Remember my garden? Well, I've added my seedlings & some tomatoes from Costco! YAY! Everything is still alive & GROWING! Clarissa has discovered that she can put on clothes! Here she is putting on Lila's dress and Kurtis' shirt.
On Tuesday Kurtis had his annual Monster Concert where his school plays with a bunch of other schools in the area. Lila loved it and "conducted" along with the band teacher!
After a school contest, Kurtis is now the champion bubble blower! He can blow a "double bubble" (bubble inside a bubble) and one as big as his head! Watch out, they pop!

Florida was fabulous!

Seeing Katie, Chris and Mia was fantastic! I also got to spend some time with my mother in law, Josie as well. Clarissa gave Katie and Chris a taste of life with a mobile child, and showed them many things they'll need to baby proof! Mia is just great and Katie is doing a wonderful job as a nursing mom!


















While in Florida, I was able to drive up and see my uncle Tom, cousin Greg and Greg's gorgeous baby girl, Riley Marie. What a beautiful baby she is!

Climb Climing Climber

Ok, so since yesterday I need to revise my list of things that Clarissa can climb as she figured out that using my footstool she can climb on to the lazy boy and she also discovered that she's big enough to climb on the toy box in Lila's room! So now the list reads:
Ottoman
Dishwasher
Dresser Drawers
Stairs up & down!
Toy Box
Lazy Boy

Wow. I really am in trouble.

How many kids with ADD does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Wanna go ride bikes?

Welcome Spring! Clarissa is now old enough to enjoy playing outside! YES!

I'm in for it. Clarissa is going to be a climber. She can now climb up and down the stairs, in and out of the ottoman, dishwasher, and dresser drawers. She even figured out that if she pulls out the bottom dresser drawer in Lila's room she can climb up on Lila's bottom bunk. Uh oh.

Have you ever seen a cuter motorist?


Last night at dinner Lila started crying "I don't want my salad!" I gave her the this is what's for dinner speech and when that didn't work I did the thing you're not supposed to do and tried to bribe her with ice cream. Still, more tears and "I don't like it!" Then she demands "I want a carrot!" Are you kidding me!? Whos child demands a carrot instead of dinner!? She ate the carrot and got ice cream. Go figure?
Hunting eggs. Lila had fun finding and hiding eggs.

Kurtis even joined the fun!
