Counting Cars

Paxton loves the front porch. Maybe it's because he likes the warmth of being outside. Or maybe it's because he feels free even though he's trapped in a pack n play. Who can really know? We like to think that he likes watching the cars drive by. You know, because we're car people; he is named after a car part. {grin}

Speaking of the Playhouse

All three kids are absolutely loving playing in their playhouse this year. Especially Mr. Paxton Marshall. He been obsessed with opening and closing doors for a while now and the playhouse has a perfectly small door for his to open and close as often as he wishes. Whenever we go outside, he immediately crawls over to the playhouse and goes inside. It's going to be a fun summer.

Strawberries

On Monday, we planted strawberries. The twins are learning about growing plants and food at school this month, so we thought it was fitting to grow some food of our own for the summer. And who doesn't love strawberries?

The twins love how we put the pots next to their playhouse.

Now I just hope that some real strawberries grow!

Easter Sunday

The kiddos woke up on Easter Sunday to find a few pieces of chocolate and a couple of toys set up in the living room for them. They were very excited about it all.

Once they played with their gifts for a little bit, it was time to hunt for the real eggs that we dyed the day before.

Later that day, we made cupcakes and decorated them.

We also cracked a bunch of our Easter eggs and made deviled eggs. The twins really loved doing this. They thought it was VERY cool.

 

We spent the rest of the day lounging around and playing.

It was a nice Sunday for all.

Turtle Love

When we don't have anything to do and it's raining outside, we like to go to the pet store. Last week, we took the kiddos to a pet store we rarely go to. Miss Vivian fell in love with a turtle. And it actually seemed like the turtle felt the same way about Vivian.

Doll Houses

Paxton absolutely loves playing with Vivian's doll houses. He likes climbing on them, standing up next to them, and playing with all of the little pieces of furniture and little people inside. Give the kid a doll house, and he's happy.

Her Hair

I'm not exactly sure how this happened, but Vivian's hair has gotten to be SOOOO long. She still hates washing and brushing it, but she has gotten a lot better at letting me put it up or braid it. When you ask her if we can cut it, she refuses and claims that she wants it to be like Rapunzel. Yowza.

Our Crazy Crew

When the Milligans came down for an Easter celebration, we tried to get a good picture of our three kiddos outside. We failed miserably. These are the best from the bunch.

 Oh well. Butter luck next year!
