Crazy March Weather

We woke up this morning and found some crazy white stuff on the ground. What is that all about?

We had already put away hats and gloves and had to scramble to get them out for today.

The locals are hopeful this will help with allergies since the dreaded Bradford Pear trees are blooming (stinky fish). Thankfully, all of us have been doing pretty good and haven't had anything terrible to complain about, just a few runny noses. Maybe this will be our last cold snap?!

Counting down

Nathan's been in this stage where he asks us and tells us how much he misses us. We could have been separated for 1-2 hours (at church) and he'll tell us that he misses us. Although it can be heart rending (and sweet too) to hear this from him, it was a reminder that we needed to have some time together as a family. Thankfully, a break is coming up so we started making a plan.

Coundowns have been popular so this time the boys both worked at moving the numbers starting from 12. 

What is going on here?!

Nathan's acting silly and Zach is way too interested in food. WAIT. These are typical reactions for the boys! No Facebook-perfect picture here today!

We're headed to visit 'cousants' in Michigan since we didn't get to go at Christmas. A new house is finished with a new puppy to meet. It'll be a great couple of days!
Another surprise is up our sleeves and we hope the weather will cooperate.

Bird Seeders

Do you know what a bird seeder is? It's a cute adaptation of bird feeder. You put bird seed in it, so it should be a bird seeder, right?!

Last summer, before school started back, our bird seeder was taken down. We think that some high schooler were causing havoc because our sunflower was also cut down. In any case, we replaced the feeder with a new one because we needed to keep feeding the birds. The new one seems to be more difficult to eat from (or perhaps harder on the squirrels to knock over) and the bird seed lasts longer. Since the old one mysteriously was found, we decided to get both of them out for the birds coming back after the winter.

 [Nathan's in this big thing about posing and making funny faces. Zach isn't quite so sure about it.]

Crazy Hair Day!

Today was Crazy Hair Day. We got hair gel for the boys' hair because Nathan thought he wanted to do a Mohawk. When it came down to it, he didn't want to do it. I did Zachy's hair and he still didn't want it. I made him and you can see how happy he was with me.

Nathan's hair stayed crazy for the day, but when we got Zach, his hair was back to normal. When we got home, Nathan had me brush out his hair as he had enough!

It's been fun!

Two for Tuesday School Edition

This week has been Read Across America and the students have certain things to wear for each day.

 Monday was wearing green for green eggs and ham.

Tuesday was wearing a shirt with words on it. (see him on the far left?)

Sweet Baby

One of my good friends just had a baby and sent us an announcement. Zachy is so in love with babies and loved looking at it. It's kind of fun at this age when they notice others. When Nathan was this age, he would point out babies wherever we went.

Zachy - 2 years, 7 months

Sunday Shenanigans

Nathan used some more birthday money for this cool Hot Wheels jump and a set of cars. The boys were trying to make it difficult so that I had couldn't get the cars to make it all the way to the end. We found there were only a couple cars that could make it all the way to the end -- maybe due to the weight of them -- I'm not sure.

Thanks Grandma, Amy, Keith & Traci & cousins!
