Full of birthdays, flowers, travel, spring breaks, snow flakes and so much more! Here are a few of the more mundane highlights. Although the photos are a bit mundane, they are certainly things that make me happy to remember them.

| Making breakfast - |
But some mornings...
Breakfast just looks a bit more appealing - maybe it's the fresh organic fruit that was available this week or the homemade peanut butter (see a post about making your own HERE), but I thought it looked pretty enough for a picture - so I took one.
Or 3 or 4... On this morning, I actually sat at the table and read the paper while I ate - normally, I'm running from thing to thing and I stand at the counter and woof it all down - I need more days with a sit down breakfast and time to enjoy what I chew!
On the 18th, my husband turned 49 (I beat him to that number a few months back). He's a true music lover and if there is a microphone available or a dance floor nearby, you can be sure he'll be on it! To celebrate that part of him, my oldest son and I devised this cake decor. We turned his 2-layer chocolate cake into a 45 record. The song title is a long-standing family joke!
We went out for dinner with two of the four kids (the others were off at college/grad school).
The restaurant was having live opera singers that night which was fun.
And we enjoyed our bottle of wine since we had a designated driver with us.
We saved some room for cake and ice cream back at the house while we opened some presents and cards.
Candles out the side of the cake left our record groove decoration in tact.
And even at age 49 - he managed to blow out the 4 candles on one side of the cake and the 9 on the other - all in one breath!
We've had a lot of snow flurries this month - not much accumulation to speak of, but often just enough to salt the grass and coat the cars.
This little dusting arrived right alongside the first day of spring.
Early morning yard outing with the dog, exploring the bits of white fluff on the tree branches.
She couldn't have cared less about the flurries - it was the squirrels that had her attention.
This week I had another coffee drinker hanging about the house - he discovered my new coffee mug... 99cents at the "bargain store." Since he was home for St. Paddy's day, he added the hat. He tried to make a lot of new fashion statements while he was here.
One night he met up with some local college friends and wore these VERY turquoise pants quite unabashedly.
We are almost at the end of the month and we certainly aren't done... we still have two college visits, Easter, youngest son's 17th birthday and who knows...maybe still more snow to come.
It's been snowing most of today. After the early morning accumulation, not much is left though. Check out today's snowy photos in THIS POST.
Come back soon to see photos from my trip to New Orleans earlier this month!
