March 2014

-->
March was a continuance of the Winter that would NEVER end!  Although, we must admit, we were sort of glad to celebrate each snow day as if it were our last; we were definitely getting ready to let go of the snow in favor of Spring buds
So, again, the snow gave us lots of opportunities to be together at home this month!  We shoveled and sledded.  We fed the birds.  We painted inside, AND OUT!!
It snowed on St. Patrick’s Day, which gave us lots of time to experiment with how many things we could make that were green (green eggs, green milk, green mac and cheese, kiwi, grapes, and avocado dip with broccoli, and rainbow-colored ice cubes for our water!)
We made birthday treats and cards for Alex and Emmie, whose birthdays were this month. And Ooooohhhhh, what a month for birthdays!  We celebrated birthdays for our friends from school, Sloane, Arya, and Vivienne at children’s gyms, with some fun “Frozen” and superhero themes.  And we made our very own special friends to take home with us with Emmie at Build-A-Bear for her birthday.  It was an exciting month, and now we wait for the last birthday in our class – OURS!!

And we enjoyed church on Saturdays, and swim classes on Saturdays, playing on the playground there when it was warm enough to.  We are getting really independent and more confident in the water; learning how to float, trying our faces in the water, jumping in to deeper water, practicing flutter kicks and scooping with our arms.  We even got to try a neat water train with our class by holding onto each other’s noodles and floating all the way into the deep end! 
That’s the story of our month!

Love,
Katharine and Christopher
