March 2016

I am going to try and remember the fun things we did in March of this year. Luckily I have some pictures to help me but I obviously will not remember everything three to four months out.

The beginning of March I hosted a evening, well it was an all day event, to make freezer meals. I think we cooked for 7 or 8 hours and ended up with a ton of food.  I can't remember the specifics but it was a lot, and I wrote how much we made on Facebook. My stepmom and stepsister came and we cooked and chatted and the kids played with my dad and their dads, then they disappeared to pick up a truck and look at another one, I don't know exactly but I do know that by the end of the day my house smelled super yummy... oh those meatballs, and I was exhausted.

Most of the loot, some bags were already put away because we had over 90 burritos and a few other things.

In March my grandma also hosted her annual Easter Egg Hunt. These hunts are not for the faint of heart or for who you might think they are for. She still puts on an Easter Egg hunt for her grandkids so me and my siblings. My mom does the Easter Egg hunt for her grandkids. This year was more laid back but we still had to complete a word search before the hunt could begin and the winner got prizes. We then went out to find the eggs that Warren and his cousins hid for us. They would take the eggs back out of our baskets to hid them again. I think we found the same 30 eggs (big difference from most years with 120 plus eggs) about 3 or 4 times, but they had a great time.

Squishy finding an egg.

Yes that is a plastic bag, he had been painting with his cousins earlier and I didn't want him to get paint on his clothes. 

The adult Easter egg hunt!

Jessie can be ruthless!

Later that month Warren had had his first friend from school come over to play. I thought it would  be fun to have STEM activities planned for them, (that's the teacher in me, I had just completed a STEM course) but they just wanted to play, so we played with what I brought however they wanted, then played  with the trains.

Instead of building a tower, Warren just wanted to put the as many marshmallows on a piece of spaghetti as he could.

Mom was trying  to help guide and direct him to build some sort of tower to hold Oreo's.

But that didn't happen, so I built my own.

Tada!

Coloring Easter Eggs with Koolaid, it really worked.

 Warren with some of his projects that he worked on at school. He had an amazing preschool teacher and teacher's aide. We loved his preschool experience and so did he.

A bean plant and grass he grew at school. The grass got so long he cut it with scissors a couple times before it was time to get rid of it.

His bean plant he grew from a seed in a  2 liter bottle with water in it and the seed placed in the wet paper towel.

The last week in March was my Spring Break so Warren and I got to hang out all day. One day we made play dough and had some fun with it and cookie cutters. This picture was for me to send to Daddy and all the hearts were because we love him.

Warren's big ball of play dough.

It also snowed during Spring Break, actually several times. We didn't see much sunshine until midweek.
