March is only half over, but it seems like a long month already....we've seen a lot of John lately, not really for the reason we want, but he's working hard at looking for a new job - while preparing for his Master's Project Presentation. He works so hard! Ian got pink eye for the first time; he kept talking about having a pink eye or a black eye - I guess a boy in his class had a black eye. Ian's school had a read-a-thon, he didn't come close to winning by far (him reading means me reading), but we read for about 7 hours in 7 days - not too bad, I don't think. He got interested in Frog and Toad books and can read them by himself. Levi and Caleb got more interested in books, too, and will sit and listen to stories for a long time. Their current favorite is Mouse and Mole and the All-Weather Train Ride. They'll listen over and over. Three times in a row is about my limit, however! They both mostly have it memorized. It was Dr. Seuss week during the read-a-thon so we've read several of his books, too.
Making a collage is so fun! Thanks, Kellie, for telling me about it! Caleb and Levi both love to use screwdrivers. Caleb said one day, "I need to fix my man. He needs new batteries" (a little train driver man). Ian likes to play with race cars, and draws parking spaces for them. One day Levi said to Caleb, "come sit on my lap and I'll read Thomas to you." And he did! We went to the public library on Dr. Seuss's birthday and they dressed up, Ian in his "Cat in the Hat" hat, Caleb and Levi as Things 1 and 2. We met Thing 1 and Thing 2 there, and the Cat in the Hat. They had some fun projects to do also.
A few more pictures.....
Ian was being a tow truck, towing Levi. He towed him all the way across the room! Most of the time Levi was crawling/being dragged on his stomach.
Three little train engineers!
We tried making our own tortillas. They turned out okay. I should maybe have gone to the demonstration on it, to see how they really should turn out, but they were pretty good. Ian wanted to roll them out - he rolled out almost all of them, which was great - he could roll while I cooked. It worked out well - I'm so glad he's old enough to really be a good help! And still wants to be :)
A new song in the Children's Songbook?
Time for some lessons, it sounds like - they're ready for duets :)

What a great video of the boys singing. Whenever my kids do that and they see the camera they stop singing. They are so cute!
Cathy, they are sooooooo cute. I am very impressed that you made tortillas. I made some before I had kids and kind of pretend I don't know how to now that I have "helpers". They are yummy homemade though.
