March was most notably the month that our tenants moved out. The duplex was in horrible condition after 20 years. Kyle started the long road of fixing it up. Every Saturday and many nights after the kids went to bed he was ripping up carpet, replacing bathroom floors, painting, repairing, cleaning, sheet rocking, spackling.
In March Hazel also discovered how to open the fridge. Usually she would do this while I was in the shower, giving her a good 20 minutes of trouble-making before I would come down and find her out.
Easter Egg Hunt!
Notice the pile of toilet paper on Dillan's bed. Hazel is hiding a pile of shredded up toilet paper in her lap. This is about 2 rolls worth. They put it all into a brown paper bag that sat by our toilet and took about a month to use up. Hazel was also putting crayons and colored pencils in the cardboard center.
Adorable!
She climbed onto the bathroom counter and got into my makeup and hair goo. The bathroom was a sticky mess. She did a decent job of putting on mascara, didn't poke her eye and actually got some on her eyelashes!
We tried to take a beach trip with Grandma Hardy and some cousins. While following them to the beach I got a flat tire, 45 minutes from home, no cell phone, and I watched them obliviously drive on. Triple A does you no good with no cell phone! I had to change the tire myself, on the side of the freeway. It took some time, and a prayer, but I found all the supplies (which were hidden under the backseat, hard to remove). I started to loosen the lug nuts, unsuccessfully, when a man snuck up behind me. Aah! "Sorry to startle you, but you're doing that backwards (lefty loosy, I'm dumb) can I help you?" He did the rest of the tire change for me. Since the tire was full size and the day couldn't get any worse, we kept going on to the beach.
We never found Grandma or our cousins, but we had fun!
They have a lot of personality!
Another fridge break in. Those are her gnaw marks along the edges.
This is Hazel's grown-up friend Connie. They are playing with some Easter gifts she brought over. What a great friend!
First pigtails!
Dillan called this a superhero mask. Then, he wanted to know what it looked like, so he took off the whole thing and recreated it on the TV for himself to look at.
At Lowe's Dillan and Hazel made monster trucks. When we got home he wanted to paint it. He doesn't usually focus on projects very well, but he did this for 30 minutes, covered the whole car!
Hazel's creation. She placed all the pegs on the pegboard and all the tiny dinosaurs. Not easy for a 2 year old. I love it when they play quietly, and when you go check on them they aren't getting into trouble!
She did NOT want me to take off her favorite pajama pants. So she found a different way of wearing them.
