2017 Week 27 Letter Oo and St. Paddy's themes

It was a pretty quiet weekend for us for a change!

Maeve and Sorch went shopping for a prom dress for the latter in Rochester.
Yes! Finally Sorcha found one!
Beautiful!

We took Maeve as far as Maple Grove where she catches the bus the rest of the way to Moorhead. It's always sad for my hubby and me. We left a few dot rocks behind, that always makes me smile!  Check out instagram #foundrocksMN if you're interested in our social experiment.

Monday, late start snow day, ended with a lovely little popcorn party sponsored by the parent group, 

PLAY, at school. 

We came in 2nd place in the 

milk moola/box tops for education drive!
