spring and young-uns
















We can tell spring is on the way- daffodils are almost gone, the moss has taken over the lawn, the squirrels have taken over the bird feeder, and the deer have returned to the apple trees.





I am including a picture of the daffodils, from a couple of weeks ago. They are cheery, aren't they?










I had the little grand kids over yesterday. They "made" cinnamon rolls- very fun. The dough certainly gets a workout!!!Ewan liked his rolls "big" and plain. Carson liked hers "little" with a lot of cinnamon and sugar (and TONS of frosting!!!) . It was fun playing with the dough, and them!










Madison came over a bit later and also had fun with the other little kids. She decided to use a "fork" to get her piece of cheese off of her plate....very cute!





I enjoy the grandkids- they are all great kids!










Calista and I share several Weds. a month together, as I am the Activity days assistant, and she is in that age group. Last week was St. Patrick's day, and she came up with the whole activity. We learned a bit about St. Patrick and the legends, then she had the girls color, cut out and paste a shamrock on construction paper, and also write 4 things they had learned about St. Patricks day. We then decorated green cupcakes with green frosting. Also, played a couple of board games. Good ideas, Calista!










I get to go to Jeff and Calista's music concerts, also. Reminds me of the concerts I used to go to with our kids- seems like yesterday!!!sigh....





Have a good "rest of March!"

And I bet between the four of us, there really were TONS of concerts to go to! I didn't know daffodils were winter flowers.

My kids have such fun at your house that every day they ask if we are going there.
