Momma and I decided to go and do schoolwork outside last Friday because it was very nice out. I hope it warms up some more so we can work outside more often. I like it better.

Happy First Day of Spring!
Today is the first day of spring. Flowers are starting to come up!
I found some crocuses. The purple are my favorite ones. If there were pink ones, those would be my favorite.
I will look for more flowers, because different new kinds will be coming out soon.
Trying Something New
Oma brought us some sprinkles for on toast when she went to Bonaire last year.
Some of them look like mini mini marshmallows. Some are like shredded pieces of chocolate. And the others are like chocolate sprinkles for on donuts.
We had them for lunch today. I did not like the shredded ones, but they were Andrea’s favorite. The others were good too, but the pink and yellow ones were VERY sweet.
Just for fun we looked it some words. Hagelslag means hailstorm. Vlokken is shavings and vruchten hagel are the fruit flavored ones. We learned there are some licorice flavored ones called muisjes which means little mice. Daddy and I might like those!
Thank you Oma and Opa for the special treat.
Rainy Morning
It was a very rainy morning.
Jump in Puddle
…and get your friend wet day!
Momma really did not like me getting her wet, so I got Adrian wet!
Sledding
I went sledding yesterday. We had very much fun. Mark and I went sledding and we were seeing who went the furthest. I am pretty sure Audrey won. It is hard to tell who won because sometimes you turn. Adrian was very close to first.
The best part was when we started spinning. We hit a bump and started spinning. It was very fun.
We probably won’t go sledding again until after Mark goes to school. I am glad we could go twice with him this holiday.

First Sledding of the Year
I went sledding with my big brother. Every year we make a sledding hill on our porch. Then we have to try it out to see if it is doing good. Once it is done, we can go down as much as we want. Sometimes it will break and it isn’t so good for sledding until we fix it. Then we wait for more snow to build it back up.
I hope for more snow tomorrow and the next day!
Betsy and Lisa
These are my friends, Betsy and Lisa. They started out as little brats because they were always jumping up and down. But as they got bigger, they stopped jumping. They are a lot more fun to play with now! Especially when they want to get petted, they like to snuggle.
I was hiding from the puppies in this box. She tried to make me pet her. It worked! Another time, the other dog followed me in! Once I start petting them, they follow me when I walk away.
They are the neighbors dogs. They live outside all the time or in their barn. They really like it! 
They live with the goats now. They do not guard the alpacas because the alpacas are all be adopted into new families. The dogs are learning to guard the goats like alpacas, but it hardly ever works because some of the goats, especially George, fight the dogs for their food!
Learning to Make Candy!
Momma said I was big enough to learn to make simple candy. Here is my recipe.
Melt a good tasting chocolate. Add a few handfuls of chopped nuts; I like walnuts best. Then mix in small marshmallows or cut up large ones. We tried the dehydrated ones this time and we like them better than the white ones. The candy is crunchy.
Put them in the freezer to get hard. Break them into smaller pieces.
Then you eat the candy! But they taste better if you share first.
