Setting the Clocks Back
We set our clocks forward today and it is going to take some use to being woken up by the sun before my alarm goes off. The boys cleaned their room so I took them outside for Adventure. Ronan dressed as Indiana Jones. Love the sun as we walk. The flowers were out in bloom. We enjoyed a picnic lunch in the park to take use of all the warm sun before we go back to cold weather.
On another note: When I was stateside, I got so addicted to soda. I would go to the McDonalds drive through in Tucson just to get a large diet doctor pepper no ice, because it was cheaper than getting a small bottle or can. When we got to England we had a few coca colas and fantas, because the recipe here is much different (way fizzier too) and ive always preferred it. But then we just stopped buying it and onlydrinking just spring water, carbonated water, and tea. I broke down recently and bought a soda because i was very thirsty after work and there were no bottle waters left in the machine. I had two sips and threw the bottle out because it was so sweet to me. I’m glad I finally got the caffeine/sugary drinks out of my system and broke the addiction. Now if I can just finalize my addiction to carbs and I can really go all out on Paleo.

Setting clocks forward. Not so excited about missing an hour of sleep. Miss Hawaii…we didn’t have to worry about this in summerland.

Costa barista gave me Raspberry tea instead of plain ice tea. Tastes like candy. Due to my accent, I don’t feel pressing the issue. Gross.
St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick’s Day is definitely a bigger holiday in America (and celebrated bigger) than it is in the UK. No wonder we’ve been told to stay away from Dublin today…filled with loud drunk American tourists.

First day of March
One thing I really love about my new phone is that it came with a few soothing alarm tones. When I awoke to the alarm clock this morning I got it into my head instantly that we were quite late. The boys and I had fifteen minutes to get ready and leave the house. But when we got to an empty school after our 30 minute walk, I realized we were indeed an hour early. Apparently I was too tired this morning to read my clock correctly. The picture to the left is from the honey selection at the store we browsed this morning.

Church & Park
The weather is certainly getting much warmer and I am kinda hoping it will stay that way through to the summer. We did not make it to church at all last month because of the weather with walking and no car. The boys were so excited to be back in bible class. So much so that Ronan wanted to take his brother to his class. I still escorted them to their right places to make sure they got where they were supposed to go. The singing was incredible again this morning and something I definitely missed. Just wish that Ryan did not have to work on Sunday mornings so I had someone to sit with in service. Afterwards the boys and I got some fresh bread and yogurt from the store for a morning snack and headed to the park in town for them to play. The love going to this park and with the sun out and the rain and mud kept at bay, we were able to stay quite a while. Here are some of the photographs taken this morning and I have to say I really do not miss taking horrid shots on my old iPhone.

Pancake Day!
Today is the official Pancake Day! I did not know about this holiday until this week when I was in Sainsbury’s and saw a ‘Pancake Day’ display with all like items available for purchase. With Ryan and I both having the day free, I met him in Brighton for lunch. Technially this was my breakfast, but we had yummy crepe like pancakes. Later on we met up with his university friend, Krista, and her boyfriend, Nick, for two rounds of Laser tag! This was my first time playing and I was not the best player but it was so much fun! I really want to take the boys to go play. For dinner we had pancakes again so that the boys could take part of this silly holiday. Ryan made homemade pancakes with zucchini and I put nutella and fresh strawberries on mine. It was very declicious!
