On Sunday afternoon we celebrated Family ‘s Day with my grandpa, Sandy, my auntie Gail and my uncle Wayne. We had a great special meal together with shrimp pasta, garlic bread and salads and for dessert we had berry crisp. Then we played Banana Grams together for our Family’s Day activity!

On Monday, which was Family Day, my mom and I made diamond art bookmarks for Maryann and Theresa for their birthdays with some body wash berry blossom from Bath and body works! Theresa got the pink bookmark and Maryann got the blue bookmark. Their birthdays were in the same month in February! February 1st was Maryann’s birthday and then February 15th was Theresa ‘s birthday! After I got home my friend Karlina sent me a picture of her twin daughters Anna – Marie and Beryllia in their matching Minnie Mouse shirts and pants that I brought them for their birthday present! They even had some cute red bows in their hair!

We celebrated Valentine’s Day almost a week later with birthday bash on Friday afternoon with dancing, and I handed out valentines cards to every team in the association and it was my first time ever trying to remember each person in each group home! It was sure a test of my knowledge of remembering names and what teams they were at! I had a strawberry cheesecake and ice tea! I did do some dancing as well!

On Saturday afternoon Maryann and I went to celebrate Theresa’s birthday and Maryann’s birthday! , I found some colourful flowers and a balloon with a butterfly on it for Theresa from Safeway ! They both liked their homemade bookmarks and the body wash for their birthday present! Maryann actually did put her bookmark on her car mirror for decoration!

On Tuesday afternoon we started school presentations at OLMP!

On Friday evening we decorated wooden boxes with paint, squares of different colours of scrapbook papers to decorate them with at Rose Club! My box, I painted red and then I painted with Mod Podge to make the pieces of paper stick!

On Monday afternoon I had a school presentation at Sifton school in Camrose!

On Saturday afternoon I got some St. Patrick day nails! Then in the evening we went to a meeting where we discussed and voted events for the April calendar for Rose club and then played a couple rounds of Bingo.

On Friday afternoon was the 29 th annual Bowl- a – Thon for Centra Cam! Everyone got a T- shirt, this year it said “believing in magic for 29 years!” and had bowling ball, bowling pins and said strike with little stars around it on the T- shirt! We played two games of bowling in the afternoon and we raised$ 30,000! The money is going toward transportation expenses! It was a great afternoon!

On Saturday evening we celebrated Sandy, Joel and Ashley birthdays together as their birthdays were all in March. Sandy’s birthday was the second, Joel’s birthday was the nineteenth and Ashley’s birthday was the twenty eighth. Unfortunately, I was just getting over being sick, so I wasn’t able to eat, but they had Teresa’s recipe which was Thai chicken on coconut rice with Thai salad and peanut sauce! For birthday cakes there was mini egg cheesecake and peppermint chocolate mousse cake! After supper and desserts, we played around of Play Nine, and opened birthday cards and birthday present! I brought Sandy a watercolour colouring book and I coloured each one of them a birthday card! Mom also made chocolate cupcakes from the leftover cake batter so everyone went home with some chocolate cupcakes!

On Sunday afternoon we coloured and mom did some zentangle and had leftovers!

On St. Patrick’s day, I wore a green sweater and a green t-shirt and I had green finger nails so I didn’t get pinched! We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day some more on Friday afternoon with some irish and country songs and dancing at birthday bash . I wore a green vest/ sweater so I didn’t have a chance to get pinched again. I found a blueberry cheesecake that was delicious from Safeway.

I had two school presentations in the last week of march that went really well. We went to OLMP on Tuesday morning and then we went to Sifton school on Wednesday morning!

On Friday evening we dyed boiled eggs with food colouring, vinegar water and paper towels and clothes pins with our friends from Rose Club . You wrapped the egg in the paper towels with the clothes pin and then put the food colouring over top which was in a spray bottle with water vinegar. Gloves were optional. I had a great time and It made me think of my childhood because almost every Easter we used to dye eggs.

On Saturday morning was the Special Olympics bowling tournament and year end wind up for the season. My bowling scores were 102, 108, and 111, which I got a second place ribbon for my first game, a third place ribbon for my second game and then I got a participation ribbon for my third game. We went to the Mirror Lake centre for dinner which was lasagna, salad and garlic bread, for dessert they had lemon or chocolate squares. We had the lemon squares which were delicious. I got a medal for participating. Jon Fernhout gave each of the athletes their medals for participating and then Brian Dumont was the DJ for the dance! It was a wonderful day to end off another wonderful season!
Come back for more spring experiences hopefully!
