March Rewind

Blogging has been forsaken this month on account of sickness and just plain laziness, at least from blogging. Sickness brought about much daily cleaning and laundry, I feel like it never ended, the laundry I mean! The beginning of the month was our annual Pregnancy Center Banquet. It is always fun to get dressed up and support such worthy cause. We also brought out the new blender to make our "green smoothies, " which Justin figured out had spinach in them. The kids really like them and they have become our snack almost everyday!

The proof is on Noah's face!

Aunt Courtney sent Karis and Noah a care package of all kinds of fun stuff. They really enjoyed doing the mosaics, it was truly a joy to watch them work together!

The middle of March brought the stomach bug to our house, with poor Noah having the worst of it. I decided to get him the much wanted "Batcave" to cheer him up. I think Karis had more fun playing with it than he did.

Look at that sad face!

School has been in full swing after our bout with sickness. Noah has become a master "puzzle doer." (as he calls himself). He doesn't need anyone's help, he can do them all by himself. What a change from just a few weeks ago.

"Look Mommy, I did it all!"

This year of teaching Karis to read has been a true joy, after the initial few weeks, she has caught on so quickly. She is reading well and comprehending easily. I am so thankful for that since I had such a hard time learning to read.

We have also done a few art projects this month. We did a Dr. Seuss fish and an Eric Carlisle inspired butterfly, but my favorite is this one from Karis:

It doesn't get any better than this!

Hope you enjoyed my recap, hopefully April will bring more blogging. It will have to wait until my mom leaves though. She comes next week for four days!
