Spring!

Spring is Here!!

March is here.

Spring is near.

Flowers, sunshine, rain and frogs. 

March is here. 

Since the beginning of the year I have been writing poems on the white board for Gage to practice and learn each month. This is March's poem and he already has it memorized (or he can read it:)

We have been ready for spring around here so on Tuesday, even though it was cloudy, we celebrated the first day of spring by meeting our friends at Semiahmoo for a walk/bike ride along the beach. Gage rode his bike and I pushed Ira in the stroller. I had already ran that morning with Braxton (something he and I are doing together before he goes to school 2 days a week) so after getting the big kids off to school I quickly showered and packed a picnic for the beach. 

It was cold and windy on the East side of the beach where we walked and stopped to have our picnic. Poor Ira was trying to nurse with the wind blowing the blanket off and chilling his face. Once we moved to the other side of the beach though it was nice and not as cold so the kids explored and found pretty rocks and shells. Gage collected dead crab legs and brought them home in his pocket to feed to the chickens!

Can I just say, "goodbye winter!" Until next time we are happy to be moving on to warmer days.
