The Mitchells: March 2010

The Great Outdoors

>> Wednesday, March 31, 2010

"Nature all around us boys. Take it in. Take it all in." One of my many favorite quotes from The Great Outdoors and I can quote 99.9% of the movie. Ask anyone who has had the pleasure of watching it with me. We love the great outdoors and have spent most of the last two days taking it all in. Today I took the boys to the Oxley Nature Center. We saw all kinds of neat things like animal skulls, snake skins, deer antlers, we fed the fish and turtles then we walked the trail around the pond. We were not quite ready to come home so we loaded up in the car and headed to the lake. We threw some rocks in the water and found a few minnows. After naps and snacks, we walked around our neighborhood, blew bubbles in the front yard and opened Easter cards from Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell. It was an eventful day.

Wordless Wednesday

Zoo Day

>> Monday, March 29, 2010

Today was zoo day.

Safety First!

Safety first, that's Rogan's motto. He found a pair of Brice's toy safety goggles and wore them all over the house the other night. Hilarious.

Florida

>> Sunday, March 28, 2010

Brian and I came home very early yesterday. We were home to our house by noon allowing us an extra day with the boys before Brian has to go back to work on Monday. We had a great trip and will go back to the Palm Beach area. It was beautiful and the games were excellent, Cardinals won. When the boys are older we will definitely take them to spring training.

A big thanks to my mom who took such great care of the boys while we were gone!

First Day of Spring

>> Saturday, March 20, 2010

Brice and I planted a few pansies the other day. Now everything looks like this with up to 12 inches of snow expected...

Oklahoma weather they say if you do not like the weather today just wait until tomorrow and it will be something totally different. Happy spring everyone!

Yard Work

>> Thursday, March 18, 2010

Spring is here for today at least. Brice and I got some yard work done. Fortunately, my boys love being outdoors as much as Brian and I do. During Rogan's nap Brice and I planted a few flowers and cut down all the pampas grass. Things are starting to bloom around here and the daffodils are out...but it's Oklahoma and we're expecting snow this Saturday.
