Life Lately

April had a great birthday.  Turning 9 has never been this good :)  She had a special sign sent by a friend and we had fun with that through the day. I arranged for a bunch of friends and relatives to stop by (staying in cars) and we spend most of the beautiful-weather day outside.  It was fun to see so many people and it made April feel special! 






A few days ago when the weather was nicer, the kids were working hard on fairy gardens. I think it turned out really well, and super cute!




Chloe needed a bigger bicycle and she got to go help pick it out.  Purple and 21 speeds!  Of course, this led to a Dad & Kids bike ride :)





The kids don't have new school work on Wednesdays or (of course) over the weekend. That has led to some sibling sleepovers. The girls spent a night in Peter's room. They prefer when he comes to their room though :)  We just pick up his mattress and bring it over - everyone stays comfy!



May the 4th was an obvious choice to watch a Star Wars movie!  The girls weren't as sure, but as we watched the original 3, they liked them more and more. We will probably be waiting to show them any additional movies from the series, but they did enjoy these ones. Of course, they were scared and hiding behind pillows (the girls anyway) during different parts, but overall they were enjoying!



We've taken lots of family walks.  These three are loving their matching shirts from Aunt Michelle.  Really, they can't wait to wear them when they see their cousins soon!!



What have I been doing? Lots of grocery shopping, wearing my mask ;)

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...

I hope he's not moving in....
