Sprinkler

Since it was 90 yesterday, the sprinkler came out...

Amelie was hilarious... 

and very soaked.

Matching

3 out of 4  is pretty good...

Taking pictures of kids should be a college major.

Zoo

We made our first trip this year to the Zoo. 

It was a beautiful day and we had a great time...

We had company for lunch...

I also discovered that we don't need a dog.

What we need is this crazy breed of a turkey. 

My kids LOVED chasing him back and forth along

the fence, including Amelie.

I see long naps ahead...

"Where the heck have they taken me now?"

Sand

We got sand for the sandbox this weekend.

Amelie LOVED it.

The bath water was brown that night...

Briar Bush

Friday the weather was amazing, 

so we had a half day of school

and I packed the army up 

for the Briar Bush Nature Center.

It's a darling little place a whole

10 minutes from our house, so I'm

hoping to do this more often...

My crew...

The guilty line up

The littlest bee

12 months

"See, Mom, I can wear 12 months clothes!"

Um, I think thats suppose to be a dress.

A certain big sister is trying not

to be jealous of all her baby sister's

clothes

Easter

Due to naps taking priority, we

failed to get a picture of all 4 kiddos together.

Or a family shot.

Eggs

I had no idea this would be

SUCH a hit or taken so

seriously...

Intensely bathing the eggs...

And we're back!

We survived the plague and Dem was the last

victim to fall. How none of the others got it

will always be a mystery to me.

Now we're back to wearing towels for caps,

being girlie, playing with scarves, and getting

things stuck were they should never have

been to begin with.

Best of all, Daddy is on his way home!

The Plague

We've been struck by the plague.

It's taken Charlie, 3 days later Amelie,

and now 4 days later, Dem.

Who will be next?

This is how this sick baby sleeps


One last story before Daddy's trip to France

Raincoats

This was taken last week before the Plague hit... more to come.
