March might have been an extension of winter, but on St. Patrick’s Day weekend you had two very special visitors to warm you up: Mimi and Doc! They hadn’t seen you for a while and it was very exciting. They brought you a special shirt just for St. Patricks, which you wore very well.
While they were here, Mommy and Daddy slept in your room. Of course you loved sneaking in bed with us. You proved you have your Mommy’s sleeping disposition though, when I tried to wake you up before you were ready.
We also took Mimi and Doc to some of your favorite places; Pasta Blitz, Eggspectation and Bean Hollow.
You almost drove Doc crazy with your ability to keep taking off your gloves faster than we can put them on you. But you made Mimi happy by playing puzzles with her. While we were in Ellicot City, Mimi almost bought an antique chair, but Mommy did buy a piece of art for the house. It was a short visit and you were very sad to see them go.
When spring weather finally arrived, it did so with a nice series of warm weekends (we’re not going to mention those two days where it rained like a monsoon and that one day when it snowed again). So we’ve all tried to use them to maximize our fun.
Mommy replanted her AeroGarden plants so they would produce tomatoes and peppers all summer long. You were immensely helpful, carrying shovelfuls of dirt to new pots, helping put the spikes in and generally holding on to things Mommy needed you to hold on to. You also ate one of the very not ripe tomatoes and decided you really shouldn’t have.
This past weekend we went to Washington DC to see the Cherry Blossom Festival. It was packed with people, but after a long walk up and down the Mall, we saw the Martin Luther King Jr. monument, The Korean War monument, the Vietnam War Monument and a LOT of cherry trees. We even sat for a bit in a glade as you shook the mature blossoms off some stems, ran around a lot and met some new friends. On the way home, we stopped at Starbucks near Laurel and you amazed us with a trick.
Finally, this weekend we went to the Maryland Zoo’s “Bunny Bonanzoo”. You hunted some Easter Eggs (not much of a “hunt” really, but more like a harvest), traded them for some chocolate and then we were bored with the Bunny Bonanzoo. So we went over the hill and into the zoo to ride a train, pet some goats, see the elephants (where you fell asleep), and then Mommy and Daddy continued to walk, seeing giraffes, an okapi, and a great chimpanzee exhibit.
But tomorrow is the big day! Easter. What will the Easter Bunny bring??
It's Campbell Time!
