At the beginning of March I was able to go see my niece, Makenzie, who lives in Sioux Falls. Of course, I also got to see my brother, David, and his wife, Wendi, but playing with Mak on the floor was the best! But she whopped me in Wii bowling! Yikes!

About mid-March Ben had a little accident with the van. We no longer have a van, but are happy as a two-car family...at least we still have our son! Jeff handled it way better than I did, I am embarrassed to say. I had just attended the funeral for one of my 1st grade students the same day that Ben had the accident. It was not one of my best days!

Dying Easter Eggs used to be a family event, however, the boys only did a few and I wrote lesson plans. So the girls ended up coloring 4 dozen eggs pretty much by themselves!

March brought a change in weather and boy! were my daughters happy! They love being outside with their friends! Maren planned an Easter Egg hunt for the neighbor children and they had so much fun! She scrounged for some candy she had in her room, filled the eggs, hid the eggs, and then encouraged the kids to find them. She had more fun than they did, I think! I had to take the group photo as they are all so cute!

So, that sums up March and I am looking forward to seeing the flowers bloom, the grass turn green, and planting my garden.
