Trying to Catch Up: April 2014

April was busy. We start doff the month with a free craft night at Chick Fil-A.

Gavin started playing soccer in April. He had practice on Wednesday nights and games on Saturday mornings.

We also took another trip to MD in April. This time, it was for our friends' daughter's 2nd birthday party. We stayed at GG and Max's house again and took many early morning baths. Again.

We did a lot of crafting and playing outside in April.

 

Our kids and Olivia started Zumba in April.

And I won the 2013-2014 School of Communication Studies' Professor of the Year Award!

We went to the Farmer's Market and participate din Art in the Park, which is a monthly FREE outdoor art activity in Harrisonburg.

There were 2 or 3 really hot days in April. We took advantage of those days.

Gavin actually started writing his name on his own!

The twins got along more than normal in April.

We went to a free 10,000 egg hunt with Grandma. There were games, bouncy houses, puppet shows, hotdogs, popcorn, cotton candy, and 10,000 candy-filled eggs to find!

We dyed eggs the night before, hunted for those eggs in the morning, let them open their goodie baskets, and went out for breakfast on Easter Sunday.

We went to a car show- the first one of the season!

We had a dinner party with the Whitehurst family.

And last, but not least, Wes not only fixed our power washer, but he and Gavin cleaned the front steps. Apparently, they were really dirty.

So. Freaking. Behind.

I can't even handle how behind I am with this blog. Let's try to recap the last couple of months. And because I don't really have time to do several months at once, let's begin with March.

MARCH

We began March with a trip to MD. We stayed at GG and Max's house and took typical early morning baths.

The main reason for our trip was to go to April's baby shower.

We did a lot of hanging out at home. Mostly because this was one of the longest, coldest winters ever. Seriously, ever.

 On the few semi-warm days, we played outside. At the park, arboretum, and backyard.

One the days when it snowed for the 67th time, we went to the indoor kids' gym and the children's museum with the Whitehurst family.

We refurbished a few pieces of furniture and started the redecoration of the living room.

Another big March event was a free Tea Party that was held at the mall. Vivian had A BLAST, especially because her BFF, Olivia, was there!

 And THAT was March 2014.

Big Boy Bed Adventures

We recently moved Paxton's big boy bed (a full sized bed that was in his nursery for when we had extra guests) into the twins' bedroom. So now all three kids sleep in the same room. It's worked out pretty well so far. 

One of the twins (usually Vivian) typically makes his/her way to the big bed at some point during the night and I typically join Pax in his big bed at some point as well. 

The crib is gone and our baby is a big boy. Tear.
