March 2015

March 2015 began with lions: the stuffed ones at the library that Clarissa loves. Here she is having a puzzle party with them:

Indoor activities were a very good thing, considering how much snow we had on the ground:

Mom and Amanda took a trip to a library to see Patricia Polacco:

On the way back, they tried some exotic cheese sandwiches. This one has macaroni and cheese with bacon:

And this one has cheese and Nutella:

Our faithful van got a new windshield. The old one was a casualty of the cold (defrost sloooowly, not quickly!)

Our library had a Dr. Seuss party!

We also celebrated "Pi" day, with both pizza pie and dessert pie.

Next came the Shamrock Shakes of St. Patrick's Day:

The younger Muffins got to go to a March birthday party for a friend:

This may look like a picture of Mom's sweatshirt (and it is), but it is also proof of the amazing things a cell phone camera can do. Take a look at the snowflake on the right:

Curtis can also do amazing things, like clean the kitchen floor all by himself!

Mom visited the Muffins' school and found this nifty thing that Jared made to celebrate the 100th day of school:

Toward the end of the month, we took a family outing to check out fun things at a thrift store. We call this shot from the evening "Dora and Fedora":

Mom took a day off while Dad watched the Muffins. Destination: Orchard House, where Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women.

One of the boys may or may not have decided to cut his own hair (which may or may not have resulted in a buzz by Dad). However, it is certain that Jared and Curtis did indeed climb a tree.

Another fun shot from the end of the month of Clarissa:

And Clarissa again, playing at the library:

And, last but not least, a picture of picnicking sisters:
