Spring!

Two Sundays ago, we had a play date with Lea at a playground in Warren.  The kiddos shared snacks ...

... and Lea tried to help a reluctant Madeline with her pumping.

At home these days, Madeline likes nothing better than to get her hands dirty outside ...

... day after day.

For St. Patrick's Day, the kiddos got temporary shamrock sleeves.

And they generally enjoyed all things clover.

Madeline also enjoyed a visit to her school playground with Summer.

On Saturday, we celebrated St. Joseph's Day by buying zeppole ...

... and eating them!

In the afternoon, I presented at a conference while the kids did art projects at home with Summer.

Sunday morning we met some friends at a playground; Sunday evening the kiddos received a visit from Nory while they continued to be the fourth generation to enjoy this copy of Sleepy Kitten.

Finally, this morning the kiddos had a dentist visit.  Their dentist provides them with cool shades to wear under the bright lights of the dentist's chair.

And this afternoon, they made construction-paper owls!
