March was a fun month. We had some super sunny days and some really good snowy days. We had some really busy days with lessons and practices and school and we also had a week of spring break.
Zane is loving school and is meeting some really great friends there. He loves drawing and coloring and writing and is also up to #35 on his favorite chapter books series, Magic Tree House. He has also been learning how to play baseball with his Dad, and soccer too. He and Emmy love playing in the backyard. He seems so old - just lost his second tooth. Wow! Emmy also loves her school and friends and has really stepped up and been a big helper lately. Her and Zane have started doing chores to earn money and she loves doing things around the house (usually!) She is so funny and makes us laugh all day long. She is also emotional and reacts big to things which keeps us on our feet. And she is so sweet to Smith and Molly. Smith has been either extremely loving and sweet or extremely upset and frustrated. He is officially the tantrum king of the family. I think his anger fits top anything that Zane and Emmy ever did! He hits Zane and Emmy (and instantly says sorry). He fights me when I put him in his carseat, he won't hold my hand in the street, he doesn't want help with anything, he won't let me hold him when he gets hurt, etc. He is so independent and strong willed! But on the other hand, he is irresistibly cute. He is starting to copy everything we say and talking a lot on his own. He can keep up better with the big kids and loves playing with them. He could be outside all day long.
Here are some pictures from our month...
Smith wants to swing on the big swing of course and it makes me nervous the whole time. He just thinks he is SO big.
Just cute pics of this little dude. He knows most of his body parts now when we ask - so he's pointing to his tummy and head...
This is how Smith tries to drink out of a cup - yep, we have some work to do.
Zane and Smith are beyond sweet with each other. They crack each other up, spend awesome time together, read together and love being together. Smith will just walk up to Zane with something and ask him to play. Zane is UNBELIEVABLY patient and kind to Smith. He helps him on playplaces instead of playing by himself, he shows him how to do puzzles and toys, he plays catch outside, etc. They just have a super special relationship. Oh I love it.

I found them reading this day while we were trying to get ready to leave.
During Spring Break, with some extra time we had at home, I decided to try some bins filled with beans and also some filled with rice.
The beans were fun to scoop and pour and throw (for Smith).
Then, the big kids and I dyed some rice with koolaid and vinegar. We let it try for an entire day before getting it in the bin to play.
After all the playing...
For Emmy's and my date, we ran a couple of errands together and then got frozen yogurt. You can always count on sweets to make this girl happy!

I barely took any pictures on St. Patrick's Day, but this is the kids making their leprechaun traps. We also had lot's of fun green foods for breakfast.
Oh I love these goggles...
Zane was learning to dive.
Zane was tickling Smith - Smith will sit on the couch for about 2 minutes to watch TV and then starts getting bored. So Zane was playing with him. :)
Boxes are so much fun - coloring, poking, hiding, driving, etc. etc.
We went out for frozen yogurt to celebrate...
