Of course a visit to the fairy tree was our order of business. Finding catkins and coltsfoot as it's in our March bedtime poem. A treasured stick that sadly, had to stay in the forest.

special for daddy
Daddy's favorite animal? Polar bears. Neve drew this polar bear eating the sun and a rainbow just for her "big daddy."
planting party
Noah made all the markers himself. The neighbors joined us for planting. A grub was an unexpected find.

Helping with fresh mulch and amending our garden beds with alfalfa and minerals.

Just out of the shower
Noah is so happy about his hair. He was so excited when his two friends Owen and Hayden made a special trip over just to "check it out". They were all giddy. Noah asked for another haircut tonight. I gladly explained tonight was dad's night. Whew, all three of my lovelies are freshly cut.
ready to celebrate
Balloons from Gran and Papa delivered just before the first guest arrived! Our eye pillows with the lavender the children picked at the lavender festival last summer. Neve wanted "waffle sundaes" so we had carob waffles, berries and vanilla bean cashew creme. At 6am we were in full party gear. Neve picked the fabric and mama made her pants. She was thrilled with the decor and wanted to hand out her eye pillows right then and there.

shorter, shorter, shorter mama!
Noah was mistaken for a girl one too many times. It was happening everyday. He was refusing to take his hood off when we were out.
"Mama, I just don't want someone else saying I'm a girl."
I've been trying to stall. Lee tried, he showed him photos of the gold medal winning "flying tomato". It bought us another 24 hours. But tonight Noah needed his hair cut. This isn't the finished product as he kept running to the mirror, running back asking me to cut more. I tried my hardest not to steer things...but I asked...pleaded really...
"Don't you think it's perfect now?"
"NO. Shorter mama."
So I did it. I was in shock and he was running all around the house with crazy excitement. At bedtime his rose was his new haircut. He gave me a huge hug and a gentle kiss on the nose.
"Mama, you give the best at haircuts. I love you."
Now he looks like he's 15 and I have a big bowl full of beautiful angel hair that I just can't toss in the bin.
