March Minutes

Gotta get a March post up before April!!  We've had some nice days sprinkled in over the past month.  It has given us a hope of the warmer weather to come.  It's so nice when the kids can go out for some driveway fun!
 They were playing Follow the Leader (if you couldn't tell). 

A few weeks ago, I got to attend Scott's field trip to a park to learn how maple syrup is made.  I told Jon that I'm glad I didn't have a quiz afterwards because despite a detailed tour and explanation, I was too cold to focus on the guide's words.  The third graders however didn't seem to mind the chilly morning or the MUD! 
Natalie dressed like American Girl Doll, Julie, for a special day at school.  Kate wanted to join in the fun too, of course!
Natalie's looking more grown up all the time.  Comments like this though scare me...

Natalie (frustrated):  Mommy, as soon as I move out of this house, I am gonna buy 3 pairs of high heels, 4 bottles of nail polish, 2 bottles of lipstick, and 10 pairs of earrings!
Scott had a big week last week.  He was in the spelling bee and the talent show!  We are proud of him, and he is relieved that both are behind him.  It seems that everyone who was in an elementary spelling bee has very vivid memories of it and forever remembers the word they went out on.  Mine, I hate to admit, was GHOST!  Scott will remember spelling NOTIFY when the announcer said NOTIFIED.  Ugh. 
Blurry picture below...I may have been shaking for him just a bit!:)
Natalie:  How can anyone look like their dad?  Since babies come out of moms, I get why they look like their moms, but how come some people look like their dads?  If you just kiss someone on the lips, that doesn't make you look like them.  I could kiss you on the lips, but that's not going to make you have a baby that looks like me. 

Me:  Well, it's more complicated than that.  The dads have more of a role.

Kate (very seriously):  Yeah, Daddy pays all of the money for us. 

 New blog material coming in two weeks...these furry friends may be a little jealous...
