Finally warming up

 Towards mid-March it finally started to warm up.  Audrey wanted to play outside and ride her bike.  Evelyn was excited to get into the wagon.  She loves riding in it.

Their were puddles to ride around.  About half way around the neighborhood Audrey decided it was more fun to ride through them than ride around.

 So happy to be outside

 She went back outside while Evelyn napped and we waited for Carter to come home from school.

Lego Movie

 Carter and Audrey kept asking to go see The Lego Movie.  We got a sitter for Evelyn and had a date with the big kids.

 Ready for the movie to start.  They gobbled up their kids packs during the movie.  No movie is complete without popcorn, fruit snacks and a slushy.

They loved the movie!  When we got home they immediately went down to the basement to play with their legos :)

school carnival

 The first weekend in March Carter's school had their annual carnival.  It's their biggest fundraiser for the year.  The kids have fun playing all the games.

 Carter and Audrey raced each other through the obstacle course

 The face painting was a disappointment this year

 Last year they had a professional.  This year they had volunteer high school kids that didn't know what they were doing.  Oh well.

The balloon guy was there.  He's always a hit with our kiddos.

Last of the snow

 Winter was long this year and I'm happy these are the last pictures of the kids playing in the snow

 Audrey's as tall as the lamp post standing on one of the snow piles

 She still talks about how yummy the snow is to eat.  And no, I don't know what is with her pose.  It's just Audrey being Audrey

 Evelyn loved trying to help shovel

Cabin fever

 

 By the time the end of February rolled around cabin fever was setting in.  We had many play dates to keep them busy.  Audrey's bestie lives so close that it was easy to coordinate.

 They thought it was funny that I let Evelyn paint with them.

 I also hosted a play date for 5 of her friends after school one day.  This one was for the kids and mommies.  The moms had fun chatting while the kids played.  They played hard and wanted to settle down with a movie. I like how they had to all squish together and sit in one row.  They were so cute!

One of the moms brought these cute smiley face cookies for the kiddos.

buddies

 Evelyn can't get enough of Sasha.  She even has to cuddle with her under our bed.

 This picture I was getting ready to run to the store.  That's why she has her boots on.  While I was packing the diaper bag Evelyn crawled under the bed, snuggled up to Sasha and fell asleep.  Sasha stayed under there with Evelyn until she woke up.

 She woke up happy :)

 Under our bed is where Sasha can get away from the commotion of the house and rest.  Evelyn can't resist invading her space. 

Sasha's other favorite spot is wedged under the kitchen table.

Turns out this time Evelyn was sharing her snack

And then there's these 2.  They are going to be trouble together one day.

snowman

 Audrey is such a poser whenever I take pictures

 I bought some snow paints to try.  The kids had fun decorating the snowman we made with them.

 Carter wrote names in the snow with the rest of his

 Family picture except for Evelyn.  She was napping.

The kids didn't use up the green so Chuck made a Packer G
