March

 March was a good month.  Also busy.  At the beginning of the month we took advantage of the warm weather and I with our 2 youngest to youngest met up with daddy at the park halfway between our house and work during his lunch break.  It is nice for the kids and to see their daddy during the day and get to play with him.  We miss him coming home for lunch since his office moved and sometimes we need some daddy time.  My youngest was being a stinker and I couldn't get her to look at the camera.  But they are fun pictures anyways.  My son is older and very adventurous.

 

 

 

 Then our oldest was in the school play this year.  She got to be one of the bitty crows that help Jim Crow torment the Scarecrow.  This was a very emotionally and physically exhausting experience.  I am not sure that I will let her do another play for a couple years.  I had a couple issues with the director where I did not feel she handled things as well as she could have.  This was her last year and so I will see what happens over the next few years and see if other parents feel that things improve.  I don't have any video since we were told we were not allowed to video tape due to copy right laws.  I think that is silly with a school play.  We did order the DVD they made but are still waiting to get it.  I think I will have my husband call since he is nicer and better able to work with people and get things done.  Our oldest did awesome.  I am her mom and completely biased but I was proud of her commitment and dedication.  She knew her lines and got every one of them as long as the other kids got out of her way and let her say them.  But even when another kid said her line instead of letting her get to the microphone she handled it well and still had fun.  They had two casts and so we have one picture with her and her counterpart in the other cast.  They are cute.  She also played an extra monkey and a gold dancer.

 My son made his bed and this is how he had his Fireman Sam and fire monkey cuddle.  I went in to his room after he went to school and thought it was adorable.

 My husbands birthday and his cake.  He wanted a chocolate cake with chocolate and peanut butter frosting.  I was happy with how yummy it was.  He loved it which made it worth it.

 I love this guy.  He makes me smile and loves me in so many ways.  I am so lucky to have him in my life.  He is the Best Dad to our kids and an Incredible Husband. Our youngest adores him and when he comes home gives him a big smile stops whatever she is doing and gives him a big hug and then follows him everywhere.  He is a great example to our son of how a man should be and our oldest loves to spend time with him because he is so much fun.  I hope to share many more birthdays with him.
