Where Have We Been???

I realized today that I don't think I've posted anything new on our blog in the past month! March has flown by for us and it has been especially easier with the great, unseasonably warm weather that we've been having (starting tomorrow we're supposed to have temperatures in the high-seventies and lower 80's)!

I will post pictures as soon as I can, but in the meantime, here's what we've been busy with this month:

1. Ella started a gymnastics' class at the Little Treehouse in Chestnut Hill

2. We had the wallpaper removed in our living room, dining room, upstairs' hallway, and stairway.

3. We've collected tons of things to either trash or donate from our house---working on simplifying and decluttering---we caught the Spring Cleaning Bug!

4. Spackled, primed, and painted the rooms in #2 (thanks so much for your help, Dad!)

5. Removed the seat cushion covers, laundered, ironed, and put them back on (they were really taking a beating over the past 5 years, especially when half of them included a child).

6. Rob repaired and replaced our kitchen faucet hosing.

7. We cleaned out all of the flower beds (except one), pruned bushes, and mulched the beds.

8. We "hiked" (using that term loosely when it involves a curious toddler) at Tyler State Park two Saturdays of the month, including with my friend, Beth, when she stayed with us for the weekend.

9. We played outside, in the melting snow and muddy playgrounds lots of days!


So, I have lots of pictures to post of what we've been doing, but until then, here are a few of my most favorites from the month:
