We visited Discovery Gateway with Kissie. The water area is always a big hit, Evelyn was thrilled to be able to participate!
Kissie treated us to a Disney on Ice performance. How fun! She also gave the kids new Disney attire.
We've had some days nice enough to get out of the house-- wonderful! Here the kids asked for their picture to be taken. We are lucky to live in a neighborhood with a playground we can walk to and lots of friends.
More park fun-- I think this is Evelyn's first time out of the stroller at a park, and first time on the slide!
Feeding the ducks at Daybreak
Four kids on the swings!
Ewww... Evelyn found new chew toys! She loves to empty drawers and cabinets. and she is mouthing everything!
Luke is becoming a puzzle pro-- he does such a great job putting these Jake puzzles together.
Evelyn has started chewing on her crib. (Tooth #5 came in 2 days ago-- maybe that is why?) Violet made a few teeth marks on it, but I found a piece of wood in Evelyn's mouth the last time I got her from her nap! Time to get crib rail covers! She's been saying dada too, which is awfully cute.
Dying Easter eggs gets more fun every year! Every year I have to worry less and less about dye cups tipping over the and kids get more and more ambitious with their decorations.
Luke's playschool has still been lots of fun! We hosted one week this month and had the theme of Spring and plants. We planted grass in cups and had oreo/pudding dirt cups for a treat. The kids all thought I was a bit crazy, most didn't want to eat them!
The grass seed was a quick growing kind, and it was cool to watch. We used them as Easter decorations too.
And, a few facebook statuses..
It's official, Cora and Violet now wear the same shoe size and shirt/coat size. Almost the same pants size too, and they are within an inch of the same height. I'm just hoping Violet grows more soon so she can start handing clothes down to Cora, we're going to be buying two of a lot of things in the meantime!
As part of our St. Patrick's dinner we talked about why we are lucky to have each member of our family. Number one thing the kids thought of for Kevin? That he can reach high things for us! Yup, that is pretty lucky!
Yesterday Cora, Violet and I were sitting behind the organ at church since I was subbing as organist and Kevin was home with Evelyn and Luke. I didn't make time to practice, so I was a bit flustered and made some mistakes while playing the first two hymns (and it's always hot on the stand). I was holding Violet's hand during the sacrament to help keep her quiet and she leaned over to me and said "I wish my hands were wet like yours mommy". I had a really hard time keeping a straight face! Too bad it's not an especially flattering story, but it's too funny not to share!
Kevin can now add garbage disposal replacement to his list of successful household projects. Hooray for saving on installation fees! Boo to cheap spec home appliances! Hooray for a fancy new disposal that's supposed to last a long time!
