March, in general.

Max went to a party for a kid in his class & he refused to let me take any pictures until we left and then he demanded that I take this one of him with "his friend."

Over Spring Break, we made a visit to Ijams with the Watts' girls and spent entirely too may hours hiking, catching things and, apparently, putting out fires. 

Under the list of "Battles I choose," the fireman gear does not make the cut. 

Anderson is in his happiest of places when he has some kind of reptile or amphibian on him, so this day was perfect because we caught ALL kinds of stuff. 

Glowing. 

Pouting. 

I love how Adeline can flow between both Anderson & Max & be friends with both of them at the same time. 

At one point,  Max yelled that he caught a lizard and, because he is 2, I did not actually believe him. Then, I looked up and realized he was right and was so proud of him!!

I got this stinking cute picture of him one day from his school-looking at the worm farm. I will work 9 million hours, but I know my people are doing ok when they are away from me because of the amazing documentation that I get everyday. 

I had to sneak this one day from the outside of his room-look closely at the little firefighter on the rug, raising his hand like a little student. 

In an amazing twist, I WON this in a box of fruit loops. With the sale price & coupon, the box was .54, so throw in a really expensive tablet and I think it was a really nice deal. 

Noni took Max to eat lunch with Anderson one day and they clearly demonstrated all of their manners at the table. 

We do not get to see our favorite Brimers nearly as much as I would like, but when we do, the kids don't miss a beat playing with each other! I love how Lucy can totally hold her own with all of the boys! Also, how great will it be when Charlie is in the mix, too??

A boy and his Bop. 

All Anderson ever wants in the entire world is to be a car rider or a walker and I took off early one day and met him as a walker. I swear he won the lottery that day and never stopped smiling. 

Also, he broke his glasses (again,) which is why they are missing. When I first got there, I kept looking for him in the line and did not even recognize him. Also, shout out to Bobble Cole for the water bottle!

We made another visit to see our Bristol  cousins and hung out at a super crowded but fun museum. 

Baby Levi and Bobble Cole were there!

I loved Max's focus in the little grocery story. He was really cute studying the fruit before he put them into his cart. 

Anderson & I found 23 worms that we gave to these guys to play with and they were so happy. Clearly, Noni was also intrigued by them. 

I mean, how cute are these little BOY cousins? Max was so proud to show Baby Levi the worms. 

Anderson always needs creatures near/on him. 

Easter Egg Hunt!

Anderson has to make everything into a huge competition. Love sweet Lily in her nightgown. (Nicole-she is sweet, don't disagree with me.)

Noni bought this really cute cookie decorating kit for the kids and they had so much fun decorating eating the sprinkles. 

So grateful for our cousin time. 

Also, in a "It Keeps Getting More Free" twist, we sort of invited ourselves to one of Nicole's friend's daughter's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese & the boys had SO much fun!

Actually, Anderson proved that he doesn't always want to beat up his younger brother and used all of his tickets to get Max a generic Lego Dump Truck kit. It was so sweet and he was so proud. 

Also, I hate all Legos-generic and real. Just for the record. 

My boys love nothing better than just spending time outside and Anderson found this little flower at Noni's  and decided to protect it. He was so proud of it.
