Best Seat in the House

Bookworm

Well...at least she's outside.

Walking Weather

(Don't be fooled: he looks happy enough here, but boy was Sully ticked that I wouldn't let him ride his trike for our walk today. Sorry buddy. Sometimes Mama wants to walk without stopping every three feet so you can "check something.")

Creative Dance Class

Eva attended a creative dance class last Saturday...which turned out to be right up her alley: it was a class with STORIES! Her instructor spent an hour and a half reading "movement" stories to the kids, while they moved thier bodies along to the words (and music).

One of the stories she read had the kids pretending they were watching clouds in the sky and/or moving their bodies into the shapes of those clouds. The teacher asked what shapes they were seeing and one by one the kids answered with standard "horses" or "doggies" or "trees." And then out of the blue, Eva yelled out "A VOLCANO!" and in a heartbeat, the teacher had all the kids doing their very best volcano impressions.

(After class, the instructor complimented Eva on her creativity.) (I was not surprised.) So proud of our girlie, once again.

Guess What! Guess What!

Eva has her first loose tooth. Or teeth, actually--the middle bottom two are both loose!

Parachute!

Baseball Sully

How does that Easter Bunny always know just exactly what kiddos want most?

In Good Hands

Well, Karl snuggled Sully back to health on Monday...so we spent yesterday rediscovering all the goodies he recieved for Easter. Sully kept asking me "where did this come from, Mama?" Poor little guy--so glad he's feeling better!

Easter. Sort of.

This weekend we headed to Grammy and Grampa's house to celebrate Easter, and a good time was had by...most. Poor little Sully managed to come down with a stomach flu just in time to ruin his Easter weekend, and, rather than running around looking for eggs and stuffing his face with candy with his sister and cousins, he spent most of Saturday and all of Sunday snuggling on the couch with any available adult. Poor baby. At one point, he unwrapped a peanut butter cup "just to look at it."

Eva and cousins Sebastian and Eliza did a great job finding eggs for him, however, and he still managed to make it home with quite a haul. Maybe we'll have a small egg hunt re-do once he's feeling more like himself again...

Bike Rider

This boy is FAST! (Or, he would be, if he didn't feel the need to stop every two feet to check out all the ant hills he spots.)
