Goodbye March

Here are some pictures of our fun-filled March-

Dr. Seuss Day was March 1
Maxwell was Fox in Socks and Annabel wore this adorable dress that I got on Etsy.
Teacher Appreciation Week was this past month and I put together these gifts for Maxwell and Annabel's teachers.


Maxwell's Leprechaun Trap



Our outing to Spring's Preserve during Spring Break
Annabel was invited to a "Tea Party" where they did makeovers and a fashion show.  The girls LOVED it, but it was a little creepy to me.  One too many porcelain dolls.

Gabrielle turns 2!

Gabrielle's birthday fell on a Tuesday this year, but because we are so busy during the week we celebrated it on Saturday.  After breakfast she opened all of her wonderful birthday gifts and played with them for all of 5 minutes.  Ha!  I knew I shouldn't have bought more toys.  After that it was cake time.  She looked so happy when we were singing to her.  And she actually blew out her candles.  It was so sweet.  We all had fun playing with her on her big day.
Happy 2nd Birthday Gabrielle!

Spring Training '13

Rain, rain, and a little sunshine = RAINBOWS!  We saw more rainbows than we did in Hawaii.  Even though the weather was not very cooperative, we all still had fun.  On Friday we needed to find an indoor activity so we decided on the Sea Life Aquarium.  It wasn't the Shark Reef, but it did the job and entertained our kiddos.  On Saturday it rained a little on the way to the Cubs/Indians baseball game, but once we got there the sun peeked out and it turned out to be a great day.  Art caught a home run ball that was hit by a Cubs player.  His hand was swollen and black and blue for a whole week!  He claims he will never do that again.  Gabrielle lasted to the 6th inning and then the "breakdown" happened on the way to the car.  The day we left was a perfect day.  Sunny, no wind, and warm.  The kids rode bikes and played outside until our noon check out time.
