April 2019

April highlights were birthday month for Charley and me (Happy birthday, Charley!  Can't believe you are 5!), Easter, Spring Break and Great Wolf Lodge.  Fun month!  

And happy 9 months to B!  He wasn't feeling great at his 9 month checkup, but still smiled and talked and showed off for everyone at the Dr.  He took a height and weight jump -- He's 18 lbs 3 oz (34th percentile) and 27.5" (15th percentile).  And he gave me the best birthday present... he started saying "mama"!


Her class filled a bucket and the reward was dress up day!



I just had to snap this pic because it was such a throwback... C reading my old Little Mermaid book, and Lil with a Baby-Sitters Club book.


Doing Storyline Online. :)




Daddy dress up.







Picking up a chick at Jacob's birthday party.










Ready for the Candyland ball at preschool.




Spring Break at Great Wolf Lodge.  So fun!  Thanks, Mom, for keeping B last minute... made it way more of a vacation.   The girls really didn't know what to expect (us either) and when we walked in they were blown away!


Bunk bed!





We had fun watching the big water bucket fill up and dunk on everyone while we had dinner (and yes, we were dunked on ourselves at the park!).

Breakfast on the porch. 

And the arcade before heading home.





Glasses and freckles.



First trip of the year to Carowinds.  C is tall enough for the pirate ships!



Lily did the Scooby coaster (well, whatever it is now... will always be the Scooby Doo coaster to me).  She got super nervous getting on but then loved it.






Little wolfie. :)


The girls have been working really hard on no finger in, and no nail biting.  Getting nails done at the salon was their special reward!



Sleepover.


Dying eggs.









Happy Easter!



Egg hunt at Annie's house.



Happy 9 months, B!



Happy Birthday, Annie!




We surprised Lily at school for lunch!  So cute to see her face when she saw us.

Our future Dilworth Dragon.  Lily checked out a library book for her. :)


Art night!




Celebrating 5 at preschool!

Lil took a little time off school to come celebrate Charley!  We always give a small classroom gift on birthdays -- this book was our gift, and Lil read it to Charley's class.


Winghaven.  Checking out their birdhouses in the birdhouse competition!

Flutterwing Cottage, by Lily.



Tink's House, by Charley.

Ready for birthday morning.

Happy 5, Charley!!!


Julie!

And ice cream for breakfast!




A walk down the greenway from Freedom Park to Target to spend her bday gift card resulted in...

this Rapunzel Charley has wanted FOREVER!



She carried her for a really long part of our walk. :)


Julie's egg chair.  She has wanted Julie and this egg chair since she was 2!!

Rainbow hair at the preschool carnival.


Charley at her Rainbow Friendship birthday party!






The after party. :)

Stomp rockets next door.


One of Lil's went up and never came down!  We said it must still be up there in orbit. ;)


B's first Knights game.
