Spring?? Is that you???

Yes, I shoveled off my grass today so it would dry up faster. There is still snow on the ground, but today the boys and I discovered an earthworm, a lady bug, ants, and other bugs in our front yard (all alive), so I'm determined it's spring.
These pictures are a mix of pictures I've recently got from people from as far back as Christmas, more from the sixtieth reunion, and then a few from April. We've had a good month. We survived Cam being away for two weeks for work, lots of snow (you'll see how we coped with it), and potty training (Micah is doing amazing!).
What are the boys up to? They got out my Shel Silverstein books the other day and have decided they love poems. John will sit with a book for half an hour at a time and totally block out anything else. Micah just begs John or me to read to him. Their favourite:
We gave you a chance
To water the plants.
We didn't mean THAT way.
Now zip up your pants.
Yes, they are definitely boys.
Both boys have been growing quite a bit lately. Micah is losing a bit of his tummy which is very sad. John has turned into quite the diplomat. We visited a potential kindergarten after John had already decided he likes another one (he likes the light table they have). The principal came out and asked John "Are you coming to my school in the fall?" John didn't say "no." He didn't say "I want to go to the other school." He so delicately said, "I'm not sure about that."
Oh, and Micah hurt himself a bit today when he was jumping off the couch. I picked him up and through the tears he said "I'm Micah, not Spiderman." I asked, "Did you think you were Spiderman? What does Spiderman do?" Micah replied, "He swings." If there was any doubt before, I guess his inability to swing from a thread made it all too clear for Micah :)
Okay, time for bed. Happy Easter!
