Got to love Menards!

William had a ton of fun today at Menards, there's the garden center just being set up (no fountains on yet), the door area with lots of doors to open and close, the patio set area with swing chairs, mailboxes and other fun stuff, and seed packets.  I swear we have enough seeds to plant our whole lawn with, we are going to have to pick and choose when we finally put in our garden.

Pictures from the week...

Chilling watching Sophia while Daddy reads.  I had to order 5T pajamas to keep the long torso covered.

William and I made Turtle bread, found an old cookbook with A to Z recipes for kids.

Grandma Mc's new quilt has become a favorite in that it has to come every he goes in the house!

Funny faces at our art table.

William is pretty well potty trained now and prefers underwear to diapers.  We still put them on for sleeping, but he is doing better at telling Mom and Dad when he has to go.  And the accidents he has are smaller, stopped before they get too big.  So that is good, diaper consumption is finally decreasing!

We have been doing a lot of cooking together, William wanted to make pink ice cream the other night so off to the store we went.  And it had to be Pick and Save, because they have the "medium carts" the carts with a small storage area but full height that William can now barely see over.  I am missing my Festival foods, but hopefully the lure of free jello will call William back to Festival soon.  Our strawberry ice cream turned out wonderful; we used a jar of our strawberry jam and might have to make another batch again soon.

Earlier today I saw big fluffy snowflakes again, urgh.  I am so ready for spring.  I want to see flowers and grass and birds and go outside with out hats and mittens.  I hope things turn around in April or I am going to go bezerk with spring fever.

We are off to Minnesota for Easter and look forward to seeing lots of friends and family!
