March

March is flying by!
To start with, EmmaLee got a new haircut the beginning of this month, by me, the poor thing! She has a horrible habit of twisting her hair when she is tired or nervous, and as a result, she has literally pulled a lot of her hair out of her back, left side of her head. So, she was looking like she was going bald. It didn't help her look that the other side had nice, long, lush hair, so it made the left side stand out even more! So, I finally had had enough, and I got the scissors out and cut her hair! Not the best job, but it looks so much better than it did!


Another event this last month was that Eden lost her 2nd tooth! It was her other bottom front tooth, so now she can do all sorts of amazing things, like stick a straw through her mouth when it is shut, etc! Apparently the tooth fairy was deceived when she came and Eden was still awake and saw her shawdow on the wall. At first, she thought it was mom, but after talking about it, it was determined that the shawdow was of a taller, skinnier person, who wasn't pregnant! I guess the tooth fairy had better come much later from now on! Even though I didn't much care for "The Toothfairy" with Dwayne Johnson, it sure came in helpful trying to talk through this event!!

St. Patrick's Day has never been a big event either one of our families have celebrated, but this year, Rob and I wanted to do something fun for the kids. So, we went and bought a few big balloons filled with helium, got a fruit bowl, and got our fishing poles out. What any of this had to do with St. Patrick's Day, I don't know, but the kids had fun! We had a little picnic in the backyard, and then attached the balloons to the end of the fishing poles. Then the kids took turns casting their balloons into the sky, and then reeled them back in! We did loose one balloon that came off, but the kids had a good time!




This last week we have been doing a "staycation" as well. First we went to the zoo, which was fun to see the new baby elephant! The next day we went to the Clark Planetarium and watched a 3-D movie about animals under the sea, and when that got over, we went to the Living Aquarium, where we got to see many of the animals live that we had just seen on the big screen! We are having to postpone some of our activities now till next week due to the weather, but we are still planning on going to the Dinosaur museum, and a train museum, as well as go fishing at a fishing pond! So, that about covers our month so far!
