See that huge bruise on Mason’s cheek?
He got it by running to me so he could plant a huge kiss on my cheek. He is quite the kissing boy! I didn’t know he was coming and turned my head at the last minute, and he hit me right in the head. The biggest bruise he has ever gotten, and all because he wanted to give me a kiss!
Another thing I love about Mason was that when I made him this bowtie, he was so excited about it he wanted to wear it all day, he wanted to hold it, and he thought it was the coolest thing ever – he even put down his cars so he could hold it. It was definitely worth the effort to make him an Easter bowtie.
Aunt Marilyn (Joe’s wife) came over and we all made them together! It was a much needed afternoon with Marilyn and her boys Bennett and Carter. I told her the last thing I needed to be ready for Easter was for the boys to get a haircut. To my surprise she offered and took all the kids home with her and when I saw them again they were looking as clean cut and cute as ever! (I need her to show me the proper way to comb the faux hawk… is that the right name?)
Thank you Marilyn!! YOU did an awesome job!!
Elaina also proved to be great for my confidence when she loved the dress I made her. I’ve been wanting to make her a genuine twirly dress so she can dance and twirl to her heart’s content. It was super easy – I just sewed some material onto a white shirt and added a belt made from the same material. (Thanks Pinterest!)
And boy does it twirl – I was almost jealous as I watched her twirl around and around. It looked like so much fun.
A funny story about Ellie this past month. She was sitting on the floor pouring water on her bare legs. I asked her what she was doing and she said, “Mom, I am watering my legs to see if they have seeds and will grow.” We watched the Odd Life of Timothy Green a while back. I guess it made an impression on her!
Oscar has been enjoying the springtime just as much as anyone! He even brought home a seed from school to plant a tree. It is growing much faster than I expected. I was so happy for him. He is following in his father’s footsteps and has a real love of nature and plants especially.
We are currently enjoying spring break from school. He’s having the time of his life just riding his bike, scooter, and getting tons of fresh air.
There are lots of reasons why March was a great month. I really enjoyed spending time with my extended family more than I have been able to in the past. Thanks Joe and Marilyn and Jon and Melissa! Hopefully I’ll be able to spend time with my other sibling’s families soon too! I also enjoyed my own family more than ever this month – my three little musketeers and my wonderful husband.
