What we've been up to!

 

Three words:  the eagle's nest.

 

The kids love it, they make crazy hats and I get to grocery shop. 

Best invention EVER!

 

 

 

 

Ava's writing skills have really taken off.  She wrote Dawson on the sidewalk after she drew his picture.

 

Also, she is buckling herself into the carseat now.  Which means I only have one child to buckle up on a daily basis.  This is wonderful!

 

Loving this beautiful weather and we have been visiting tons of parks.

 

I LOVE this.  Lately Carter has taken to telling Mike "that is nonsense." 

 

Mike wants to burn pistachios.  "Dad that is nonsense."

 

Mike dosen't want to collect bebes.  "That is nonsense."

 

 

 

Throwing stones into a pond, a favorite in our family.

 

Oh, and little Dawson has taken some major steps toward potty training.  He is highly motivated by sugar and he is asking to go to the restroom and we've had some successes!  Of course with anything there is bound to be many more steps back, but we are working on it.

 

They've been enjoying lots of blue moon.  After soccer treats for everyone!

 

Now that the kids are older they understand that Mother's Day is coming.  Its kind of funny, but I think they are more excited about it than me!  I've received daily dandelion bouquets and home made pictures every day.  They have also concocted a scheme to serve me breakfast in bed.  Which in all honesty.......sounds gross.  I would much rather eat my breakfast at the table, but I'm going to go along with the plan.  Also, the best breakfast they want to serve me is cinnamon and sugar toast.  I can't wait to enjoy their breakfast!
