March in Minnesota

In Minnesota in March, you never know what you're going to get. Comes in like lion, out like a lamb, the second snowiest month (usually), so when it's 60 degrees and sunny, you take advantage. For example, Wednesday, we let the girls play outside when we all got home. Well.....Erin played. Sara just hung out. I got the Christmas lights down (finally!....well, most of them). We saw our neighbors. It'd been a while.

Erin colored the driveway with chalk. You can tell how much she's grown. Last year she just drew a few random lines. This year, well.....see for yourself...

Big giant blobs of colored chalk. And using her little toy planters to hold all of her different colored chalk. Yep, she's definitely gotten better. I think she called it a flower, but I'm not sure.

Honestly, I just can't get over what a big girl she looks like in this picture. She's not even three yet, but she looks so much older.

Daddy brought Sara outside to experience the great weather. She also wanted to show off the great daisy barrette that they put in her hair at daycare. They're also the ones responsible for Erin's ponytail. There are times I think that hair salon is a game they play on a regular basis. They have so much fun doing the girls' hair.

When it was time to clean up, Erin definitely helped. And she's way more possessive of her garden tools this year. Who knew? Maybe she'll be able to actually help Daddy this year when it comes time for gardening.
