old enough the teacher said it would be fine! That'll be even more fun with her in the class!!! At the end of the 5 weeks, the kids will do a little "performance" of what they've been working on. Such fun!!!
This afternoon Rachel & I both had eye appointments. She had been back in November because she didn't do so well at her 7 year check-up. At that time, the eye doctor said her vision was like 20/30, so no need to really worry about glasses at that point. He recommended we come back this summer, or earlier if she was having problems. Well the past couple of months she's started having more problems seeing things. Her teacher recently moved her to the front row so she could see better. Today was our check-up. Rachel's vision has changed. She is now 20/70 in one eye and 20/80 in the other eye. So, she tried on about 20 pairs of glasses. I let her pick them out because I want her to have some that she likes! She ended up picking out the exact pair I would've picked out for her! They are blue and it makes it blue eyes look even bluer! She is so excited about getting glasses!!!
I got new contacts and my right eye had changed a little. I can tell a difference with these new contacts! It had just been a little over a year since I had been, but I guess that's what happens when you get old!!!
Once Rachel gets her new glasses I'll be sure to post a picture!
My friend, Christy, has started her own business of making bows, headbands, hair clips, etc. She makes some really cute things! If you have a little girl in your life, you should check out her website at www.playprettyhairbobs.com! I also have a link to her on my sidebar.
Sunday morning the girls went downstairs to check out their Easter baskets. They know that Robert & I are the Easter bunny, but they still have fun with it.
