Retro Wednesday: March

These are some photos from March, 2006. This was one of the rare times that my life felt relatively calm and under control. I was starting to come out of the "new baby" chaos (It usually takes me about two years to adjust!) and nothing else was going on like changing jobs, trying to sell your house, moving, etc. So we actually did some fun things to celebrate March that year.

We shaped breadsticks into shamrocks, sprinkled with green sugar:

(Minnie--almost 9 years old)

And we made lion and lamb cupcakes:

(Atom--16 months old)

Minnie, Jet (5 years old), and Jumble (almost 12 years old)

Since we were in Arizona then, I'm sure that March came in like a lamb and went out like a lamb (a little on the hot side lamb by the the time it went out.) This year I am happy to report that March came in like a lamb. So I guess it will have to go out like a lion. But since it went in and out like a lion last year, I think it owes us to go both in and out like a lamb this year. But my experience has been that the weather doesn't really care about what I think it owes us.

Anyway, it was fun to make the cupcakes. Maybe I'll manage to do it again some year.

(P.S. All ideas were from Family Fun Magazine.)
