First Half of March

Wow - this month has gone so fast! Here are a few snapshots of our month so far...

3-2-13 - a beautiful, beautiful day in Canon!

Charlie found a pretty uncomfortable looking spot to nap. Under the wooden chair? Huh. Whatever works! He had the humidifier going for a few weeks trying to get rid of a wet, phlegmy cough.

Post-nap outside play! Look at this little sweetie in the wagon!

That night, we had a family bonfire. The kids are in their light-weight jackets, and Matt and I sat by the fire in just our hoodies. Charlie had a s'more and Alanna settled for a marshmallow and graham cracker separately. Those two would have eaten the entire bag of mallows had we let them. (M and I gave up sweets for Lent.)

Roasting a marshmallow... ah! The smoke! :)

We had a fun family evening by the fire. Always nice to do something different, and we hadn't had a fire for a while!

3-3-13 Sunday after-church park time! We spent nearly 2 hours at the park after church just to get out and enjoy the weather. It was a little breezy, but not enough to chase us inside.

Charlie's playing defense! (Or something like that. :)

3-4-13

Good morning, Sunshine Girl! I usually open up Alanna's bedroom door and greet her with, "Good morning, Sunshine! How's my girl?" Charlie has since taken both phrases and shortened them to, "Good morning, Sunshine girl!" It's pretty sweet. Alanna's hair usually looks a fright in the morning due to rolling around in her blankets all night. It's getting super shaggy if it's not pulled back in the front, but I'm not cutting bangs, so she'll just have to power through. It's usually only like this for a few minutes until I get her changed, dressed, and hair done before breakfast.

Upside down pacifier? She still doesn't care one bit.

Ahh! Ponytail - much better!

3-11-13

Charlie taught Alanna to dump out all the Bristle Blocks and use the container as a helmet of sorts. She looks a bit alien-like - especially with the terrible lighting! It will be a fun game for them until the day that one of their heads gets stuck in the container. :S

Alanna managed to cut her chin on the edge of the bathtub when she misjudged how close she was to it and bent over to pick up a toy. She cried, and it bled for a bit, but she was fine. I just put this picture in to show her little Hello Kitty bandage!

3-13-13

Another gorgeous day meant a trip to the zoo! I thought it was so cute how both kids were standing the same way while checking out the zebras!

3-14-13

Little Sis! Those pigtails are irresistable!! Having a little snack on the front step after her nap.

Ohhh, for cute!

Playing around with the fun options on the camera. Again.

3-16-13

A quick snuggle with the kids. Seriously, quick. Probably 14 seconds worth.
