Moments in March

March has been MARVELOUS! My greatest pleasure comes from my sweet Greta who is finally POTTY TRAINED!

She is dry through the night and can even take herself to the potty. I can hardly describe my joy that we are done with diapers. AND we did it before she turns three. Three cheers for Greta!

My stellar hubby watch the kids while I had a weekend at the coast. It was such a blast. I was able to spend some time with these two gorgeous ladies.... and my dad but I don't have a picture of him. :(

Rachel and I also had a short visit. We have to have a weekend to ourselves one day.

I hadn't been to the island since I was 16! It was a quick but throughly enjoyable trip.

While there I met up with some dear friends from the Saskatoon days. So fun!

Joseph's cub car rally was actually at the end of February but we are lumping it in with March.

It was a really fun night and all the boys behaved very well considering only one car consistently crossed the finish line. All the parents were thrilled we wouldn't have to take our cub to districts. :)

All the snow here has melted so we spent our first day of spring break up at the ski hill skating and tubing.

We hope every moment of your March has been just as marvelous.

spring has sprung

the tulip and daffodil shoots are up. crocuses are on display. the snow has melted and spring clean up has begun.

due to my fall laziness i did NOT finish all the raking. i was able to get 20 bags filled before the snow fell. 8 more were bagged yesterday which 'leaves' me with a measly 32 more bags to fill.

but with the warming sun and smell of soil and life in the air i don't mind that much.

the kids will be so disappointed with the clean up plans i have for spring break :)
