Hello Spring!

March is off to a great start! A big boo to February, in which we all got sick and for some reason I got it three times.

We've had such nice weather for a few weeks now. Jon and I have been nursing our first sunburns (his the traditional face burn from working outside; mine the incredibly non-traditional thumb sunburn from reading a book in the car for two hours while waiting to pick Ollie up). 

In honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday, Seth's teacher issued a challenge to see which of her students could read the most Dr. Seuss books over the course of the week. Seth worked hard all week and burst through the door Friday afternoon shouting "I won!"  15 and 1/2 books were logged and can I just say daaaang Mr. Seuss, sir. I do love all your books, but help a reader out! Your shortest book of those 15 and a half that were read was 61 pages! But Congratulations all the same, Seth!  You did it!

Ollie, in typical Ollie fashion, has been beside himself with excitement for upcoming fun events: looking forward to Uncle Josh's visit, camping over spring break, and of course the commercial aspects of Easter (CANDY).  We checked out some Junie B. Jones audio books and Ollie dies laughing at each mention of that stupid smelly bus.  I believe from the age four to hmmm....  at least seven, the word stupid does not lose it's comedic value. 

And that is what I call a great start to March!
