March’s Favorite Photos

March was a funny month, and it went by all to quickly. We celebrated Dylan’s 7th birthday, and the boys were home on Spring Break too. We had cold weather, storms, and Winter wasn’t ready to leave just yet. We did get out of the house when the weather was cooperative, and we enjoyed the great indoors when the weather wasn’t so kind.

I have a few photos to share from the month of March.

Thade has become the master of avoiding the camera.

Dylan accomplished his goal for Ready Set Read! Here he is reading one of my very favorite books from when I was little.

The big kid celebrated his seventh birthday! Holy moly! I can’t believe that he is already seven!

Miss Agnes has been constantly by my side. She has been helping out with little chores, and singing me lots of really loud songs.

Her hair is getting crazy long.

There has been lots of sibling-time going on. I love it!

Southeast Kansas skies were busy in March too.

I love the sky here!

Miss Mia is growing up too. She will be two this year.

She has become my “car buddy”, she loves to go for a ride. That also involves her barking at everyone…

The big kitty has been taking lots of naps. He will be fifteen this year, so he likes to spend a lot of his time relaxing.

He also likes to prevent me from completing any crochet projects with his kitty-cuteness.

I’m trying to use what I’ve got on hand this week, and put off grocery shopping for a bit longer. I haven’t been doing too well with the grocery budget lately.
