fun in the truck

Maisie and Duke loved to SQUISH into the truck together. They just don't quite fit though, and the door is always popped open just waiting for one of them to fall out.

And this photo makes me laugh! Somehow with the angle it makes Maddie look HUGE!

coloring

Look at him color. So careful and intentional. And getting close to a proper pencil grip, too!

flora

Braden brought me home flowers. They were so pretty!! With all that snow, a spot of spring was so refreshing.

The Duke vs. The Bath

Duke decided he hates bath. All because ONE TIME Daddy used the shower sprayer. That was all it took, and now the kid howls during bath time.

Maisie and I tried to cheer Duke up...

...but it didn't really work. 



Oh Duke! You're fine, you really are. I didn't even use the sprayer!

Field Trip

Maddie and Caleb got to go on a field trip with some homeschooling friends to a Tae Kwan Do center. 

I really thought Caleb would go for this and do well. 

He did like it and he did well. 

But it was Maddie who rocked it! Look at the girl kick!

And jump!

They both had a blast...and Tae Kwan Do is definitely something we're thinking about for lessons for them in the future. I really liked the aerobic activity, plus the agility aspect, and also the body control. It's all so good for them! (And us adults too! ;) And they really, really liked it.

More snow!!!

Yes, we got more snow in March! The kids of course had tons of fun playing in the snow...again!

Duke, wearing a new mis-matched snow outfit...
...and eating snow of course. His favorite snowy pastime. 

Snow angel!

Maisie making a snow angel...and sneezing HUGE. Perfect timing, Miss May. (Don't look too closely at the picture!)

Having fun!

My Maddie

Caleb being...Caleb

That's more like it, son ;)

Me

And of course we had to finish off with some hot chocolate!! If you've never sweetened yours with maple syrup, then you are missing out. Tuck that tip away for next year, folks.

Maisie in an heirloom outfit

I also put Maisie in one of Nana's outfits. However, Maisie was acting like a two-almost three year old and smiling like one. I was hard pressed to get these two shots!
