March Favorites

My favorite Project Life and Instagram photos for March:

 

Selfie in the car with Kyle.

We went to Red Robin for dinner and Kyle got a balloon on the way out and had so much fun with it on the drive home. There was nothing but giggles coming from the backseat.

Lately Kyle has been wanting to read Tyler's old Blue's Clues books from when he was a toddler and so we also searched DirecTV on Demand for old episodes of Blue's Clues for him to watch. He's a fan for sure! In this picture Kyle is watching Blue's Clues while Tyler builds a fort around him, another artifact from Tyler's toddler days.

My St. Patrick's Day lucky charm.

World Book Day was this month and Tyler was sent home from school "sick" that day even though he seemed perfectly fine and even told me he probably could have stayed at school. Anyway, I told him to take it easy in his room and read to his brother.

It was parent/teacher conference week towards the end of the month with half days all week long, so Tyler had to tag along on grocery shopping day as well as every other errand I had to run that week. He normally hates going anywhere, but he was actually joking around quite a bit in the grocery store.

Max and Tyler playing with Lego Mindstorm pieces. Max especially likes the Mindstorm pieces because they have more holes in them to grab onto than the regular brick style Legos.

Carmelita loves storytime so much I can't even get over it. When I read to Tyler at night, she'll push her way up to the head of the bed so she can lay right next to the book.

My #FourLeafJulep IG contest entry. I've been subscribing to the Julep Maven monthly box since last November, which is a mix of nail polish and other makeup items, all Julep brand. Besides the nail polish, I've tried their lip gloss, eye primer, and the face highlighter. Good stuff!

 

Another St. Patrick's day Julep contest entry.

Some of my favorite March outfits: it was all about green this month.

Tyler's 10th birthday

Tyler's birthday being at the end of March either lands on the last week of school before Spring Break or the first weekend of Spring Break and he usually has some sort of classroom celebration.

 

Some teachers celebrate birthdays on the actual day, but Mrs. James does a lump celebration of all the birthdays at the end of each month. This year the celebration included Tyler and one other girl who not only share the same birthday month, but the same day as well. The food policy for the school changed this year and they no longer allow any outside food to be brought in to share, so I was relieved of having to make multiple loaves of banana bread for the class. Instead, Tyler was invited to bring in a game to play and he brought Monopoly and had a great time with his friends.

On Sunday we had a small family celebration, with lots of streamers, balloons, presents and cake of course.

This year we got an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins that we special ordered with Tyler's pick of design and cake and ice cream flavors. He chose a rainbow cake that usually comes with a flower in the corner that kind of makes it look like a "Get Well" cake, so he asked that instead of the flower, they put two small ice cream cones on top instead. Then he chose chocolate cake and gold medal ribbon ice cream to go inside.

We also got those special candles that have colored flames to match the color of the candle. So cool!

After cake and presents we went to the new(ish) trampoline park, Get Air. They have lots of trampolines for open jump, foam pits, and basketball hoops, but the boys tend to stay in the Dodge Ball section for most of the time.



Then we went out to dinner at Tyler's choice restaurant El Porton.

All in all, it was a great day. Back at the house, Tyler was so busy with his new toys (primarily building Minecraft Lego kits) that I literally fell asleep before getting either of the boys to bed. Good thing we're on Spring Break now because it was a long night!
