We had two of birthdays to celebrate this past month! Martin turned five years old while Tanner turned four! They were very excited to eat their cupcakes and open their gifts. (Probably more excited about opening their gifts!)
St. Patrick's Day was a hoot. Lots of irish music .... we were "trying" to step dance to the music....I sure wish I had a video camera for that one. Also, the kids listened to "Danny Boy". When they sang it, the song was more like, "Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, Danny boy, Danny boy, etc.....the same words over and over again! The week of 3/16 was really a big St. Paddy's day celebration. We read every single St. Patrick's Day book I had (6 of them) over and over and the kids never tired of them! The little leprechauns loved this week!

Drumming to the Pirates of Caribbean
The coolest thing happened today! I've been working with the kids in how to use and play with drums. It's been since December....I use them for counting numbers and telling stories and for rhythmic patterning. Well, today I decided to try a little experiment! I decided to play a "Pirates of the Caribbean" song on the piano. I asked the kids to beat in time. I showed them what I meant and they did it!!!! I was so happy for them! They kept the beat while I played that song!

Snow Angels
The kids have been so happy to play outside! I have been calling the kids my "snow angels" because they've been perfect little angels outside! Between creating actual snow angels (imprints of their little bodies on the snow), eating snow, playing snow tag, creating an "angel cave" and eating more snow, they have been so busy and happy. Our winter has been so cold and with this wonderful warm up outside, these little kids are like rays of sunshine! When I see them so happy, it makes me happy too! I love seeing their little faces alive with joy!
