April, so far....

r

We have had a very busy month so far!! It started off with a great April Fool's Day. The kids had a lot of fun tricking EVERYONE that they talked to. Gloria woke up in the morning and went out front to go feed kitty.. she then came in the house and asked daddy "What did you do to your car?! Who smashed it all up?!" Daddy would have gone running outside to check on his car if Gloria hadn't started laughing. We then put casts on the kids- Gloria's on her arm, and Grayson on his leg. We then made up far fetched tales to tell their teachers and classmates. This was a lot of fun for them. Graysons leg was bitten while he was swimming with the sharks- gloria fell off of a horse that was chasing a bear! It was a hoot to hear them tell their well rehearsed stories!
Then we had Cami's birthday. It was a week long celebration. We had a few cakes, a lot of ice cream, and presents. Cami got her first bike. It is a big wheel. She loves it.
We had a fun Easter. The kids really liked coloring eggs this year. They thought it was more fun to find the eggs that they colored. All the kids had a blast with the egg hunt. Cami kept looking for eggs EVERYWHERE for the next few days.
And finally... today! Olivia turned 5 months old. We took her to the doctors for her 4 month check up (yes, I am a little behind but I wanted to get Grays kindergarden check up and Cami's 3 year old check up all at the same time). Olivia weighs 13 pounds! She is 22" long..... She looks so big to me, but I can see now how come people think that she is so tiny. I just thought people had no idea how big babies were supposed to be, but man! She is little. She is my smallest, so far. She is so sweet, still. She is talking and babbling and about the only thing that makes her cry (besides getting shots at the doctor) is if you take food or toys out of her little hands! She is so cuddly. We have so much fun with her.
Lastly, we went through a final walk through on our new house today. I will post some pictures when I can. If everything looks good, and if there are no major problems with the house, we will be moving in on June 1st. We love it!! We are a little nervous about the pool. It has no childproof system, so if you know of any way to childproof our pool, let me know ASAP!!! I won't move in until it is safe.
That is our April, so far!! Whew!!!! What a month.
