Everybody loves it when daddy comes home!
The YMCA family night featured hot dogs, cheetos, face paint, a bouncy house and ponies. What more could a kid want?!?! This is Kevin's first pony ride!
We hosted an Easter tea party for Ellie and her friends. It was the cutest party we have ever had. The girls were so adorable. They were all so polite and proper. They acted like they were really doing something very special. I would love to do this party again!
I bought the bonnets and gloves from the dollar bin at Target and decorated the bonnets with flowers. We gave each girl a bonnet and gloves at their place setting, which was defined by a bunny holding an egg with their named spelled on it. Each girl made her own bouquet of flowers and placed them in her own vase. They brought the flowers to the table and we served the snacks and tea. Snacks included cheese crackers shaped like chicks, chocolate bird nests with jelly bean eggs, and pink lemonade.
After the tea party with her friends, Chris decided to have a tea party with Ellie. They each got dressed in their fanciest attire, and Chris snuck around to the front door to surprise Ellie with a flower and to escort her to the table. They were served brocolli, roasted chicken and macaroni and cheese. Berries with homemade whipped cream was their dessert.
Chris's parents came to visit on Easter. It was a fun time. Ellie and Kevin enjoyed playing and silly times with the grandparents! Kevin really wanted to hang out with the other guys in the pic below, but he just couldn't sit still!
We decided to make pizza on Friday night and watch Annie. Ellie loved every part of the night. Annie is the first non-animated movie that Ellie has enjoyed. The funniest part is that she kept calling Annie "him". So, we asked her why she thought Annie was a boy. In a shy voice, she said, "Because he kinda looks like Arden. He kinda has hair like Arden does." Sorry Ardy!
Ellie is laughing here because Kevin is eating butter. Yuck!
Kevin's getting into more trouble here!
Kevin does not enjoy TV. Ellie LOVES TV! She was so enthralled by Dora that she wasn't even phased by Kevin's antics!
Kevin was playing outside when his pants started falling off!
Ellie made this little house for Kevin and her to eat popcorn. She said the hardest part was getting the purple roof (my yoga mat) straight! This is the back of the aquarium stand.
Ellie, Kevin and Sophia playing on a merry-go-round!
My friend, Pam, and I made the headboard to go with this bedframe while Chris was out of town for a few days! It was hard work, but a lot of fun. I also painted 3 white frames to match the headboard and printed some pics I took of Kevin last Easter.
When Chris left for his trip, this room was a mess! The bed was just on a frame and we had no pillows, bedspread or bedskirt. This room is a bedroom, but it has a big built-in desk area, so we use it as a study also. We had boxes everywhere, so it was a nice surprise for Chris to have a nice place to work!
The first day that Kevin has ever skipped a nap completely! He was at Mother's Day Out, and they said that none of the kids slept that day, which was highly unusual! He fell asleep on the way to pick Ellie up from school. I dont remember where his shirt is! Oops!
Ellie's "Show Off" day for ballet. She took ballet and tap (one combined class) from January to April and really enjoyed it. She was so proud during this "performance", and it was really fun to see her. She loves to introduce Chris and me to her friends. I guess I should enjoy this while it lasts!
