In Like A Lamb and Out Like A Lion!

March started out fabulous! We spent the week playing outside...and most days without coats!

Daddy was trying to grow grass here in the fall...now it's just Bruiser's construction site!

Cheese!

Tater!

Then the rain hit and we spent a LOT of time inside!

Miss Wiggles ate her first ear of corn!

And we headed to a local hockey game on Friday night. Daddy's company has season tickets that they raffle off for each game and this week he won! So we took all three...yes, all three!...kids to the game. We left after the second period, telling the kids that they were never going to a game again! It was that bad. Bruiser fussed and wiggled and screamed until he fell asleep on my lap. Tater bounced all around, kicked all the people in front of us, and managed to spill her water bottle into the hood of the man sitting in front of Daddy. Miss Wiggles was the best of the three! She sat and drank her bottle and clapped her hands every time everyone else did!

Don't you love Tater's fashion sense?

Bruiser tickling Wiggles!

Sibling kisses!

Then Saturday we headed to Tumble Tots...because we didn't get enough torture Friday night! Bruiser wanted nothing to do with the activities until they pulled the parachute out. I think we need to find a parachute class and he'd be thrilled!

And that's where he laid until the parachute came out!

We followed Tumble Tots with some shopping and a work party. Then more shopping Sunday after Sunday School (because we forgot to change the clocks and missed church!). We'll share the newest "members" of our family another day...it's always fun to treat yourself to some new toys once in a while!

Hockey, Hockey, Hockey!

When we asked Bruiser what he wanted to do for his birthday, he decided to go see our city's local hockey team play a game...with a few helpful suggestions from Mommy and Daddy, of course! He had been to one hockey game before with Papa and loved it...so it seemed like a great place to spend his birthday weekend.

Bruiser and Daddy before the game started.

Where Bruiser spent much of the game. He was tired and enjoyed some time cuddling with Daddy and having quality time with his thumb!

Bruiser did awesome at the game. He sat and watched the game...he was really good at keeping his eye on the puck! He even lasted the entire game...and into overtime! He did mind the noise a bit but felt better when he was sitting on a safe lap!

We can't wait to take him again! As we left, he asked, "I play hockey, Mama?" And my answer? "Maybe!"
