The competition this weekend is at the SMU campus, so there is a lot of room to run on a sunny day like today!



Kassidy came along for support





With their teacher Ms. Christina and fellow competition from the minis group Tennyson. The Pinkies received a platinum award and an award for musical excellence! Go Pinkies ( officially our petite PACE team, but the principal called them the Pinkies right from the beginning)!!!

Pine Cove Retreat

The 4th and 5th grade boys and girl went off to Pine Cove retreat for the weekend tonight. Lukas was very excited to go. He is the first one to go. Katharine never got to go. Maybe a new tradition for the DOESCHER kids?

Dance

I found these quotes today, and I thought they are a very good do scripting of Katharine.

"Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world."
Voltaire

"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once."
Friedrich Nietzsche



She also competed her solo for the first time today and did a fabulous job. Here she is with her friend and fellow competitor Alisabella:

Hot Cross Buns and Cookies

We spend the better part of the day making hot cross buns and Easter cookies.




These buns are delicious!




I adapted my mom's cookie recipe and made it gluten free.

Lennon really loves sprinkles!
