Skittles and a show

Max, Timmy, and Cecelia went to see the Hughes Middle production of the Lion King, Jr.  They loved it!  When the play started with Rafiki singing they were hooked.  As much as they enjoyed it, Max and Timmy asked between every song and scene, "Is it over yet?"  Of course when it was over they immediately wanted to go home and watch Lion Guard (aka Lion King: The Next Generation).  All three made it through a 90 minute performance with one intermission, one bag of sour skittles (split three ways), and no incidents!  Bravo!

The show had not yet begun, but the countdown to intermission/SKITTLES had commenced. 

Just a couple of happy campers ready to start a new day

Max woke up at 5am because he was so excited that it was pajama day at school. All he needed to complete his Ninja Turtle look was his 12 month old hoodie.

Garbage pail kids

These kiddos legitimately took the garbage pails back up from the curb and they don't even know what an allowance is!

Kira's new favorite thing in the whole wide world is brushing her teeth.  She squeals with delight when she sees the toothbrush come out and studiously keeps her mouth open the whole time.  It is the cutest!!!  Also the cutest- her high pony tail!

Helmet heads

Spring swing

Spring is such a moody season- days range from mild summer to harsh winter to an occasional amazing spring day.  Today was that amazing day so we soaked it up because crazy freezing rain could be just around the corner.

Back to baby signing..."more!"

The baby, not signing

It was so cold out today!

At least 50% of our kids dressed appropriately for the weather

Selfie!  Today Kira picked up her monitor and said, "cheese" to the screen.

Bowling party

Bowling party to celebrate daddy's birthday!

Kira's inaugural round of bowling 

Coupled with her first day as an official walker.  She took more steps than scoots today!

Kira loves doggies!

Max loves to try on clothes

Daddy's birthday = mas desserts for Max and Kira 

TGIF

Right at home at a basketball game!

Play date!

Max and Logan talked about their afterschool play date all day at school.  Max was mostly excited about Logan coming home in our car.  They played until 8:30pm, well passed theirs (and mommy's) bedtime.  

Kira loves playing with (aka: near) the boys 

Baby loves to dance

Turn on some tunes and Kira is up and moving!  

We had an epic dance party before bed tonight.  Once she heard, "Baby Love" she picked her freshly bathed and diapered bum up off the floor and took more steps, in the form of dance moves, then ever before.

Time to [not] eat

It's all fun and games... 

...until it's time for the food to actually go in your mouth.  Kira is on a strict 1/2 a yogurt and one apple slice for dinner diet.

Kira and Gracie played while the big kids had t-ball practice.  They were happy when max got back to finally show them how to turn on a game. It was a freezing 40 something degrees during practice, so naturally Max wore shorts and short sleeves.  

Asleep at the wheel

This is how Max felt about getting out of his pajamas this morning.
