Silly Sally

In preschool they are using new curriculum this year that centers around a new book each month--they read that same book every day, and most of their crafts/activities are related in some way to the book. This month the book is Silly Sally, who "went to town, walking backwards, upside down." So today was backwards day at school, and the kids wore their clothes backwards. We put her ponytail in the front, and you can see from this picture she is sporting her new short haircut (which has made the morning detangling process a bit easier.)

Me & Baby P
She'll be 6 months old in less than 2 weeks!
R calls this his "stair chair" and "desk" and "computer"
R recently completed the gymnastics lessons he received for his birthday--he really enjoyed it!!

When we started, he would only kind of bounce on the trampoline, then he progressed to one foot leaving the surface, and by the end he was bouncing high with both feet off :)
My parents visited for a few days in April--we went to San Francisco so Paul could try eating oysters for the first time (my Dad's the only one he could find who was willing to eat them with him. Supposedly they were very good.)
Prepping the garden
First oatmeal cereal--she's not too keen on it yet.

These last 2 pics were from the day we went to a baseball game at the local high school--one of the boys from church plays on the team. Dinner was Cheetos from the snack bar...and nobody's died yet.

Easter kids




I don't have any individual pics of R because he had a cold on Easter and wasn't too happy in general, let alone smiling for the camera. But we had a friend take some family pictures at church so we'll see if any of those turn out to be post-worthy. Thanks Grammie for the beautiful Easter outfits! It rained most of Easter Sunday, so we had a lovely afternoon curled up next to a cozy fire.
