March Happenings

March was kind of a slow month for us--so we decided to make our own fun.  We did sidewalk chalk on the few "warmer" days that we had.  Bridger and Kennedy love putting on their capes and running around outside yelling "superman!" at the top of their lungs.  I also just have to say that Kennedy is in that "dress yourself-the more layers the better" stage of life.  It's usually very colorful :)


My mom made these capes for them a while ago and they get plenty of use!


Lately, Bridger's very favorite thing to draw is volcano's erupting or bomb's exploding....such a boy!





And on one cold day, they both really wanted to drive their cars outside in the dirt--but since we don't have a fence yet and it was freezing and there were tons of construction workers outside, I didn't think it was such a good idea.  They both cried and cried and cried until we came up with a compromise.  This was it.  Bridger was the engineer of the project, he told me he wanted parking lots and showed me where to put them.  He said he needed swimming pools and showed me where to put them.  It was quite the process.  In fact, it's still on our floor--it's been about 3 weeks :)





And then there was St. Patrick's Day.  This year, we decided to set a trap to see if we could catch that leprechaun (that is a hard word to spell!!!)  I know what you're thinking---a carrot?  well, you'd think we were trying to catch the easter bunny...it was all I had and all I could think of.  I would have done a green vegetable, but I thought a pile of spinach would be even more silly.



In the morning, the kids found the carrot gone and a pile of silver in it's place.  They wondered why the leprechaun didn't leave gold.  I figured it was because the leprechaun knew that gold candy's usually have nuts in them and that he knew this little boy and girl didn't like nuts...or something like that.  Whatever.

There was a beautiful sunrise that morning!  Oh, how I miss running--it's just not possible right now, but soon...very soon...


That leprechaun played all sorts of tricks on us!  He turned all the chairs upside down, hung toilet paper from the railings and taped socks to the ceiling.  Before Bridger fell asleep the night before, he wanted me to reassure him that the leprechaun wouldn't take any of his toys for a trick.  He was quite worried.  I told him that it would never happen :)





We wore our green clothes, ate green pancakes and of course, we finished off the day with corned beef and cabbage--one of Jeremy's favorite meals.  And surprisingly enough, it turned out to be one of Bridger's favorites!  Who knew??
