March has been a busy month - which explains why I haven't been blogging! St. Patrick's Day was never a holiday I celebrated much as a kid, but I really got caught up in the festivities this year. AJ had a school assignment that required him to design and build a leprechaun trap. Apparently a leprechaun visits the 1st grade classrooms every year, making the toilet water green and leaving notes and candy. So now AJ believes in leprechauns.

I've been savoring the simple and joyful moments with my boys, like lazy Saturday mornings watching cartoons, wrestling matches in the living room, cookie baking, and spontaneous trips to the Children's Museum. Jordan had his kindergarten evaluation this month, and it made me realize how quickly this phase of life will pass.
