A Marvelous March

We have had a great March though I have been frustrated with how the new blogger is set up so everything  is all messed up, and messed up on my page but this will have to do until I figure it out. 


Jazz Read-a-thon
Every year our school is involved with the Jazz Read-a-thon where the student body has to read so many minutes to win a Jazz Player with the motive to improve  reading skills.  Since it was held during the afternoon session I brought Taytum with me.  She loved all the attention she got from my students.

 
Principal Phil Armstrong introducing Jazz Player, Gordon Hayward.  I've worked with Mr. Armstrong for 9 years and he has finally decided to retire this year, he's been great to work under and we will miss him.  I'm curious to see as to what next year will bring with a new principal.

 Gordon Hayward reading to the student body.

The top reader for each grade level got to throw a pie in their teachers face, I've alluded this for 9 years but this happened to be my year.  Abi was the lucky winner and without hesitation threw the pie into my face. My co-worker was holding Taytum and was clapping and happy until the pie hit my face then she freaked out but by the end of the day I convinced her it was ok and that it was funny.

Gender Reveal Party

I thought it would be fun this time around to have a gender reveal party.  I made some invitations and invited family over for dessert.  They were instructed to wear pink for a baby girl or blue for a baby boy.

Katie and Kiddos

Us - even though we already knew the gender we wore the color we had thought all along so you will have to keep reading to see if we were right or wrong.

Team Pink
From the very beginning when we asked Taytum if the baby was a sister or brother she would always say sister so with the others she is supporting the Pink Team.

Team Blue

As you can see Team Blue was highly represented.

After pictures were taken everyone was able to choose a cupcake or cake ball where upon biting the color "pink" or "blue" was hidden inside.

 Taytum doesn't care what color is inside as long as she can eat it.

And if you can't tell what color that is....ITS PINK.  We are excited to welcome another little girl into the Paxman household.  She is due the end of July.  I'm so happy that everything has gone well with this pregnancy thus far and I'm hoping that she and Taytum can be the best of friends.

ST. PATRICKS DAY!

 Waiting to go see if they caught Leonard the Leprechaun and see if had any gold behind.

Though Leonard was not caught this year he did leave her a note, coins,chocolate, and chalk.
 Playing with her new set of chalk.  I love this little one.

Playing ball outside with grandpa.

 Katie brought a Leprechaun game for the kids to play.

After all the excitement, I would say it is nap time.

RANDOM MARCH PICS

Playing with my ski mask and stopping to pose

One day she was playing in her room and she had found all the squirt bottle and hair brush and was giving her horsey a makeover.  She did this for a long time.  Hopefully the horse will still have hair when she's done.

This is when she finally realized I was in the room watching her.

Just crusing around the house having fun.

Many days after the gender reveal party she was still playing with the balloons.
