And speaking of March...

Scott built Addilyn's bed way back in July when we were gone in Seattle. She's been sleeping on it- but it hasn't been painted. Scott had to put some trim pieces on it and then prime it. We found some "oops" paint for $5 that happened to be purple. Addilyn was so thrilled and tickled that she was going to help paint it. She did a great job too! And she takes such pride in her bed now.

Remember my comment in that last post about Levi dressing up? Here are a few more outfits...

So this photo above.... we had gone to SciQuarium again by ourselves with plans to meet up with a friend. Well, just before our friends came, I discovered Levi had pooped out of his diaper. WHAT! He hasn't done that in forever. The only casualty was his shirt. But he still had a sweatshirt to wear over it.

The spring weather has been beautiful- when it is. You know, spring swings from being nice to being like winter again. But whenever it's been nice, the kids have been outside!! Mostly playing in dirt. Which Levi has eaten enough for all of us.

Living in the south definitely has it's perks. Our planting season starts in March! We had a garden clean up day and planted. Scott and I later made our beds into mini green houses which has really helped on these cold spring nights.

 Last Saturday we had our Primary Easter activity. It was crazy because they planned for max capacity- almost 900 eggs. So everyone of course got a gazillion eggs (if they were fast enough). Addilyn has spent her life training for this moment and was awesome.

Sometimes they play nice with each other. And it's wonderfully adorable. They had huge bubbles in the tub and loved hunting for the eggs I threw in there.

Ready for church

We went to the train museum with our friends the Petitt's. It was their first time and we had fun even though it was a bit chilly.

Addilyn is a sunbeam this year in primary. Which means- she's no longer in nursery and goes to sharing time and class. I teach an older primary class and sit a few rows behind her during sharing time so I can watch her figure out her way. Below is a picture I took of her with her friend Chloe. It looks like she is pulling her hair, but Chloe was having a hard time without her parents and Addilyn is stroking her hair trying to calm her down. It was too cute.

January's field trip was to a pizza place. They gave them a tour of their kitchen and then they made their own pizza's. Addilyn at first was super clingy and didn't want to be up with the group, but after some time she participated. She loved it.

Showing Levi the ropes

It's nearly impossible for me to do any dishes during the day anymore. Addilyn makes 5 cents for emptying the dishwasher and 20 cents if she helps wash. She's saving up to buy new sunglasses since hers broke. So when she sees me start she wants to help. Which then causes Levi to want to help too. And as you can tell like most people we have a double- not triple- sink. In other words there is no room for me. I hover and keep the peace.

SO HANDSOME

So like the dishes, they are both so very willing to help in the kitchen. It's more hassle then what it's worth in my opinion. But I just keep thinking, they are learning and having fun. Both are very important so it outweighs the frantic maneuvering on my part.
