Spring fling

I am loving this unseasonably warm weather, it is an awesome March spring fling.  Jason came across a garage sale in our neighbourhood yesterday and told me I should go check it out when he got home.  Can do!  It turned out I knew the family that was having the sale so we chatted and I picked up some great Kindermusik musical instruments for Sophie and a few books as well.  I got Lucas a riddle book that he has been trying out on us ever since.  I am so ready for garage sale season, I love that I got to start two months earlier than usual!

Lucas arrived home from a couple days at his Oma's for March break and the three of us went to watch his skating lesson.  He is doing really well, he has his last class next week and I am sure he will pass this level with flying colours.

This weekend Sophie is feeling better (hurrah!!) and we spent some time outside.  I cleared out the winter arrangements on the front porch and set up a spring one.  It still needs a little something but I am happy with it nonetheless.

In the afternoon we headed to the park and Lucas showed off his mad basketball skills.  He is loving basketball right now.  March madness is at our house.  He is shooting hoops in the backyard morning noon and night, he just can't get enough.  I am sure that 2 months from now when soccer starts that will be the obsession, but for now, hoops.

There is no question where he gets the skills or the obsession from ;)

Sophie never lets herself get left out of the action

Sitting there watching him play, looking almost like a teenager, my head filled of memories of Lucas and Sophie when they were born at the hospital in the background.  It doesn't seem like it was that long ago and I can remember every minute of being there with both of them.  But how time flies.  Sophie turns 6 in a few days, we are so excited!
