March 2014 was a month jam-packed with birthday parties and small ways to make memories. The girls had quite a bit of time off with conferences and Spring Break, so it was a nice blend of relax time at home and activity when boredom struck. Month In Photos: March 2014
We attended our city’s children’s expo where the twins got to meet, hug and follow Rainbow Dash around like little fan girls. Instead of an autograph book {ponies can’t sign, obviously} the girls instead brought their own much-loved stuffies to represent their huge interest. ‘I love you, look, I have you!!’ – it was so sweet to watch.
Yet my lack of patience this day declared that the lines were far too long, for some of the events at the expo. So I did what any reasoning Mother would do – I bribed. Yep, these sparkly new hats you see in a couple photos are the result of a trade I made with the girls. We don’t wait in bounce house lines and you get a hat! Fair trade, I’d say!
In March, the twins took another month of swimming lessons. I could probably stuff another one in there before summer starts, yet the next few months schedule is already insane. So that’s not going to happen and instead I’ll celebrate that we got through 2 levels in the last couple of months.
Each year the month of March always bring cookie craze, for girl guides. This year is the first time the twins are sparks {the youngest level in guides}, so they too are selling cookies for their troop. Oh hey – I have a trunkful guys, let me know if you want cookies!
As much as I’d like to say that the official mark of Spring brought glorious seasonal-like weather, that would be a lie. While the temps haven’t been too bad {meaning, still too cold for my liking}, more snow has fallen. Actually, we’ve been totally dumped on again. While this has caused a few snarls and growls, you gotta know it has to end soon. I’m holding onto that, and this fact is what’s getting me through the days. Alright, that and making copious amounts of cookies. I win, March.
So, how was your March 2014?

My march wasn’t all that eventful unfortunately. We are deep in the midst of winter still so we didn’t get out and do as much as I would have liked.
I’m so tired of snow too Ellen, I cannot wait for nicer weather!
Bribery works wonders! LOL Looks like your family had a super fun month.
It sure does! 🙂
Keeping track of your life by digital media is amazing. I wish we would had more digital options for capturing memories when our kids were growing up. Soon we’ll have grandkids and I won’t miss a moment!
I agree, I only have a handful of photos of myself as a kid.
It sounds like you had the perfect month, a great mixture of relaxation and fun! That expo sounds fun, and don’t worry, you’re not the only mom who bribes their kids to avoid long lines! LOL!!
haha, thanks Jenn. you gotta do what you have to do, right?! 😉
What a great idea to do a once a month post. This would really help me keep on track of getting my photos into a book at the end of the year.
I’ve been doing this for almost a year Brandy and I love it!
What adorable photos and great memories to treasure! Sounds like a great month 😉 This is such a fun way to preserve memories, I love it!
Thanks Dawn, I so enjoy doing these each month!
cute pictures, my daughter would love the My Little Pony!
Mine are still talking about this experience all the time! So sweet!
Our March was uneventful. Spring break was cold and yucky. I hope to make it up during summer.
I can’t wait to take the camera outside more – without winter coats!!
I love your photo collages… You sure had a very fun March.. mine was just busy.. we are gearing up for our Summer Vacation to Germany so we will be busy for the next 65 days.. but who’s counting :-0)
Thanks Melanie – and wow, that is going to be one fantastic trip, I adore Germany! Have you been before?
Your girls are too sweet. Looks like a lot of fun. Our March wasn’t all that eventful. Looking forward to the warmer weather!!
Thanks Jennifer – the Winter is always so blah for me, I’m looking forward to it too, it’s been a long haul!
Looks like you had a really great March!
Thanks Melissa, it wasn’t too bad considering the weather. Always though, I’m happiest when the suns shining!
Wow, what an exciting month. Seems like y’all had a blast. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
🙂
Awe, great pics! March was great. My daughter turned 6 and I have a new baby so those are both exciting. Having 4 kids means lots of activity every day lol.
You has one AWESOME March 2014!! Congrats and happy belated birthday to your daughter!
🙂
It looks like you have had a busy month! The photo collages are precious! I love the smiles on their faces–especially in the pool shot.
Thanks Pam!
🙂
I agree is should never snow in March, especially once we have passed the official 1st day of spring mark! Oh well at least I know that when it does snow in March here, it doesn’t stick around. I am so ready for real spring to start! as in WARM weather and flowers!
Ahhh, bring it on!!
🙂
Adorable girls! I can see why you had a busy March. We had an especially cold month of March, but at least everyone stayed healthy.. Feels like we are still in February. Tomorrow we are going to be i n the 60’s though. Can’t remember when we last saw that. All the snow will FINALLY melt!
That’s a nice temp – enjoy!!
Sounds like you had a fun March! I’m all about bribery when needed, hah! Love the My Little Pony pic, so cute!
Thank you!
🙂
Our March has been busy with my newborn and my oldest turning 8. But overall it was fun. Love the pic y’all got with Rainbow Dash
Well, happy belated 8th! Great news!
OK, that Rainbow Dash is just awesome! My daughter would absolutely love it! She is crazy about My Little Ponies. So much fun!
omg my kids would FLIP if they met a real MLP pony. holy wow
Mine was awesome! Can’t wait for April too! I love that you are doing a recap monthly post… I want to do one too!
You need to start one Heather, let me know if you do – I’d love to see!
🙂
Cute pictures! My daughter would have gone nuts to meet Rainbow Dash. Looks like it was a fun month for your family!
They were SO excited!
🙂
I love what your doing, such a lovely idea of making a photo album month by month with pictures a lifetime keepsake. It looks like you had a a very busy but fun March, me I did nothing I’m such a boring person lol
Your sweet girls are growing up too fast. They seem to really love the pool too!
It’s funny because all I can think of for March is weather because it was so uncharacteristically cold this year.
Our March was great and most of our pics were taken while on vacation! Love your pics! Especially “Bucket head” – how cute!
Once again a beautiful collage of your girls (and I’d use bribery too to avoid long lines). Too bad I don’t live nearby, I’d take some of those cookies off your hands (or out of your trunk).
Your pictures are more fun to look back on. For me, it’s just snow, snow and more snow.
March was pretty quiet for us. Love the month in photos you do. Your girls are beautiful!
Your girls are growing up so fast!!! Looks like an eventful March! Thanks for sharing!
I have 1 birthday party to go to for 2 people. I think this year May will be my busy month. My sister is due then. She’s have 4 kids then. One has special needs. She may need help. Ya think? I think so. I’ll have her older kiddos over to play.
loved the photos. Winter was long and hard this year, though I did break it up with 2 months in Australia which was marvellous and WARM. I’m looking forward to sunshine and warmth here too – hopefully soon!
Beautiful pictures, pretty girls. I hope the weather will be better soon, I know how you feel, I live at the province next to you:)
I’d say the cute hats are way better than a bounce house anytime!
Your girls always look like they are engaging in a variety of fun, stimulating activities. It’s wonderful to see.
great pictures, I enjoy seeing them grow month to month
Our March is madness LOL.. with 4 family member birthdays, march break, end and beginning of new kids sports its a bit crazy
Cute pictures!
