Oh, How I Love March!

I love March. 

And not just because it is my birthday month.

I love that we see kites at least once a week at the park.

I love that the weather is getting warmer.

I LOVE seeing everything grow...like our trees in the front yard. 

I love opening Big Sis' window every morning to see more green leaves on the branches.

And the wild flowers growing on the side of the road...everywhere. 

But most of all I love seeing my sweet family experiencing new wonders all the time.

The day before my birthday my cousin came to see us while on her music tour! We were so excited to see her...it had been more than 6 years.

This girlie loves to dress up and spin!

And we cut Big Sis' hair!

Big Sis and Handsome went to their first Daddy-Daughter Dance at our church last weekend. Big Sis was so excited. She couldn't decide what to wear (for reals people, we went back and forth between 3 different dresses and 2 different skirts! I finally had to remind her she just needed to get something on so she could GO!)

Baby Beluga and I worked on the cylinders.

Then Big Sis and Handsome got home, way past bedtime and super happy. Big Sis got to take home a balloon, tried a root beer float, played with hula hoops and most importantly, got to dance/jump/run in circles for more than 2 hours!

 

 

And these days we are into hopscotch. We made about 5 different ones on our driveway this weekend.

March and Our Garden

Happy March! 

Getting St. Patrick's Day and Easter decorations out!

Things we like to do this month...

...Play in Aunt M's bed. 

They were in a cave, hiding from the crocodile storm.

 

...Garden! We planted our seeds and Handsome made a netting cover to protect our plants from birds and squirrels (and from cats who might get the wrong idea about what our garden box is.)

...Try on our swimsuits! Big Sis was SO excited and wore it pretty much the rest of the day. Can you tell she LOVES water and summer time? And it was Big Sis' idea to get Little Sis in her swimsuit too. Same-same!

...Hanging out with Dad on a Saturday morning. We love the weekends around here. Especially Saturdays with our Dad.

...Getting into EVERYTHING that is at her level. Little Sis loves pulling stuff off of the bottom shelves and inspecting the cart and toy stroller wheels. 

...Helping Aunt M in the kitchen. I LOVE Big Sis's new summer wardrobe (Thanks Aunt C and Cousin C!) I seriously wish I fit into the clothes from Children's Place.

...Trying our hand at cooking. 

Two little chefs making veggie soup.

...Playing outside. Boy we are excited for this lovely weather, now we just need to get rid of some colds so we can truly enjoy it.

...Gardening! I know I already mentioned it but it's part of our family now! Big Sis and Handsome take turns with the watering can.

We've got spinach,

marigolds,

Florida 91 tomatoes (bought these as starters),

zucchini,

and green beans.

Big Sis' zinnias. They are going to be pink and she picked them out on her own at the store.

Our most recent backyard visitor that Handsome caught and disposed of. We don't really like snakes hanging out in our backyard. Sorry if anyone out there loves them. Anyone know what to look for to identify if a snake is poisonous or not?
