March Madness

Sweet G earned the kindness award in March!

Open House- they had been learning all about farms!

Spring Break- went to Grandma's house who had a little bit of snow left.

Grandpa's specialty- pancakes!!

His other specialty- the ipad.

Can you guess how old this stud turned?

A quick playdate with the McBrides!

Back in Dallas, we ditched the STP parade and went to the Arboreteum instead.

Cousin's Bday party- 1 of 5 G was invited to in March!!!

My sweet girls.  Yes, Elia insisted on wearing a Christmas shirt in March.

Aunt Colleen's Visit

We had such a wonderful visit with Aunt Col this week. She babysat for us all day while we were at work on Friday, went to the parade on Saturday, babysat again for a date night on Sunday, followed us around at the Arboretum on Monday, hung out at the hiking park on Tuesday, and finally helped me host my church's playgroup on Wednesday. I was sad to see her go when we dropped her off at the airport this evening. The girls love her, and it shows in the pictures. We can't wait to see her again in June! Love you Col!

At the parade:

Gianna asked her to draw a pteranadon (flying dino) and so she looked up a pic on her computer and sketched it.

Hanging out:

Ain't she pretty? :)

Arboretum

Monday morning, we had a blast hanging out with G's bff Brynn at the Arboretum. They have everything all decked out for spring, including some amazing fairy tale play castles. On Mondays and Tuesdays they have a Mommy and me program which includes face painting, crafts, and music. After we got our faces painted, we spent the rest of the morning exploring the castles. So. much. fun.

I feel like it made G look like she was 30 years old. But so beautiful!

Elia did not like it at first and kept trying to wipe it off. Once I distracted her with goldfish, she was all good.

Gianna kept breaking out into song- I think she was inspired by the beauty of it all. Here they are in the Beauty and the Beast Castle.

Elia went to Tom Thumb earlier that morning and got the 'thank you' sticker.

Best pics of the two of them together. G is mid song in the 1st picture. I feel like the face paint on Elia gives her man brows!

The tulips were freaking gorgeous. Gianna and Elia tried to play hide and seek in the open field, but it being in an open field, didn't go as well as they wanted.

SO glad spring is finally here!

The Dallas Arboretum

This morning I met a friend at the Arboretum, and we had a blast! Gianna got her face painted, but Elia freaked out when we tried to get her to do it. We spent the rest of the morning picnic-ing and walking around to see all the fun exhibits. Such a fun day!
