Random Spring Stuff

In Mrs. Dennis's class, each kid did an animal report. Sophie's school project was on Chimpanzees; she had to make her own poster, do her own research, and have a 3 minute presentation memorized to give to the visitors. She was awesome. And here's her crazy hair day, below. My best creation yet, I think!
 We had an 80's prom theme for the Activity Days Daddy Daughter Date. Here is Sophie and Gary doing an awkward date picture...
 ...and gorging on the chocolate fountain (thank you Saralyn!)...
 ...and eating dinner...

 ...and making Italian Sodas, our latest sweet treat streak in the Larsen Family.
 We played some minute to win it games, did a (clean) spin the bottle truth or dare game, and...
 ...had the girls and dads identify each other's feet from behind a blanket. Hilarious! Then of course we finished off with the traditional dance party to 80's tunes.

I have to say, I LOVE how easy it is to host parties in our barn. It is the best part of our current residence! We have a lot of fun out there!
Here's Spencer playing soccer with his buddies Ammon and Ben. They have a ball together! Spence gets all excited and jumps up and down, and prefers to slide onto the ground every time he kicks the ball for added effect. It's total mob ball at this age, but it's a blast to watch! Spence even did really well with scoring this year, at least one every game. One game he was on a roll and got 7 goals! Go Spen!
He also has a great time with his special buddy, Ben Goodnough. Here's them in the back seat of Dawn's car, totally delighted with jawbreakers smeared all over their faces. Boys are so weird! but I love them.
Maggie and her friend Mairin got to perform at their middle school, so they adapted their team number, Tricky, for two people. Maggie's the one with her hair pulled back. Everyone loved it!
