March

I am a slacker this month.  April is almost over and I am just barely getting to posting March.  We have been busy this month.  Spring is finally here and we have lots of projects underway but we will get to that in next month's post.  Back to March  Mia has decided she likes to have jobs.  If I ask her to do something and tell her it's her job she is more than happy to help out.  She likes to put away her laundry, put her dishes in the dishwasher, empty the silverware out of the dishwasher, and many other things.  This day I was cleaning bathrooms and Mia decided she wanted to help clean my tub.

 Our major project started in March and is still ongoing.  We are finishing the rest of our basement.  One of the first things that needed to be done was to take the wall out at the foot of the stairs.

 I got to kick through the wall.  It was really fun.

 Monty knocked out the top part of the wall.

 Mia helped take out the bottom of the wall. Our awesome home teacher helped us take the wall out and was a ton of help. It's great to have good friends who know how do things like that.

We are grilling more often now that the weather is warmer.

We've had a few picnics outside already, some even with bubbles.

 Helping dad with her own little drill.

Mia's cousin Lucy was baptized this month so we got to go to her baptism and then had a big family dinner with all of Monty's family.  Mia loves playing with her cousins.

Mia picked some of Nana's flowers while we were there. 

One day Mia and I made Play dough.  She was a big helper making it. 

 Mia chose green for the color.

 Good thing we have 101 cookie cutters.

I can't believe how fast this girl is growing.
