March Wrap Up

Here are just a few other March wrap up items:

We have been wanting to replace the light in our hallway for over a year since we took that light and put it in the basement and finally got this light which matches the pendants we added in the kitchen. 

Lydia has been working hard on making "murals" on her big poster size paper and made a bunch of drawings to show off. 

We watched the Haderlie kids and had a great time with all 7 kids including a movie night. 

The kids built forts in the basement. 

They also decided to make a video called ABC's with the cousins which was a 6 minute long video to teach kids about their letters. 

Sleeping kids are cute at any age. I found Lydia one night with her legged folded like she was sitting on a chair and she was dead asleep. So funny. 

Giant tower building. 

Austin and Lydia riding bikes together (literally together, on the same bike). 

St. Patricks day which included a festive dinner with rainbow ice cubes in our water, a gold coin candy and Irish Shepherds Pie. It was just really Shepherds pie, but saying it was Irish made if feel more festive. 

Caleb playing with his new car track he got for his birthday. 

This is one of my favorites. Shantel is always so good to let the boys help with making food. She is especially good at not just letting them help, but letting them do it. They can come down in the morning and get smoothie making going or do pancakes and know exactly what to do. Hey they are working on some pasta. Shantel is great and letting them learn and grow and do new things, even if they might make a mistake. 

I was able to grab this picture when I noticed Lydia walking down the stairs one day. This is a frequent thing, but hard to catch on camera. She was just full on reading this book as she walked all the way down the stairs without missing a beat. I love it so much. 

Just call him amazing Austin. He scales the doorways all the time and can hang on the the ledge for a surprisingly long time with his strong little fingers. 

This is how our groceries are coming now a days. We signed up for Wal-mart plus to get free grocery delivery which will be so nice. This is a typical grocery order these days and it just fills up our porch.
