{march}ing along

this month we celebrated dr. seuss' birthday.

grace dressed up like the cat in the hat and is participating in a reading contest at school.  and, she's in it to win it!

we had silly socks day at school and what?  why do my legs look very similar to all of my kindergarteners?  seriously, why?  i think puberty skipped me.

and, of course, we ate green eggs and ham!

grace got a new grown up hairstyle thanks to aunt beth.  i love it and so does she!  she is so cute and old now!!!

spring is in the air!

it has rained so much lately.  when we saw a sort of clear sky, we went out!  even if that meant splashing through puddles!

we made our bellies very happy at belly acres.

his future?

these kiddos love candy.  sugar is the way to these kids' hearts.

the sun!  it was out and bright and beautiful!

rainbow nails and a discussion on why school should be out on st. patrick's day.

i kind of love him.

we had an actual, for real, snow day!!!  like real snow!  not ice or sleet or some flurries.  the real stuff!!!  it has been a very long time since we've gotten this much snow!  so long, in fact, that our kids weren't even sure how to play in it.  but, that didn't stop them from having fun!  they both came in soaking wet (because we don't have actual snow gear and because they were rolling around in the snow like they were at the beach or something).  they loved it and never complained about the cold!  they even went back out in it later in the day.  it was perfect!  

frozen fun on the farm

we celebrated a fun friend's birthday with anna, elsa, and olaf on a farm.

they took sleigh rides and sang along with the frozen sisters while olaf watched from the side.

4 little ducks waddled around the farm.

the kids loved feeding the sheep and goats!

carter man's favorite part was the train ride!

oh.  and john fed a deer.

she's a rocker

 Grace went to her very first concert, The Rock and Worship Roadshow, with Beth, Lily, and me.  The girls were super excited!!!  We went to see Jamie Grace, but unfortunately, she was sick and wasn't performing that night.  After a bit of disappointment, we had a great time!

Matt Maher was so good.  He was no Jamie Grace, but we still enjoyed him.

Grace was so fun to hang out with.  I loved just watching her!

My favorite of the night was definitely Crowder!

LOVE!  LOVE!  LOVE!

Grace told me that the music makes her feel like she just wants to jump up and down.

And, that she did!  Especially, when Tedashii hit the stage.  That girl was getting' down!

We had a super fun night, but we had to leave early because it started sleeting.  By the time we got home, our car was covered in ice and school was already canceled for the next day!  I'm pretty sure that won't be her last concert because that girl is a rocker.  Ha!
