March's Everyday Moments

March is usually one of the longest months for me. There are no holidays off and the winter is usually draaaaaggging it's feet in going away. 

But this March was pretty fun! We got out a lot due to the lack of snow and I just love my crazy guys!

This is what they look like when Jeff gets home, since he doesn't come home every night before they are asleep, they get super excited when he is here:

My little gq men, trying on my glasses:

Ryder has recently discovered the boys underwear drawers. He loves to wear them over his diaper and insists on it almost every day:

This month marked a new routine that Ryder came up with on his own...

One morning I went to get him out of his bed when he woke up. However, he would have none of it! He wanted to stay in his bed and he wanted something to do. So I stuck a huge pile of books in there with him and left the room. I didn't hear from him for another 30 minutes. AWESOME!!  

It has since evolved into Tave (our earliest riser) running into Ryder's room the minute he hears a peep. He throws books, toys, games, in the crib with Ryder and they hang out and play together for anywhere from 15-45 minutes. It is so cute and adorable. 

I walked in one morning to find Tave reading Ryder his favorite book:

Ryder loves doing what we do. So naturally, when he saw my hair in a towel, he had to have it too:

LOVE this boy:

Excuse ALL the Ryder pics, the older boys just don't like posing for me anymore and usually run away!!

Ryder loves his batman shirt and can actually say batman!!  He also loves the boys underwear. He wore this for an entire day...classy I know:

My three sweet boys all snuggled up with popcorn and a show. This is how we get through evenings without daddy:

Yay for March, April coming soon!!!

Superhero Week!

Tave has been requesting a super hero week at school. Typically we try to stick to educational themes...but I couldn't say no, he was just too excited. Aaaand, he's only three, so no biggie.

It was a hit (since there are 3 boys and 1 girl in the class, Hailey was a trooper and played along)!!

Each child got to pick the super hero they wanted to create and then I drew them on our rolls and the kiddos colored them.  Tave still has his batman!

I might have had to help a little...these kids LOVE their play time together. Spiderman is completely colored by Noah, though. Impressive, huh!

During part of our super hero training we had to save the good guys from Mr. Freeze:

It was definitely the favorite activity of the week!

Then we had to knock over the villians with a ball (like bowling):

We also did some super hero packets and talked about being super heroes every day by serving others and doing something kind.  

The kiddos earned their masks at the end of the week:

It was a SUPER week!!!

St. Patrick's Day!!

We love holidays around here. I'm  not huge on decorating (maybe someday I'll be better) but we do try to make the 'day of' a little special. 

This year we had to make our leprechaun trap:

I don't know how such a tiny leprechaun left ALL this stuff (that's what happens when Dad helps out, next year I think he's going to bring just a LITTLE)

We closed the blinds so we wouldn't scare him away and Weston kept checking to see if he was trapped yet:

Finding the goods:

The boys found the spot where he escaped through the fence. Guess he left a few footprints behind:

Happy St. Pattie's Day!!
