Photo-A-Day Challenge: Part 11

March 19: Jump! Jump!

Cool effect, yeah?

March 20: New Shoes

I'm a shoe snob. I know what I like, and I hate spending tons of money, so I was thrilled when I found these beauties for $20 only a few days after I realized that my "wear everywhere" shoes had finally gotten a hole all the way through the sole.

March 21: You Are My Sunshine

Love. This. Boy.

March 22: Tasting Trays

This is one of Will's favorite ways to eat lunch. I just get a little bit of a bunch of (mostly) healthy foods and put them in an ice cube tray. He thinks it's way more fun to eat it this way than if I make him a sandwich.

March 23: Playing "Together"

Oh my. Logan has officially started crawling and sibling rivalry has come to life in the Harr household. I have a feeling I'm going to be adding the title "referee" to my resume quite soon.

March 24: Garden Glory

Planting has begun around here. We got some raspberry starts from a neighbor on Monday, we planted some seeds indoors, and our plants are budding outside. I love SPRING!

March 25: "Hide Eggs!"

Easter is in full swing around here. One of Will's favorite activities right now is having Easter egg hunts. He keeps reminding me that on Easter morning there will be treats in the eggs.

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Part 10

March 13: Rainbow Connection

*Note: Will really did love building this rainbow, but these days whenever I interrupt our play to take a picture, he tells me, "No Ma, no pic!"

March 14: Pi Day!

My Sister and her husband have a party/pie baking competition every year on March 14. This year's concoction looked lovely, although it didn't taste as good as I'd hoped.

Don't worry, though. I already have an idea for next year.

We also had the pleasure of hosting my nephew for part of the weekend. I'm not sure when he got twice as big as me, since I still remember when he was Logan's age. Below is a snapshot of our hike on Saturday morning to Bell's Canyon.

March 15: New Life

After waiting several months, wondering if I planted them right, it has been so satisfying to watch these little crocus blooms poke through the soil and blossom.

March 16: Cookie Practice

Speaking of baking competitions, we have a "March Madness Cookie Tournament" this weekend, and Will has been my sous chef. I've been trying to master chocolate chip cookies for years in Utah, and I think I've finally found a good method. Just in time!

Here's the result...yummy-looking, no?

March 17: Bananas Make Good Hair Gel

March 18: Yooo Halloooo!

While out running errands this morning, Will found a large rain spout coming off a building and was entranced by the echo when he talked into it.

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Part 9

March 4: Flashy Lights!

Logan LOVES this toy right now, and anything else that lights up and makes noises.

March 5: Perfect

I love this little boy and his perfect brown eyes, creamy complexion, and thoughtful expressions.

March 6: In the Construction Zone

March 7: BIG Balloon

We went to a wedding luncheon on Friday where the table centerpieces included GIANT balloons which the bride and groom were kind enough to give to all the little kids after the luncheon was over. Will was thrilled! Side note, that little blonde in the picture is my best friend's little boy. They were visiting from San Diego, and we had so much fun!

March 8: Daddy's Scratchy Face

If you're familiar with the book Pat the Bunny, you know that Daddy has a scratchy face. I guess I've read it to Logan a lot lately because he wanted to experience the real deal. :)

March 9: Mommy's Bed is Better

This little guy did not want to nap in his bed on Monday (I blame daylight savings), so he ended up passed out on my bed instead. Love that sleepy pout.
