Legwarmers

This girl has been loving her dance class, they do ballet and tap in each class.  The recital is coming up at the end of May.  She is very excited to wear her new costume.  But for now she likes to wear her legwarmers to dance class!  

Easter Morning

The kids got up Easter morning and gathered up all the eggs the Easter Bunny had hidden in the house.  They all loved their Easter baskets and had fun going trough them to see what was inside.  We left for home that morning and the rest of the family went to church.  It was a great weekend with family!   Thanks Shelley and Tyler!  We love the house and can't wait to come back! 

Egg Hunt with Cousins!

There was an egg hunt on Saturday morning in a park near Shelley and Tyler's house.  We all walked to the hunt and it was a beautiful Spring day!  The kids were separated into groups by age.  Quinn was in one area, Lucas in another and Corvin, Brady, and Sage in another.  All the adults separated to go with the kids.  Nana and I watched Quinn - she was none to happy to have to wait for the egg hunt to start.  She saw the eggs and wanted to start collecting them.  Finally the kids got to hunt for the eggs!  She gathered up a ton!

Love this pic of the three of us!  After the egg hunt we all went back to the house and then the three of us took off for a little shopping and lunch.  It was so nice to get away for a few hours with these two. 

Uncle Reese

These boys love their Uncle Reese and the feeling is mutual!

Easter Eggs

We went to Shelley and Tyler's for Easter.  We got there late Thursday night.  We were so excited to see them and to see their house!  This was the first time we had seen their house since they moved in last April.  It is a beautiful house and they are getting settled and making it a home!  My parents arrived Friday afternoon to absolute delight of all the gandkids!  We dyed Easter eggs Friday night and the kids loved it.  Quinn was already in bed so she missed out on the fun - always next year!

Tuesday Morning continued!

Last Tuesday morning all Quinn wanted was to be held.  She was not happy that I had to pack Sage's lunch and make breakfast.  I had to slide a chair into the kitchen so she could sit by the counter as I made Sage's lunch and breakfast.  Quinn decided to not eat that morning.  She was all out of sorts.  We dropped Sage off to the bus and ran to Meijer to get a prescription at the drive thru pharmacy - I surely wasn't crazy enough to bring her into a store that day!  We got home and I brought all my workout stuff upstairs.  I got a workout in and she played on the iPad on the couch.  After my workout, I put a show on for her and I was making my breakfast.  I looked over and she was fast asleep on the couch.  She never falls asleep anywhere but her crib or occasionally the car.  This poor kiddo was not feeling good. 

 

Snoozing & snoring away!

Big Sister Love

Last Tuesday morning was a rough one.  Quinn was unhappy from the moment she got up. At one point before Sage left for school I looked over and Sage was watching a show with Quinn.  When I walked in the room Sage said to me "She just needed a little Love Mom."  My heart melted!  What a good big sister!

Beads & Cookie Cutters

With Sage being sick and then Quinn being sick we have been spending lots of time at home.  I have had to get creative with activities to keep Quinn occupied.  One day last week I got out some beads to string and some Easter cookie cutters and Quinn made her own activities.  These kept her busy for a long time!

 

This cup was from the Egg Hunt that she had to miss and she loves it!   She first was stringing the beads then decided it was more fun to fill the cup and dump it out!

 Easter cookies cutters are so much fun - especially when they are in a metal bowl and make lots of noise!

She moved from filling the cup with her hands to using the wooden spoon. She was getting good at this!

Egg Hunt Fun

Sage and I went to an Egg Hunt this past Sunday.  It was put on by our new friends Dana and Josh.  We had so much fun! We wished Quinn and Daddy had been able to come to, but since Quinn wasn't feeling good they stayed home.  The egg hunt was at a gymnastics gym.  The kids first did the hunt and then got to play on all the gymnastics equipment.  Sage loved all the gymnastics equipment.  I can see some gymnastics lessons in our future.  Sage came home with all sorts of goodies: personalized Easter bucket and cup and all the stuff inside the eggs.  She loved it!

Getting ready to hunt for eggs!

Each kid was given a certain color egg to look for.  It made it really fun!

 

Sage had the color red and had so much fun finding her red eggs!

After they hunted the eggs they lined up and handed their buckets off to the parents and went and played!

There was tons of cute decorations for the party and these giants Peeps were my favorite!

Look at that air!

She loved this bar!

Balance act!
