Good-bye April!

Another month is gone, gone, gone. It's been a good month. We've read many, many books to the children. We've played games with them. We've spent time outdoors playing basketball, badminton, soccer and biking. Or in Viva's case, climbing the shrinking hill of snow created by the snowplow. Hooray for spring!

The children have entertained themselves with drawing, cutting, iPad apps, puzzles, trains, and the marble run. The kidlets retrieved the marble run from the downstairs toy storage closet and set it up themselves. They've been having a great time with it and the cat loves it. He lays on the toy table and rolls the marbles around.

The children have had adventures this month: visits to the school playground, the bouncy house (daddy's lunch hour!), the ballet (Jake and mommy), the zoo, the library, the native Olympic games (daddy and the boys), and a blue grass festival (small!).

The children have spent time with Grandma Karen. They watched the season premiere of Dr. Who with opa. Mommy had a birthday. Grandma Vicki sent an Easter package. The Easter Bunny visited. Daddy's been home. Daddy's been gone.

With three preschoolers there's never a dull moment. Even rest time isn't dull because we're too aware that the clock is ticking down and the pace will soon, very soon, pick up again.
