Weeks go by so quick so these weekly wrap-ups are turning into more of a two or three week wrap-up. I have a variety of miscellaneous pictures from March, which I'll use to recap the month so far.
At first glance it appears to be Joseph's birthday, but of course, his is in August. March brings us Warren's birthday. The little kids really wanted Dad's birthday to be a party. The best place I know of to get party supplies is Dollar Tree (where everything's a dollar, except some candy bars, which are only 69 cents). $4.00 later we had all the makings of a party - 1 balloon, 1 centerpiece, 18 birthday plates, and a 60 pack of candles. We didn't use all the candles, but it was nice to actually have enough.
Once the balloon was tied to Dad's chair, Joe sat down and literally didn't move all day. He kept saying, "It's mine, it's mine." I see lots of helium balloons in my future - because let me tell you, knowing exactly where to look for him was pure joy and I need more of that in my life. Keeping track of his wanderings is a full time job. Often I need a few LTE's to help out, too.

Sam, Joseph, Peter, and Maria have been following along with Holy Heroes' Lenten Adventure.

Peter's been sneaking off with my camera lately. He fills the card with pictures like these. ↙

Counting down, remembering to pray for the daily intention, placing coins in the Rice Bowl - Lent is well under way. You can find directions and a free printable for making your own calendar here.

Always playing communion. This little activity keeps her busy for a long time, and she has no problem distributing them to the entire family.

One day the ground is clear, the next it's covered in snow again. I just want the sun - cold March temps are bearable if it's sunny. Amber's already working with Rhythm getting ready for fair.

Now that Sam has turned intermediate, he's advanced to clip shoes. He just bought them in size 13. And he's still growing!

These little dogs live a pretty posh life. They wear sweaters and ski jackets. They eat salmon and bible bread. They have their own stroller and rolling luggage. We get to keep them for another 10 days.
That sums up our March so far.
On the homeschooling front, we're in week 25, which means we should wrap up the year on May 27, just in time to get the garden in.
I hope to be back soon with a number of recipe reviews and a recap of what we're using for math this year and how it's working.
