March came in like a lamb!

We have had many beautiful spring like days here at Twin Oaks.

How refreshing it has been to our bodies, minds and spirits!

I am so thankful for our huge deck off the back of our home – and even more so during mud season.

Melting snow means MUD, and lots of it!

The kids have been playing a lot of soccer on that deck!

When it looks and feels like spring, but the ponds are still frozen hard, you improvise!

We do everything we can on the deck on the warm days – read aloud time, meals, and Addie even worked on her Bible memory with a cute helper in sunglasses.

Tate and Blake scrubbed the deck on a beautiful Saturday morning.

It needed it!

Spring weather brings out the chalk and hop scotch fun.

Our sweet girl only had snow boots to wear because all of her others shoes did not fit her anymore!

She is growing like a weed, I tell ya.

We were trying to save her new shoes for her birthday, but we eventually gave them to her early.

This kid has been getting bikes from the scrap pile at the dump and at Blake’s work.

He fixes them up to look great and work great!

He asked me if I would like to have my own bike this year.

I said “How much is this going to cost me?”

When he answered 20 bucks for a few parts I need, I said sure!!

Isn’t my new bike awesome?!

I think I need to add a basket on the front and the back.

I can’t wait to ride with the kiddos!

Spring also means a haircut for Ruby Jane.

She is SO cute!!

This is how we all look by 9 p.m. after spending so much time outside these days!

Spring brings back smoothie season as well!

I got a smoothie recipe book from the library and I can’t wait to try some of them!

Of course the sky is still breath taking.

Spring sunrises are amazing.

We have already had two more snow storms on the robin’s tail, so hopefully that means we only have one more!

I am sure we will still see more snow this spring.

The last snowfall last year was on April 28th.

Either way, we are thankful for these beautiful warm days!

How I love the change of seasons!

I am thankful to live in beautiful Wisconsin where we get to experience all four seasons each year!

Happy Spring, everyone!!

Hope it is warming up where you are too!!
