Beautiful March weather..

For the most part March has been very nice with temps in the high 60's and low 70's...so that means getting out and doing some yard work...discussing what changes are going to be made and just generally cleaning up the flower beds and lawn..

Of course Mason finds all the mud and Shooter is right along with him...

Mason loves to play in the sandbox with his cars, trucks, tractors and whatever....
Shawn likes to play ball and of course Mason is right there too...

On Thursday I went down to Kara's so I could go to Trevor's choir concert...the junior high are going down to play at the beginning of the games in Milwaukee.

Friday was Emily and Erin's 10th birthday.....I stayed to help get their friends from school for their party.

Mason and Daddy after loading up the leaves..

Em and Erin both decided that they wanted dirt cake for their party...after they ate them
they were going to plant beans in the pots...

table...

This table  belonged to one of Chris' grandparent and no one else wanted it.....so I am using it for my table in my little house.. My big table found and home at Levi and Kayla's home.

I painted it black and the black chair came from Goldie and long time ago...the white chairs are a garage sale find and are just the rightness of shabby!

March snow....

Trevor had solo ensemble last Saturday....so I went down there Friday afternoon before we got our big snow...Emily took these pictures of the pretty that it makes. We have not had a lot of  snow this winter and most of the time it melted soon after it came....Winter Wonderland!!!

Trevor participated in  four different things and a First on all of them...going to this reminded me of the time when we went with girls.

boy...dog....snow...

Tuesday we got a little bit of snow..(most is gone now) I was watching Mason for the morning and soon I could feel the door from the house to the gargage open....( a new thing that he can do is open the doors)... so I went to see what he was up to....WELLLLL the garage to outside doors were open too AND out the window I see Mason and the dog heading for the woodshed...my first thought was that uncle Bob-Bob was out there.....but no just the boy and his dog and a snowshovel!!! Oh and for shoes Mason was wearing a  pair of Dad's clogs!!!!!  NOW the dead bolt is on when I'm watching him!!!!!!!

So for their outside play I let them go out on the deck to play in the snow....they can't get off the deck except to go through the house....the first picture is Mason's toys...he brought them in when he was done with them...!!! They were both wet but happy when they come in!!!

what is Mason doing

helping Granny.....

fixing a lotion potion!!

sitting in a box eating popcorn..
do you think he has any relationship to Great-grandpa Krisher and
Grandpa Harold!!!

in the kitchen...

This week Chris put the rolling shelves in the 3 cupboards that did not have them ... and then I cleaned them and arranged them...I really like them for finding stuff and putting it away....

Then  the cookbooks needed a new home....so this shelf had give up the back of it to them....
I found a piece of John Deere material in my stuff so sewed  up a little curtain to cover the junk stuff that was up there and now moved to the front.

It was fun sewing this little curtain because I finally had someone look at and fix my sewing machine...before it was very frustrating...the bobbin was the problem.

Mason to Granny's.....

Whenever I go downstairs in the evening Mason always wants to come too....he'll stand at the gate with he sad face and saying "grania"

So this afternoon I came down and it was the same thing...he came to visit...first thing he gets is an old popcorn tin that  has some old kitchen toys in it....Pretty soon I hear him in the fridge and he comes to me with a can of pop and one of the little cups from the dish set......of course Granny gives in!!!

cup of "tea"
