March

 Whoops!  And just like that March is almost over!  We were busy and the month flew by.  Here are some of our highlights…

Sean dressed up as The Cat in the Hat to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday.  I have to say he made a pretty cute Cat in the Hat, especially since the costume was impromptu and last minute.  It was Sean’s idea to double layer the black and white shirt and cut a hole in the middle.  That kid has some good ideas!

Alex made it to several Bucks games this month, thanks to Uncle Rob sharing his extra tickets.  That kid could go to a game every night and it wouldn’t ever get old.  So I took Alex on a Friday night a couple weeks ago.  Since it wasn’t a school night, we stayed for the whole game and took our time leaving.  On the way out, we noticed a small crowd gathering by the player’s parking lot and a row of fancy cars getting ready to drive away.  So we waited around to see what the excitement was all about.

It was neat to see the Bucks players walk to their cars and drive away.  Some waved at us as they drove off.  Then Giannis came walking out from the arena to his car.  As he pulls out of the parking lot, he waves us over to his car window.  We run over there and Alex is right beside him.  At this point, my camera battery has died and my phone has no more storage left so I’m unable to take pictures or video.  More devastating, we have nothing for Giannis to sign because we hadn’t planned to see him.  So I give Alex my pink backpack and tell him to borrow a sharpie.  Well the backpack gets caught on the security guard’s walkie talkie and by the time he jiggles it free, Giannis was done signing autographs and drove away.  It was a long, tearful walk back to our car but a memorable night none the less. 

Cheering on the Bucks with my boy :)

Let's go Bucks!

Up close with Bango!

St. Patrick's Day is always so much fun.  Sean made some really cool Leprechaun traps at home and at school.  We thought we'd catch him this year but no such luck.  Lenny the Leprechaun left a rainbow trail of candy gummies and a block of gold for Alex and Sean.  We'll try again next year!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Yummy Shamrock Shakes!!!

The trap is set!  This way to GOLD....

Sean's digging out his gold from the Leprechaun!  So cool :)

Sean had a fun time last weekend at Pump It Up for Elsie's birthday with his other classmates.  He is always so full of energy!!!  He's really starting to look and act older these days.  It's hard to believe he's almost done with Kindergarten.  Sean is working so hard this year at school and I'm so proud of him.  He's starting to read and his sight words are coming along :)  His teacher always has nice things to say about him!  Keep up the good work, Seanie!!! 

The crazy 5K bunch!

Sean and his friend, Tyler :)

 Alex had to read a chapter book and create a 3D model as part of his book report.  He worked hard on it and I think he did a fantastic job.  He picked a book about baseball, of course :)  But it had a lot more meaning and depth than just baseball so I think Alex learned a lot by having to explain his project to his class and write out a story map of the important events in the book.  Great job, Alex!

 Grandma & Grandpa Michna went to Spring Training in Arizona a few weeks ago and had a great time.  They brought Alex & Sean back a baseball filled with signatures from the Brewers and some other cool things.  They were two very happy boys!!!  Thanks for thinking of us!

Autographed baseballs and matching hats!

Spring is finally here!  Can it warm up now?!!

A little friendly game of family basketball :)
