Abby and her friends really want to help the animals at the county animal shelter. They made a deal with our neighbor who runs our neighborhood food drive--they would deliver the bags to the neighborhood if she would add pet supplies to the list of requested items. They had a great afternoon delivering bags. I love that she has good friends!
Abby was super excited that her prescription changed and she gets to get new glasses. She has a good system for picking the frames and it's fun to watch as she decides how she is going to create her new self :)
We got to celebrate Andrew's half birthday this week! I can't believe he's 4-1/2. We celebrate our half birthdays with any treat the half-birthday kid chooses. Never one to completely follow the rules, Andrew chose frosted animal crackers on top of rainbow sherbet ice cream. Since he's the only one without a birthday during Dec-Mar, I caved and he got both treats. It's hard to be the only one missing out on birthday spoiling but he is such a good kid and finds ways to celebrate his siblings but still make sure he gets in on that spotlight at least for a few minutes.
You guys, Nora is 11 months old. The kids took this picture for no reason other than the fact that everyone loves Nora and wants to have a turn to take her picture :)
Lydia's cousin, Hailey, sent her Flat Stanley so Lydia could take him on an adventure and send back a letter telling all about the fun they had together. Lydia took Stanley to school and loved it. Now to write that letter back... :)
We have been doing some massive spring cleaning/dejunking/reorganizing at our house, which means we have remembered some fun things we have. The kids have loved introducing Nora to toys and costumes they loved as little ones. Nora has gone back to the costume box, grabbed a costume, and taken it to someone for help multiple times. She and Sam then played a strange pirate-shark game with Abby in tow as Nora's walking help.
We have a lot of fun at Walmart. The Valentines monkeys were calling our names...plus Aunt Carla needs more pictures with crazy kids and monkeys!
Abby loves alpacas so we found a nursery nearby that has alpacas to visit. It was freeeeeezing that day, but we did stop there for 5 minutes and made Abby's whole day. It was almost worth it for her to spend the whole morning cleaning with us :)
Sam created the Zwahlenosaurus with input from siblings on the Jurassic World Wii game.
I love this quote!
We just felt like we all need to be prepared for the next royal wedding.
Every time we see pigs, we have to take picture for Far Far. Dad, I hope you appreciate the fact that it's a purple piggybank pig. Abby thinks you need it on your shelf.:)
