Somehow I managed to miss a bunch of things we did in March. These are all pre-Holden so I was still pregnant. We did a day at the DC zoo and temple. Lots of snow days (too many in fact). Preschool time with mom. A UVA lacrosse game. A Marde Gras party. A bowling birthday party. I craved donuts like crazy while pregnant. The kids are silly. And St. Patricks Day.
 |
| Getting slippers from Grandma Alice in the mail. |
 |
| A delicious way to learn with M&Ms. |
 |
| Getting muddy. |
 |
| This boy and his cat... |
 |
| This winter was long. One of the worst winters they have had in like ten years. Still more mild in Utah but nothing nearly as lovely as our first year here. Finally enjoying some sun and Frisbee. |
 |
| I have always generally disliked donuts. Until I became pregnant with Holden. I craved them non stop and would go to great depths to get some or a specific flavor. I ended up buying a donut maker and making so many donuts... These are sour cream donuts at Kroger, Logan's favorite. I grew to love them too. |
 |
| Donuts I made with my maker. |
 |
| Jack got way into coloring which makes me happy because I love to color too. A little marker on the face here... |
 |
| Char planking and doing some ipad time. |
 |
| Octo-dog, cucumbers, grapes and cheese. Jack's favorite lunch. |
 |
| Date night bowling with friends. It was glow in the dark. |
 |
| The kids locking Craigory in the closet. |
 |
| Our first lacrosse game! So fun. The field was right by our house and we could always hear games going on. We finally made it to one. Jack checking it out with his binoculars. |
 |
| We went with Steve and Jenni. |
 |
| Char went through a phase that she had to wear a dress to bed every night. No matter what. |
 |
| Logan was kind to let me sleep in. I walked in to find the kids eating popcorn for breakfast. This is why dads are always loved the most. |
 |
| Logan got called to be in the ward choir. You heard me correctly. And he had choir practice before church on Sundays. We only had one car and since church was about 20 minutes away, we would just tag along until church started. An industrial site was nearby and we always seemed to end up there. Nothing like playing in junk in your Sunday best. |
 |
| They loved to build towers with my cans. |
 |
| Playing letter games. |
 |
| Learning colors. |
 |
| Another snow day. |
 |
| The Hardings threw another miraculous Mardi Gras party. |
 |
| Her favorite activity. Water. |
 |
| It was hard for me to not buy cloths so I could be prepared for the baby. Since we didn't know the gender I tried to get a few things that were gender neutral. For the most part I did good, but deep down I knew it was a boy and couldn't help myself. |
 |
| Jack completed gymnastics as well as Addie and Liam. Their teacher was way sweet and even let Noah and Char pretend they passed too. |
 |
| Jack got his kindergarten shots (they did them way early) and I told him he could get ice cream if he was brave. He shocked me and all the nurses by not even blinking when he got them done. He jumped up to the table and just waited till they were done. Brave little boy. |
 |
| We went to the DC zoo and temple. |
 |
| This pink bird was funny. It also tried to eat Charlotte's bow. |
 |
| A day at the park. |
 |
| Pretending to roast marshmallows. |
 |
| Building a hut with dad. |
 |
| Painting in the tub. |
 |
| Green eggs and ham for St. Patricks day. |
 |
| Reading green eggs and ham. |
 |
| St.Patrick's preschool. |
 |
| St pattys jello jigglers. |
 |
| She found these Harry Potter glasses and wouldn't take them off. |
 |
| Jack and his salamander buddies. |
 |
| Snuggle time with Craigory. |
 |
| Taking a shark for a walk. |
 |
| We had a RELLS dinner (mormon law student families) on campus and one of the kids pulled the fire alarm. We all had to evacuate the building and the police came. A little boys dream. |
