April Fun

Let it be known that I did not intend to miss the month of April in blog land. I composed the most fantastic post, complete with adorable pics, using the blogger app on my phone & pouf! It disappeared & so did my memory of what I'd written and the time to redo it all. Spring is just great so far. It makes everyone happy to have more sunshine!

Important stat: Harper can pump her legs and swing all by herself as of Saturday! She is growing up way too fast, but makes me so proud! Claire is still spelled T-R-O-U-B-L-E, but she is SO cute that I don't care!

Harper painted her own face so she'd "look like a cat".

She makes this face ALL the time! Like, if she does something bad, "ooooooooo!"

Spring is here!

Love this weather-LOVE! It is so nice to get out of the house and play! I feel like we always hole up for the winter, especially having a little one, so it is extra refreshing to resurface with a running toddler. Of course, said toddler can also climb the big ladder now! I just look at play time as a built in workout with no gym fees :) Seriously, the girls are really cute and fun and things are getting so much easier now that they can play together more.
Claire has added a few words: dog! woof woof! duck! mommy! moo! tank you! Where are you? Okay, it comes out like waaaaahhrrrwooo, but a mother knows these things :) And she'll say something like teeter, which I think is sister for Harper, and her buddy Nay-nun's (Nathan) name. Tooth #7 is coming in, but not where I expected it. Doesn't seem to be causing much of an issue now, so I'll take it.
We took the girls to see the Easter bunny this past Saturday but both of them clung to us like baby kittens with their claws in your skin, so we didn't push the matter. Instead, we went in the Toy Shoppe and got some fun outside things, like a hula hoop and a frisbee. It's been so funny to watch Harper try the hoop. The best part is that so far, she really hasn't gotten frustrated with it and is doing pretty good. For a three year old!
Let's see, Ken took them to the park one of the first warmish days, the rest of these are playing in the park and playing in the azaleas at church instead of with the Easter bunny. For the record, I happen to think the bunny is quite freaky as well!

Favorites from the Zoo!

We had a great day at the zoo! The weather was perfect & we had great company:)
