fresh air and birthday cake!

well, march arrived quite quickly for us this year!  we have welcomed warmer temps (highs have mostly been in the 40s) and haven’t seen too much snow lately!  i do love playing in the snow, but it’s also nice to be able to play outside with my bike, swingset, sandbox and sidewalk chalk!  here are some pictures of me and my friend maggie riding our bikes on the greenway and at the tot lot.    

a couple weekends ago, mommy and i took a road trip to holly springs for amy’s birthday weekend.  the weather was very warm, with highs in the 60s and even the 70s on the day we arrived.  we did get to spend time outside playing in the yard and also visited a couple different parks.      

amy had an ariel party for her birthday and she got the coolest present from her parents – a bean bag chair!

       

i also went to another birthday party this past weekend for my friend elizabeth, who turned 4, and her little sister mary kate, who turned 2.  (their real birthdays are actually a week apart, but they have a baby brother due in a few weeks so their mommy thought a joint party might be easier and more fun!)  elizabeth is in my dance class so they had the party at the dance studio.  i loved every second of it because it was just like dance class but there were also presents and cake!  

this is a busy time of year for birthdays!  i have another party tomorrow for a another friend of mine who is in my preschool class!  more cake and fun!

spring fever already???

so far, this february has been good to us!  we have had a few snow days and i also battled a stomach bug and runny nose, but i’m better now and back at school and the temps this week have been well above freezing during the day!  we spent some time outside playing this past weekend since it was around 45 degrees.  it was great being on the swingset again and drawing on the driveway with my sidewalk chalk.  i am planning to get my bike some ride time this week as well.  mommy and i are going to holly springs for amy’s 5th birthday this weekend and the high there friday is forecasted to be 74 degrees!  now that is WARM for february!!!

 

monday was valentine’s day and i was quite busy preparing for the big day for the past few weeks.  i made my own special valentines for my friends at school.  mommy and i also made cookies.  they were shaped as hearts and lips!  i got valentines from all my classmates and many suckers and some candy hearts!  i also got a package in the mail from grandma and grandpa and mimaw and papaw with some sweet valentine wishes and treats!

   

monday was also watch day at dance class.  mommy and daddy both came into the studio to see what we have been up to in dance class these days.  i loved showing off all our moves and they enjoyed seeing all our favorite dances to special songs like the merry-go-round song and the bunny song. 

      

here are a few pictures of me at my CASA! 

our trip to iowa

it seems like it was so long ago!  we went to iowa last month for two weeks and had a late christmas celebration with my extended family up there.  it was a great trip and i enjoyed spending time with everyone and being spoiled by my grandparents, especially during the week when mommy and daddy were in jamaica!  i was very lucky to be able to stay in iowa and play!  i am asking quite often to go back, but i know that we can’t go for awhile since it is a very long drive!  hopefully when we go back in the summer it won’t be so cold!
