March
March was a strange month for weather. It was hot and it was cold. I even woke up one morning to a thick layer of frost on my windshield. I had to scrap it off before I could drive. 
Dr. Seuss' Birthday
We started off the month by celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday. Growing up I never really cared for his books but now I love them and so does the rest of my family. The week leading up to his birthday, we read lots of Dr. Seuss books, we watched the Lorax (on Netflix)and Horton Hears a Who (which was one of the shared gifts from us to the kids). On his birthday, we had Carter over for a Dr. Seuss dinner of green eggs and ham (an mashed potatoes). The kids loved it. I think both, Josh and Carter, thought I was a bit strange. But they both said they enjoyed it by the end of the night. We finished up by reading all the our Dr. Seuss books (5) plus the 2 we borrowed from the library.
Lego Class
Our Lego class is still going strong. Landon looks forward to it every week, as well as many of the other kids. I love teaching it, every week :)

Gainesville now has a Red Robin. I had never been to one but people around here seemed pretty excited. Josh and I didn't really have any opinion about it one way or another... Until our friend Michelle told me that they were allowing you to sign up for a free meal. So... I signed up our family. Josh met us at the mall for lunch. We had a lovely, yummy meal that was a little over $55 for free!! How awesome is that? The food was really good too! So now I think I get why everyone was excited about Red Robin. They have great service and awesome food! Plus they gave us some free food and I am always up for that!

I love St Patrick's Day. I always have. I am Irish. I had an Irish maiden name. I always get pretty into St Patrick's Day, well I wear green and since Josh and I have been married we almost always have corned beef and cabbage at least once in March. I LOVE corned beef and cabbage. Which is kind of funny because I remember it being a big family tradition things growing up and I hated it! Oh well, I guess that is why it is always good to keep trying things, because you never know when you will start liking them.

We have been working on the play area in the back yard. Arabella and I painted the inside of the playhouse/fort. We used left over paint that we have collected. So one great part was the project was free :)
There is now a green, red, blue, and purple wall. While I was painting, a little bird came to keep me company and sing me a song. It was such a treat!

We had to do some work in Niceville. It was only going to take an hour or so but we could stay. So instead of dreading a 8 hour drive to and from Niceville, Josh thought we should just make a family fun day out of it. We went to the Florida Caverns. Unfortunately, it was spring break so the tickets for the caverns (which you can not buy in advanced) were sold out by the time we got there. We still had a lot of fun. We walked on the nature trails and found caves to explore ourselves. We will be planning another trip there so we can go in the caverns but for a family fun day it was a perfect outing!

The Saturday before Easter/Resurrection Sunday, we joined many other friends at Mrs Jean's house for a pot luck lunch, games and egg hunt. She host this every year and it is always a blast. This year was no different.
