Easter!

I was busy sewing one day (read that as not paying attention to the girls) and noticed (only kind of noticed...again, I wasn't really paying attention) the girls kept running up and down the stairs with tape, envelopes, and pages of paper. What were they doing? Making a shrine to the Easter Bunny on our window ledge.

Ellie's note....

Quincy's note...

This was the first year that we gave them zero direction on how to color the eggs.  Due to this we got a lot of "brown" colored eggs....and hands!

The girls got to sleep with each other one last night (everyone had to go back to school the day after Easter).

The Easter bunny was kind enough to leave the girls a nice note for all of their hard work in making his shrine.

Getting the girls mentally ready for VBS----this will be their first year. 

I love Otis.  And I miss Cosmo. 

Spring Break Part Two: ....and...A Day in the Backyard!

We had such pretty weather all spring break but the pool doesn't open up until May...soooo.... we used a hose instead!  Sometimes I think they have more fun with the hose.... 

Ellie is always very quick to kink the hose to prevent Quincy from using it to spray her....

Spring Break, Part One: A Day at the Beach....

We went down to Savannah for a few days at the beginning of our break.  While we were there we were able to take a short break in activities to play on the beach (and collect a zillion sea shells!)......

Now we have two on two wheels!

Yesterday was a milestone for both girls:  Quincy learned how to ride her bike without training wheels.....

(although she would still rather run than bike!)....

 

....and Ellie learned how to start her bike on her own! Yay!

(Ellie's knees after the last week of activities....she is our little adventurer and has no problem doing anything that has the possibility of injury in it---kind of makes me nervous!)
