Mason, Rylan, and Elle,
These months go by so quickly! Here's the synopsis of our April:
The first day of April was Easter, which was a good, full day. We went to church, spent the day at Nonni and Poppy's with Aunt Michele's family, colored eggs, looked for Easter baskets, and did 2 Easter egg hunts. The three of you also got a joint Easter present of a new wagon, which we've been using a lot all month.
Mommy and Mason both had birthdays this month. For Mommy's, Rylan wanted to buy me some toys, so we went to the Dollar Tree so he could pick out two toys for me. Then we ate lunch at Moe's.
Mason, you got strep on your birthday and missed school and Awana. It was very sad. But we did have a small birthday party for you at Ridgeview Park a few days before your birthday, and that was fun.
Almost the whole month was full of ridiculously cold weather...so that made it sort of depressing as far as spring goes. The weather also affected t-ball for you, Mase; you had 3 games that didn't get cancelled, so that actually kept the schedule from being overwhelming for me. I think you're having fun with it.
We finally got renters lined up for the rental, and we spent some time this month getting it ready for them to move in. We also had the school auction this month, and you 3 got to be "babysitted" by some teachers and high school kids. Daddy ran the Park to Park half marathon at the end of the month.
One big event of the month was Daddy Donut Day at school. Mason, you and Daddy had so much fun making robots and eating donuts.
Daddy and Mommy got to have the first date that we've had without kids in a very long time this month. We were hoping it would be warm enough to do outside things, but instead it was snowing. But we still got to see a movie, go shopping, eat out, and get coffee!
Here are the things you said that made us laugh this month!
“One of Mason’s teeth rotted out and there was blood.”
“I heard a noise that I thought was a skeleton, but I looked at my wall and saw it wasn’t.”
“Is dandelions made out of corn?”
“If I was in real life and I saw that, I would jump in it!”
“Nonni, do you even know what a woman is? ....A girl who can’t talk.”
“Is it more important to buckle (my seatbelt) or sing praises to God?”
“That’s why Mason should apologize about me not being strong. He doesn’t know everything about me. And he’s not in charge of me.”
“Daddy I’m trying to hit it in first base in football.”
“When I was getting ready to pee outside, for a minute I saw the striped kind of bee!”
“I know how to make salt water! You mix snot then water.”
Love you cuties.
