First Half of March

Working on their writing/coloring.  (They're both still in the scribbling stage of writing, but can recognize some key letters. Whenever they see an "A" or "R", they say it's their name or letter or word, even if the rest of the word is not their name. They also recognize "M" and "D" and know they stand for Mom and Dad.)

Quite often Reid will say he's making a grocery list and then ask us to suggest items for the list. "What should I get next, Mom? What should I get next?"

 Spaghetti at Grandma's is always a hit.

I attended a funeral for the mom of one of my students. It was held up in the mountains in Evergreen at this neat barn church.

Guess where?

The produce section!

Where's the water, Mom???

My sluggers.

The end of the snowman.

The boys greeting me as I returned home from a marathon shopping session of buying clothes for them and groceries. I recently took down the last gate which blocked off access to this door and laundry room. It's still surprising me when they open the door, but they're good about standing at the top of the stairs until I turn the engine off.

Aiden couldn't wait to dig in.

I found Rockies jackets for the boys. My dad never met a jacket or pair of sporty shoes/sandals he didn't like, so I think he would have enjoyed seeing these little jackets.

Reid was reading off his list to me: "Milk, juice, supper, potatoes, milk, apples, juice, milk, bananas, yogurt, and waffles." A little redundancy, but still a decent list.

iPad time:

Naptime reading:

Snuggling brothers:

Pie was on sale the day before Pi Day. I bought some for my students which they enjoyed.

I took the boys over to a baseball game at school after I picked them up from Jocie's. They lasted through about 5 minutes of watching the game.

But thoroughly enjoyed the journey to and from the field.

Drinking milk while we waited for our take-out order from Noodles and Co.

Aiden snuggling with Grandma:

Good thing I still have room on my lap to snuggle both my little guys.

I guess I took a little too much time getting the boys out of their room after naptime, as I caught them attempting a prison break. I think it would have worked a little better for Aiden to do the climbing, given his core strength. Good effort, guys.
