March is here!

It's almost Spring time already?..

This weekend was just beautiful. No excuses to stay indoors!

First thing Saturday morning I woke up to a surprise.

As I came out of my room, I saw Gabe and Jon already awake and dressed! They threw their arms up int the air with: "Surprise! We are twins!" Both had green t-shirts and jeans on and already brushed their teeth.
We waited for Larissa to get up, had breakfast and then decided to see what's "cooking" at Michael's Craft store. This weekend we made some fake desserts (fridge magnets).
Watching kids making crafts made me really want some real dessert, so we made an extra stop on the way home at Rose's bakery and brought home quite a selection...

Sunday started off much slower than Saturday. We slept later, moved slower... kids fought more.
We wanted to go to OMSI again, but so many things got on the way, that instead of getting there at 10am, as planned, we were barely able to get there by 2pm.

A not-so-quick stop at the shoe store (kids couldn't decide what they liked. Jon wanted a Superman shoes and Gabe wanted matching shoes with Jon, but not the Superman kind. Larissa wanted anything Hanna Montana, and that's more $$).
Then we just had to pull over when we saw a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop:
Then, we decided to check out Portland Saturday Market, but after trying to find a parking spot for over 15 minutes, we gave up, and thought OMSI sounds much better. If nothing else, they have more parking available.

Larissa found a picture by an 11 year old (of a shoe design) with a comment "Beat that!!!", so, naturally, she accepted the challenge. Took her a while, but she did a really nice job. Too bad she wouldn't let me keep the picture, she pinned it up next to the challenge drawing.

Gabe and Jon found joy in playing Titanic game with their plastic turtles. They would put them on a boat, then sink the boat, all while yelling "Sink the Titanic!"
