Easter. It happened. I took this photo (above). We also had a huge neighborhood breakfast/egg hunt that was super fun. Andy was in charge of the food and I was in charge of the egg hunt. It went better than I imagined and about 250 people came. Then we also had a family BBQ/egg hunt that KD put together. It was also super fun, and the kids were super spoiled!
Ally figured out that she can climb, and she climbs up everything. One of her favorite places to ponder life is the window bench in Kylee and Skyler's room. I'm not sure how much life-pondering a 1-year-old needs to do...but she does it.
Skyler wants to be just like Daddy. He has this little laptop that he plays educational games on, and the other day he brought it out and set himself up right next to Andy on the floor.
The second grade puts on a play every year called "EiEi Oops!" It's about a farmer and his wife whose cow won't moo, and it uses a bunch of nursery rhyme characters to solve the issue. To be honest, I have no idea how the issue got solved because their sound system was terrible and nobody could hear a single word the kids said. However, the songs were fun, and Kylee looked cute as Little Bo Peep. She was super excited that she got chosen for a speaking part.
One of Ally and Skyler's new favorite things to do is go for rides. Whether it's the baby doll stroller or the shopping cart, Ally climbs in and Skyler pushes her all over the house. They both think it's hilarious.
On Saturday Kylee had another dance recital. She's in the HipHop class this year, and she's really been enjoying it. She did super good on her dance, and even had some "baby freeze" poses that she's been working hard to learn to do.
Lest you think I've turned into one of those parents who brings their 7-year-old flowers to a dance recital, breathe easy. These flowers belong to her teacher, and she just gave them to Kylee to hold for this photo. Andy and I did briefly consider buying a pony and putting a flowered wreathe around its neck to reward her for a job well done, but we didn't want to outshine the other parents who just brought giant stuffed animals and bouquets of 48 roses, so we settled for the good old-fashioned hug and "Kylee you did great!"
Her teacher made stars for them all and hung them on the wall as decorations (because the theme of the recital was "Let's Go To the Movies") so they got to take them home afterwards.
