 True got a sunflower seed from preschool that has been spilled multiple times since he brought it home.  We finally planted it tonight.  He really likes to dig in the dirt, so he really enjoyed digging the hole for it.

Then all three were digging in the dirt!

We found a toad today - I think it maybe the same one we had last year in our flowerpot.  Ava really wanted to put him in a 'house' and keep him, but I told her how much happier he was outside.

Hopefully, he's still around tomorrow!

So, I actually didn't take this picture, I stole it off Facebook.  True and Ava are playing soccer for the first time this year.  This was their 3rd Saturday of games (2 each Saturday for each kid!).  True finally figured out how to play the game.  The first two games he was pretty put out that kids would steal the ball away from him and he spent sometime just sitting on the field.  Today he went for it!  He scored multiple goals and was all over it.  Now we just need to work on not taking the ball away from our teammates!

My little early morning riser.. She was awake and raring to go at 6:30 this morning.  She found the iPad on the floor and brought it over to the rug in the bathroom to play by me while I got ready.  She is trouble!  Tonight, as we were getting ready for jams, she ran face first into the stair corner.  She busted her lip and had quite a bit of blood.. poor girl.. True said, "I don't like when she is hurt."  Me, neither!

Speaking of True, he had two of Ava's "gril" books about pink tutus.  I teased him about it and he started saying his favorite color is pink.  He was giggling so hard.. it was pretty funny.  That kid makes me crack up!

Here we go!

 First day in the May challenge to post everyday and I'm already cheating.  I didn't take this picture today, but it was still on the camera and I didn't take any other good pictures today, so I'm using it!  This is Lu in the morning.  She is usually pretty happy in the morning and ready to go. 

She is learning the pout though (this was the only picture I had of it).  When we tell her no or don't give her exactly what she wants, she uses this little pout face.  It makes me laugh!

Happy Easter!

It's been a while… here is life lately...

 True was told to clean up all his big trucks.. and this is what he did.  Made me laugh!

 We dyed eggs last night, then had baths, and then went out for what is becoming our annual Easter egg hunt in our pajamas!

 True thought it was great!

 Goose didn't really care that much… She just loves to be outside!

 Reaching...

 Tried to get a cute group picture.. it just didn't happen.  If one or two were good, the other wasn't!  This has a good picture of True...

 The girls looked cute in this one… (True had something in his eye for about 3 or 4 pictures and he wouldn't stop rubbing it!)  The last one is kind of sweet because Lu was checking out True.  She loves him.

Snow Day! (again!)

 Here we go again!  We have now had 9 snow days!!  Argh!  We're going to be in school until June!  So I am finally catching up on the blog.. Lu found Ava's purse and wore it around for a while like a necklace.. cutie..

 She climbed in to her toy stroller and cheesed it.  This face is Lu's most common face.

 Ava playing in the snow this morning.  She enjoyed it until she took her gloves off to put a carrot nose and grape face on her snowman.  Then her hands started to hurt and she couldn't figure out why… 

Lu LOVED being outside.  She walked up and down the driveway.  She was not happy when I made her come in.
