"Insta"-replay #106, Spring has sprung

March really does seem to come in like a lion, out like a lamb.

March started out cold and wet.
Kids had to bundle up to go outside.

I started the month with the flu.  I'm a miserable sick person.  But Jon suffered through it and did what he could to keep me away from everyone else so they didn't get sick too.

Thanks to YouTube and "standupmaths" I learned a spinning egg trick.  Girls where also impressed.

Our piano is finally being used as an instrument not a shelf!  Thanks to Aunt Abbie graciously offering to teach the girls.  They are enjoying the lessons and even practicing, some.

The middle of March is a fun time for not quite holidays.  Pi day, 3/14, we went out for pie with my mom.

The ides of March, the kids learned about Caesar.  I got out my old high school English project, animal themed sock puppets.  It was fun to share and the girls are asked my if this will be something we do every "ides of March"?

Spring break was a lot of cousin time.  It was wet outside so we had to spend most of the time indoors.  Luckily the local craft store had kids crafts every morning so we were able to get out of the house each day.  An added bonus was I didn't have to clean up afterwards.

The month finished with Easter.  The girls came up with a great clay egg and beads craft.  They shaped the eggs from modeling clay and used beads to decorate.  So simple yet so creative.

Another month done.
