A Mild March!

What a month March has been!  We've lost most of our snow and had summer-like weather.  It's given us a chance to be outside more often-which is never a bad thing!Here's what we've been up to:
Tuesday, March 6th, we had Maggie, Alex and Parker all here for the day. Quinn was supposed to come for his first day but was home sick (poor little guy!).
I snapped a couple of pictures of Maggie as she was eating her afternoon snack.  I wish you could hear her.  She says, "Mmmmmm....mmmmmm...mmmmmm" as she eats.  It's so cute!
Maggie enjoys her bananas.
Mmmmmmm!
Maggie has also been standing on her own for longer periods of time now.  She is starting to take a step or two on her own now too!
Maggie stands on her own!
Parker wasn't here to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday, but she was happy to be able to color a hat of her own.
Parker colors her hat.
Snack time!
The warm weather has been rapidly melting the snow outside.  Parker enjoyed playing in some of it while waiting for her Mom.

Just don't eat it!
Wednesday, March 7th, we had Maggie, Livy and Alex here.  Livy played so nicely with Maggie that morning.  They were very cute together!
A happy Maggie!

Lots of laughter.
Adorable Livy!
Alex and Livy play together.
Later that afternoon, Alex and Livy had fun throwing the foam dice.

Livy wanted me to try.
Kicking the dice was also popular.
A great action shot!
Thursday, March 8th, we had Maggie and Alex here for the day with a special visit from Liam!  My goodness that Liam sure is a cutie!  Such a happy little guy!  I thought he might have a tough time being somewhere new, with someone unfamiliar.  Nope!  Not Liam!  He was such a good little boy!  It was fun to see Liam and Maggie together.  They both wanted each others toys!

A happy Liam!

What a cutie!

Alright, CUTE PHOTO ALERT!!!  Here is my favorite picture from that day:
How cute is that???

Friday, March 9th, we had Maggie and Parker here and Alex a little later on.  Shelby had no school that day so she was able to spend the day with us too!  She had a wonderful time playing with Parker and Maggie!

Later that afternoon, the children enjoyed some outside time playing in the snow.

Tuesday, March 13th, was Quinn's first official full day here!  Maggie, Parker and Alex were also here that day.  It was a busy, but fun day for all of them.

A little later that morning, we went to play downstairs.

So many toys, so little time!

Looks like everyone's having fun!
Quinn enjoyed his lunch that afternoon.  Take a look:
Someone likes their spaghetti!
I think he wore more spaghetti then he ate!
Finally that day, we spent some time outside, enjoying the nice weather.

Parker loves driving the cars.
A happy little Quinn!
Wednesday, March 14th, we had Maggie, Baylee and Livy, and Alex all here!  I snapped just a few pictures that day.  Here they are:
Livy, Baylee and Alex snuggled in on the love seat.
Maggie loves rides in the stroller.

Thursday, March 15th, was kind of quiet with just Alex and Maggie here for the day.  Alex enjoyed working on some "fun sheets".
Alex practices writing his letters.
Maggie enjoyed more time outside.
Her top tooth has now poked through as you can see in this next picture.  Yay Maggie!
Here comes more teeth!
Friday, March 16th, we celebrated St. Patrick's Day!  Alex and Parker were both here for most of the day.  At lunchtime, Alex enjoyed the green milk that the leprechauns left for us!
Drinking green milk.
Looks like it was a big hit!
Later that afternoon, Alex and Parker enjoyed their St. Patrick's Day cookies outside.

Alex wanted to check out the inside of Mr. Roy's Toyota Tundra.  He loved sitting up inside of it.

Someone needs to grow a bit more!
Parker had fun in her own set of wheels.

How cute is that???
Parker also enjoyed the Leap Pad a coloring while waiting for her dad to pick her up.
It was a great day!

Well that wraps up this first half of March.  Stay tuned for the rest of March pictures and happenings soon!
