Down to less than a month behind!

April was a very mellow month and I don't think we did a whole lot of anything. Wait! Did I say mellow? What I meant to say was the kids tried to throw a rebellion and it was all I could do to keep them under control so we didn't go out and do a whole lot of anything. I say I because Nathan had tons going on at work and school and we didn't see a whole lot of him this month. M is almost two now and her independent colors are showing through. Don't get me wrong...she's a sweety, but when she's in a mood, she's in a mood! J is usually a really good kid, but entered into a see how much I can sneak into things and still get away with it phase. I had this strange suspicion that J must have been sneaking the string cheese out of the fridge, but he helped me to understand that it was Mr. Nobody taking it out, eating it on the couch and leaving the wrappers strewn about. I told J that maybe he should at least help Mr. Nobody hide the evidence deep in the garbage can. He thought that was a good idea.

Here's the kids with Grandpa Jim. M was in one of her moods.




And we did venture out to the zoo with our friends Sammy and Shaunika.


J was totally upset he forgot his sunglasses, but Sammy was a sweety and let him borrow his.

You should have seen his gnarly teeth.


Can you find me?


At the end of the zoo loop there is a playground for the kids. Don't they look sweet? And by the beginning of July they should have baby #2. Yay!


M was basically uninterested in the playground. But who needs toys when you can explore nature's carefully manicured foliage?
