Games, Painting, and Axe Throwing

One morning I woke up to find Noah teaching Charlotte to play his Labyrinth game.


And later they sat together while Noah played on his tablet. Too cute.


We signed Wyatt up for pitch baseball this spring, so we had to make a run to the sporting goods store to get him a bat, glove, and helmet. I really liked this yellow helmet because I would have no trouble spotting him on the field (spoiler alert: it worked).

One night we met up with Grandpa and Cheryl to throw some axes around. It was a birthday gift from Uncle Kurt who likes to buy us interesting experiences. It was a little tricky, but we got the hang of it and nobody cut off any toes.

Grandpa was pretty good at it


Nick misses and Grandpa hits:

Even though it wasn't warm enough, Charlotte insisted on wearing her new shirt.


With March came the annual Spaghetti dinner fundraiser for Scouts


Charlotte's room became increasingly messy. Partly due to the fact that she never actually slept there and so had no real reason to have to walk through her room.


We took the kids to a ceramic painting event at the nature center.




We also ran into some Little Sprout friends there



And it finally got warm enough for park time without coats on. We took Wyatt to the Kindergarten Center's playground so he could become familiar with the school.

That night was game night and Nick picked Monopoly. Wyatt and Nick were a team, Charlotte and I were a team, and Noah played by himself. Noah won.

Ice Skater

Noah was invited to a birthday party at an ice skating rink and since they offered skates as small as size 6 (he's a 7 1/2) we (well not me) took him out on the ice for his first skating experience. Nick basically just grabbed him under the arms and skate-dragged him all around. I wasn't sure he would like it, but he kept asking to go around again and again.
