March Madness

I've decided that updating once a month may be the right speed for me. So, here's a hodge-podge for March. A belated Happy St. Patrick's day! We like to get into the holidays around here, and St. Patty's day was no exception. The boys were even good sports about me taking their pics (thanks for the shirt - AnnaLee!). Aidan's pic was a little trickier to get - he will usually only smile long enough for the camera to focus, and then he's done before I've even taken the picture. I lucked out with this one.
With a little bit of the nice weather, we've gone outside to enjoy the fresh air. I thought it was cute that Aidan wanted to swing with a little friend.

Aidan's nickname is Monkey - and he's become quite the climber lately - starting the microwave on his own, pushing the stools so that he can turn the lights on and off, turning on the water dispenser on the fridge, and he loves to fit in the little space between the microwave and the sink and play with the water. He's got a little bit of a "you caught me" look on his face, but it doesn't stop him.

Now here is a serious case of bed-head!
I got to take Aidan and go with Alex's class to see the sheep down the street. It was so fun!
Alex got to hang with his friends and feed the sheep some bread bits.
Aren't the lambs so cute?
Aidan LOVES animals and he was so excited to see the sheep, as well as a few other animals that also live there - like a dog, some ducks, a donkey, and a rabbit. Poor little Aidan may have gotten petted by the first graders as much as the sheep. It was a fun outing, though!
