Late Winter Fun

Maren:
March is here already and we have officially reached the half way point of my first school year.  We celebrated the 100th day of school by having a fun party.  We got to dress up in our best old people costumes.  Nonna took me to goodwill where I got to pick out a nice dress that was sure to make my G.G proud.  I topped it off with one of G.G.'s necklaces and sweaters!  Mommy sprayed my hair white and wrapped it in a cute little bun.  The 100th day of school also happened to fall on Dr. Suess' birthday so we finished the day off with another celebration.  Our school had a great party complete with a green eggs and ham dinner.  
 A few days later a big late winter storm blew in and brought with it some nice snow.  Luckily, it dumped a large amount of snow on a Thursday night and we had a snow day on Friday.  Daddy was working but mommy dressed us in our winter clothes and we headed up the hill for some good sledding.  It was a great morning of laughter and snow ball fights finished by a warm fire, soup and grilled cheese sandwiches once we were home. 
Fitting of late winter early spring, just a few days after our big snow storm we had beautiful sunshine days and warm weather. My teacher, Mrs. Safko, does a great job at getting us outside so we can get our wiggles out.  In class we each got to color our very own butterfly.  After we colored them, we cut them out, glued them to sticks, and then glued pretty colored tissue paper on.  We went for long "butterfly walks" around town waving our butterflies through the air and waving at everyone else that passed by. 

Maddox: 
Mommy signed me up for swim lessons again this month and even though I'm not super stoked about going, I am progressing in my skills.  I can float on my back now and I no longer get as scared about it.  Miss Nicole, my teacher, says I am doing a really good job.
The last few weeks we have been bringing Bella home with us after swim so Miss Heather can volunteer in Jace's kindergarten class.   I really love having her over and we play so well together.  Mommy is just amazed that she can be there for hours and we play with no fighting.  We share really great and go back and forth with what/how we play.  One minute we will do what I like... cars, trucks, and building stuff and then the next we will do something that Bella likes... playing mommy and daddy.  Mommy gets a real kick out of watching us play.
