In like a LION...

Our March started with SNOW, Janie's birthday in the Wonder Building, 2B Basketball with the Kinzers, playing Cascadia (Mom's new bday game!), doing pottery with Megan while she was home from school in Hawaii, Granny adjusting to life across the street from S&C, the last of indoor soccer practices, and Hazel job-shadowing with me at 9MFP!

Bees in the Grain Hex?

I got MASON BEES this year!  Melissa gave me the hive, Katie told me how to get bees at Ritters.  What fun!  Now I need clay and water and blooms so they'll STAY!  

Love these Catan faces...

August Staycation

Jeff and I got to go away for a couple of nights!  Kaitlyn offered to watch our kids so we could go somewhere, so we took her up on it!  Everywhere we looked to go was booked and/or too far to go for a quick couple of nights, so we ended up staying in the Davenport Tower for two nights.  We acted like downtown people, going to dinner and playing games at Uncles a couple nights in a row, and we spent Saturday hiking the Rocks of Sharon, just south of Spokane--a place we LOCALS hadn't yet hiked.  It was DREAMY.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

A weekend of being spoiled by Kaitlyn--for all of us!

Sleeping Queens

Our friends, the Schneringers, are great board game advisors.  When they visited this fall, I asked them for a list of their favorite games for their kids.  Sleeping Queens was near the top of their list as a family game, and we enjoyed it all fall. (and we bought many sets to give families for Christmas!)
