March Madness...

....No, NOT the basketball kind (though the last few minutes of that Purdue game last night were crazy, and disappointing), I'm talking about this weather madness! 80 degrees and sunny all last week?! And the first part of this week?! Well, aside from this morning's overcast/looking like it's going to rain any second (putting a damper on my plans to take a walk this morning) weather. This past week has been amazing. I'm loving this so much. Everyday I'm excited to wake up and get the little man outta bed so we can get our day started. We've played outside a lot, gone on many long walks (I even got brave and can handle Oscar aaaaand the stroller!), played in the pool a few times (he even liked it when the water was bath water temp!), and had lots of family fun.

We're finally over the mild respiratory infection Jack had last week, which was the cause of that pesky fever that stuck around for a week! Though now, with the onset of this nice weather, comes allergy season. I was so excited to get the house opened up and enjoy the fresh air, but my allergies could only take a few days of that. Our a.c. is on now :-(  It seems as though Jack might have been lucky enough to inherit some of his mom's terrible seasonal allergies, he's been sooo snotty! It's clear though, making me think that it's allergies. We turned the fans on and let the house air out for a few days, and right when we did that, his snot factory went into working overtime! He's in good spirits and doesn't seem to be too bothered by it, which is always nice. Me, on the other hand, I'm very high mantenance when it comes to allergies, can't have fans blowing on me at all. I had to sleep with the pillow pretty much over my face the other night since it was hot enough to have the fan on. But, I'm still loving this weather.

My grandma and mom were up one day last week, so we were able to take Jack and Oscar to the park to play for a bit. Jack loves the swings, and Oscar loves anything outside :-)  Our plans for St.Paddy's day fell through, so we ended up inviting Matt's brother Nick over, and the big boys threw around a football while Jack and I played in the water in his new pool. On Sunday everyone woke up feeling pretty crummy, but luckily as the day wore on, we got to feeling better. That was the boys' first flag football game of the season. Jack and I didn't go, but we all got together at Nick's place afterwards for a nice lunch with the whole family. I can't wait for the summer months that are sure to bring more fun weekends like this! We've got 2 weddings, a trip to a lakehouse for a long weekend, and some very important birthdays coming up in the next few months! I'll leave you with some pictures from the week and weekend:
