The "Everyday" Things

It's fun to have breaks and holidays to look forward to, but most of our March was filled with "everyday" things, like softball, painting, and spending time with friends. I know I'm going to forget  some of these times, so I want to make sure I document the everyday as well as the holidays.

We got to visit Daddy at softball practice. Eli (in gray) and Micah (in green) had gotten new ball gloves just a week before this picture and they told everyone that "Daddy got these gloves for us!" It was very special to them that Momma and Joshua stayed home while Daddy took them to find the best gloves.

 Joshua can't play catch yet, but he found this dirt entertaining.

 We've been to lots of games to cheer on "Daddy's girls." Micah (purple) and Eli (blue) often wear their gloves to the game to catch a foul ball.

 Besides softball, we made some scratch-and-sniff paint with Kool-aid packets. Eli especially liked this craft and has asked me to do it again.

 Joshua woke up from nap before I had cleaned up the paint, so he got a turn, too.

 He thought it was finger paint...

 One cold morning (never mind how my children were dressed, it was cold!) we went to pick strawberries with some friends. We got a lot of beautiful (and delicious) strawberries,

 but the best part? Splashing in the puddles after picking!

(Actually, it was very helpful to clean the mud off all their shoes!)

Over the last month or so, Joshua has become very independent with eating. He insists on having a fork or spoon for every meal. While he's not always neat or successful, he sure has fun trying!

 His favorite treat this month was a non-dairy mango sherbet we found at a frozen yogurt place. Despite his expression, he loved it and ate the whole serving!
