Wow, this weather we've been having is simply amazing! We've been in the high 70's & into the 80's now for almost a week & it's mid-March. I saw on the news the other day that the normal high temperature for this time of year is 44 degrees! And although we've been enjoying the beautiful weather it's a little freaky that it's so warm. I even had to mow the grass last night. It was sooo long in the back yard.
These pictures are from a few days ago when we went for a morning play at the park. The girls are all dressed a bit warm but it was a cool morning. Hard to believe they've been wearing tank tops & dresses for the past 5-7 days! Maeve just loves the swing...
Lots of swinging beauties...
Her long lashes are unbelievable!
Love this picture of daddy & his littlest M...
There's nothing more fun that static hair after going down the slide! She must have went down 20 times in a row. The static was really building up...
And Marin on the big web. She loves climbing all over this thing.
We're still forecasted for 80's yet today & tomorrow. Then we're back into the 60's which is still pretty warm for this time of year. I'll take it though, we are having so much fun being outside all day/evening. The girls are all sleeping well after all the fresh air! xoxo
Look at this big girl! She's now 9 months old & has been moving all over the place for some time now. Now she's starting to let go & stand by herself. I can't believe how big she is all of the sudden. She's really getting into EVERYTHING & there's no way to stop her. It's hard when she's this cute!!!
And this is what the girls have been doing at the dinner table...
Bubbles in the milk!
I know, we shouldn't let them "play" at the dinner table & we usually don't. But their little laughs were so cute & it was St. Patricks day so we let them have their fun just this once!
Marin was so excited that a leprechaun visited her classroom this week too! He left a little note in the book the teacher was reading & a piece of gold {aka candy} for each child. She must have told the story 5 times. It was such a big deal! xoxo

This is what Margaux loves to do with her hair every day these days...
Yes, you see two head bands & about 6-8 barrettes in her hair... all at once!
She's so proud of the fact that she can finally do her hair all by herself. And she does not accept any assistance at all {that creates a monster!}. She's such a cute little kid & so full of spunk!
And here is Miss Maeve sound asleep in her jumperoo. Gary & I were just in the kitchen & could hear the thing making all kinds of noise but then all of a sudden it slowed down a bit. We looked in just as her little head was bobbing & about to fall down onto the padding in front of her...
Guess she was tired!
So cute. She's the only one of the three to ever do this. I always see little kids just passed out in the weirdest places. Our kids NEVER did that. Only on the rare occasions {like this} or when they are sick. They look so darn cute when it happens, I wish it would happen more often! In case you are wondering, I did carry her to bed & didn't let her nap there!
Can't wait to get outside this afternoon. 60 degrees today... 70 tomorrow!!! Waaaa Whooo!

Swim lessons! The girls were so excited to start the spring session that they asked me to sleep in their swimming suits! Brrr. Not when it's 20 degrees outside ladies.
Marin is in level 2 with her bff Olivia...
Margaux pre1 {This is her first swim lesson ever! She had to be 3 to start @ this pool.} 
She was soooo shy, which was crazy for Gary & I to see since she's definitely our wild child! She told me today {in her cute little munchkin voice} "Mommy, next time at swimming lessons, I'm going to listen to my teacher & do what she tewls me!" She didn't cry or anything just stood there mute & not really participating in the water games. We'll see how lesson #2 goes this afternoon! She's soooo excited to go back. She looked soooo tiny next to her classmates!
Marin jumped right in & picked up where she left off in the fall. {They didn't have a winter session.}
She was swimming like a champ. She hasn't stopped talking about her teacher since Tuesday. "Mom, my teacher Maura is sooooo pretty isn't she?!"
Margaux working on her back float skills...
Marin & Olivia {a little blurry Gary!} It's so fun watching them play together during class. Tweedle dee & tweedle dum for sure!
Nap time! My favorite time of the day.... gotta get some rest in before the swimming lessons! xoxo
