Making the Most of March

After the beautiful 60+ degree weather we had one week ago, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring!  It seems to be delayed a bit after another snowfall this weekend.  The kids don't seem to mind as much as Aron and I.  They enjoyed another day of playing in the snow and found plenty of fun things to keep them busy in the house.  Only two more weeks until Easter and spring vacation so we will keep our fingers crossed for rising temperatures in Michigan.  If not, we will have fun hunting for eggs in the snow!
Mac turned 9-years-old on March 6th.  We spoiled him with extra treats and a new squeaky toy.  He greets us at the door almost everyday with the new toy in his mouth.
Russell and I have had Monopoly spread out on the family room floor for almost a week.  Every time he earns money, he sings a little tune of "I am a billionaire!"
Sloane picked out Shrinkie Dinks on our last visit to the craft store.  She enjoyed watching them change shape in the oven.
Russell's bedroom has turned into a WWII battle zone.  I LOVE his imagination!
Aron took Russell to Bass Pro for a visit and it looks like a young Davey Crockett got a BIG one!
Russell has taken to texting Aron from my phone.  He is so serious when typing his messages.

Shamrockin Showcase!

Today was Sloane's day to show off for us at her gymnastics showcase.  She was so excited for us to watch and cheer for her as she tumbled, twirled, and hopped.  She even insisted that I paint her finger and toe nails prior to her performance.  Once the crowd was seated however, she became nervous and chewed her nail polish right off!  You would have never known she was nervous as she completed her routine with a full grin.  What a brave girl!
Afterward, we were able to take some photos.  Sloane loves twirling on the bar.

Balance beam fun!

Ta Da!
