On the first day of March, it snowed. A lot. That's OK. I have long since adjusted my expectations of March out here. Out here, instead of looking forward to nicer weather, we can pretty much just expect more snow...until April. So, Josh and Ryan and Dylan built a nice big snowman.
As an added bonus, this snowman even had stick-hair.
Just before the 20th---the official first day of spring, we had our first significant thaw.
The temperatures were probably in the 40's. This called for rolling the windows down in the car and singing loudly. And only wearing jackets instead of coats. And playing on the playground.
On the 20th, the first day of spring, it snowed again.
So, we spent some time at the science museum learning about the water cycle.
And making Cartesian divers.
For the first time, we attended a planetarium show.
Ryan learned how to make grape juice from scratch this month. I had no idea he knew how to do this. Apparently his dad has been teaching him how to cook things in the kitchen. First he gets a cup full of fresh grapes.
He blends it in the bullet.
Then he strains out the skins and pulp.
Adds a teaspoon of sugar, and enjoys his hard-earned juice.
This month we also switched Dylan to a booster.
In preparation for Easter, we made "Easter Rolls." We put the marshmellow inside the roll to symbolize Jesus in the tomb. When we pulled the baked rolls out, the marshmellow was gone and our roll was "empty."
Also, I think this happens at least once a year, when Dylan gets an uncontrollable peanut butter craving and scales all obstacles for a good old handfull of peanut butter.
And so ends March.
