Little Bit of Lamb Little Bit of Lion

We've had some wonderful March days with abundant sunshine that reminds us Spring is coming.  And we had a delayed snow storm that caused 2 snow days for school.  Luckily our girlies were already planned on being off due to a workshop day

 Swingin'...Mr. Mason is likely going to be a handful on the patio this summer.  This warmer weather makes me want to ensure that Little Man knows how to walk so he doesn't have to crawl through Spring puddles and mud.

 Little reminders that I do indeed have a little boy.  Trucks at my feet while prepping dinner

 Daddy had a work trip so it was to swimming lessons solo I went.  I walked about yet again, a sweaty mess...so much work with all 4

Mason's 1st ride in the Big Dawg Cart at Target.  I keep him in his baby seat as long as possible, keeps him contained and away from germs.  It was just time.  Emma couldn't have been more excited.  She's been dreaming of the day she and her Mase Dawg got to ride in a Big Dawg

 Trying to take Calvin for a walk, but he wasn't havin it

 It was Libby's turn for her monthly kid date.  She SO enjoyed the Living Stations of the cross on Ash Wednesday and has been asking to go back to Stations.  We were able to sneak out on a Friday after dinner, with a quick stop at Target to pick up her very own journal to begin writing a book with Sally.

 Love her gentle soul!

 and then they spent the entire next day (minus 3 hours outside because it almost got to 50) pretending they were famous authors and writing their books

 They created these all on their own.  These are pieces of Sally's

 Reid is a big fan of the MN Wild.  A while back I asked my friend who has season tickets, if they ever have any they can't attend we'd be happy to buy the tickets from them.  They had a pair for a Sunday game against the Red Wings.  I decided to get it for Reid as an early birthday present.  Thank you to Joey and Emily for letting me borrow a jersey.  Reid of course already has his own.

 We had a blast and great seats!  and they won 4-1!!

 Our super special Cardinal hanging on the feeder all day, which just happened to be a very important day for Daddy at work. More on that when I'm allowed ;)

 That same very important day meant Daddy might not make it home in time for one parent to go to swimming so I planned ahead...crowd control

 and then Daddy made it to swimming and took 3/4 of our children home with him.  It was glorious to sit peacefully watching Emma.

She was excited to finally jump in standing up!

Proud Girl!

 and then a fun little flash back.  My how time flies

Happy 4th week of Lent!
