After a most gorgeous February, March didn’t seem to want to follow suit. We had snow (thankfully only once), some warmer temps, some cooler temps, and like typical spring - lots of unpredictability. We also had the start to the soccer season for Lyla. It kicked off with a tournament in McLean. The first day was beautiful - hot in fact. The next day was frigid!!! It was good for the girls to be back in playing form again. They had off most of the winter (except for some indoor sessions), so this was a good test for them getting back to “real” play again.
The life of a sibling during games and tournaments changes like the weather. One day the sibling is climbing trees, having fun, and enjoying herself. The other day the sibling is freezing and not so happy under a large blanket trying to stay warm and dry with hot chocolate. Hopefully there will be more sunny and enjoyable days this season than the alternative!

Spring snapped back into a cold spell for Lyla’s class field trip to Morven Park. I got to go along as a chaperone as the kids because Soil Scientists and learned about the best types of soil for growing plants, did some soil experiments, and got to blend up their own mix of premium soil for growing some green beans in their classroom.
Then thankfully the warmth decided to come back this weekend some. It rained so much on Friday that Lyla’s Saturday game got postponed, but Sunday was warm and sunny an a beautiful day for soccer and playing outside afterwards.
Cayenne and Nina soaked up some sun while Mark and I washed cars and Lyla played in the water. The day would have finished out great, but poor Lyla ended up getting sick later in the day. I would have never guessed it was coming as she had so much energy earlier in the day, but one Simpson is down and out with the stomach bug. Hopefully she’ll be the only one!!!
