Kites

The Zilker Kite Festival is held every year on the 1st Sunday in March. We try to go every year, but this year we decided it would be best not to go. Joshua has been a few times but has never really flown a kite. Dan and I usually are the ones flying the kites or untangling them or climbing in trees to get kites( the tree climbing is Dan), etc. We end up chasing kids( my nieces and nephew have gone with us a few times) and not really enjoying the kite festival. We bought our kites and stayed near the house. It was a pretty day and the perfect weather for flying kites. We took the kites down to the park in our neighborhood, because it is pretty open. I didn't expect much out of Joshua because he mostly watches when there is something new, but he surprised me and really got into it. He loved it!!! He flew his kite all by himself! I think Dan enjoyed himself too, in the fact that he actually got to fly the kite instead of untangle one. Joshua picked out his kite and Dan's kite( both Lightening McQueen). I think we made the right decision by staying home and having our own little kite festival. I have posted some pictures below. Enjoy!














Milo even got to go with us.





Towards the end he was all about the playscape

School Days

Joshua has been super busy at school lately. Last month was jammed packed and March is looking to be the same with projects and parties! I have posted one of the projects that they did. February is transportation month at school, so they have a transportation parade and his class got to design their very own cars. They also had a valentines party among other things. March started off with a celebration for Dr. Suess. Last Friday each class was responsible for using one of the books by Dr. suess as a theme. Joshua's class had the book "Ten Apples Up On Top". So they wore red and shared caramel apples with everyone. They also had a picnic lunch outside. The kids loved this. I actually had to make Joshua's lunch!! It was weird, because I have never had to pack his lunch for school before. They have totally spoiled me in that way. He still has a St. Patrick's day party, western day and their monthly trip to the library and so much more. He is having a good time staying busy. I have posted some pictures below. The first one is just cute and the second one, well I had to throw it in here because it makes me proud. He spelt this word all on his own, no help from anyone! Smart kid! Enjoy the pictures!

Suds of Fun

Every once in awhile we put dawn in our pond to get rid of some of the slime and gunk that collects in it. I accidentally added a little too much dawn this time and we have had suds or bubbles as Josh likes to call them for days! He loves going out and looking at all the bubbles. He told us it looks like a bubble bath! In these pictures below we started a little early checking on the bubbles, that is why he is in his pajamas! Pajamas and crocs, so stylish! Lol
