April {phone edition}

Goodbye, April! Here are some pictures from the past month

With Aunt Anna on her last day at Disney
Caris locked her room and Kent had to tear a side of the door frame off  to get it open. Then he had to nail it back in place and paint it- all while Caris watched with a pair of shorts on her head. 
Watching the pool guy clean provides us with weekly entertainment 
I took Caris to Michaels to pick out a bridal shower gift. While I shopped, she walked the aisles and picked up random fake flowers and feathers (Have you ever looked for that stuff? Turns out it's everywhere!) She made a bouquet with it and the cashier gave her a bag to carry it in. 
Super Heros! A birthday gift from Anna
Kent's play dough creation (Zoom in on the barn and tractor) He has a gift. 
We took out first beach trip and all got sunburned. I said, "Ok! Woot! My righteousness is not found in adequately saving my children from skin cancer!" and "Holy Smokies! That is like, the cardinal sin of parenting young children- don't let them get sunburned!! Mom guilt!" 
Beach Belly (in a good way this year)
Little sis had a few weeks where she fought her nap and threw everything out of the crib.
 NO.PILL.OW! NO BANK.ET! And then magically she turned into a sleeping cherub when I snuck in to see her. Amazing how that works. 
Big sis has found a new portable pillow 
Here we come, May!

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really.
