End of April Beginning of May

Abbie made a hopscotch board on our sidewalk that was 130 squares long!  She was so excited to show it to Ken and me.Aren’t sleeping babies beautiful!

The next to last day of April greeted us with yet another snowstorm.  We probably got 3 or so inches.  This has been a fun spring..never knowing what to expect weather wise.  But I’m ok with that because I’ve been able to put off that dreaded weekend of bring up summer clothes. On a Saturday afternoon we drew some pictures together with Spencer’s coloring changing markers.  He learned how to draw a baseball and Jessie did some Zentangled pictures to hang on her bedroom walls.

We had tin foil dinners that night and man were they delicious and then Rachel left like s’mores so she made some for the kids in the microwave.I love Jessie’s poses for pictures.  She didn’t want a s’more and had a Strawberry Orange Julius popsicle that Spencer and I had made earlier that week.  We made some for us and then surprised Ken at work with a glass strawberry goodness too.

Another cute baby picture.Neil LOVES to brush teeth.  We even gave him his own toothbrush which he happily chews on and then shares with anyone who will open for him to brush their teeth too!Abbie and Spencer both wanted to sleep in our bed…Ken came out and told me he had put a pillow in between them so they wouldn’t talk…I didn’t think that would really work until I saw the wall of pillow he had put between them.Mark was the main character in a play at school for Ground Hogs Day which kept getting postponed.  They were finally able to preform at the beginning of May.  At first Mark wanted to be the main character so he could have a lot of lines, but he was a little nervous the day of the play.  He did a great job speaking his lines slowly and clearly and knew them all…I’m not really sure why he was so nervous.  I think he may have not enjoyed the acting part…but maybe if the play had been a little more humorous it would have been more fun.

Some cards for Stamp Day.  I love all of them…the summery orange, the little matchbook birthday card and the fun flowers.  It’s so fun to create.
