March Madness

Yes I know it is a week into April already...

but here is a little about the Castletown goings on last month anyway.

Jessie, Caroline, Naomi and I were invited (along with hundreds of other BYU alumni)

to a BYU Theatre Ballet performance.  They asked everyone to dressed as princes or princesses and enjoy a meet and greet party with the dancers before the show.

Naomi was excited to find a dancer with the same costume.  She wasn't really trying to be red riding hood.  The cape just came in handy to cover the big slit we had to make in the back of the jumper so it would fit around Naomi. (The jumper was originally made to fit a 6 year old Jessie.)

Then we found a twin for Caroline (yes that was my prom dress )

Jessie was so excited to tell all the performers that she wants to go to BYU and study dance.  She was also showing off some of her ballet costume designs.  However we did not find a twin dancer for her.

So she settled for prince charming!

On the 14th (3.14) we celebrated Pi Day!!!!

The kids had fun handing out invitations and we had a spectacular turn out.  We had mini pie eating contests, (which Frogalee has the pictures of,)  read a book called "Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi," had a contest to see who could memorize the most digits of pi and played some awesome games.  Then we ate pie!!!!! Lots of pie!!!!!

The crowds were lining up before we even had all the pies out on the counter.

Jessie baked this apple crisp all by herself for a friend who needed to have a gluten free pie. 

Jessie's cheer team competed (and won their division) at the cactus jam festival.  Not only did their team win for their routine but they came home with the sportsmanship trophy as well. They did such a  good job!
