Misc April

These two sisters fight so much that I love to see them getting along when it happens.  This was so cute, we found them snuggling in the same bed sound asleep.

I know I should have taken the tools away, but I had to get some pictures first!  Lucas reached up onto the counter and got my pink tools and decided to use them as utensils for his meal!  He LOVES tools! 

Matisyn's campaign button:  If I were President of the United States of America I would give money to the poor.  Silly Sentence:  I would let everybody go coo coo!  She is not kidding about those things!

Lucas pulls out the microphones to the wii all the time now.  He busts out some noises and "singing," but mostly just eats them!

All about Emilyn, her poster for her birthday spotlight week for "down the street" preschool.

Matisyn and McKenna in matching outfits

Matisyn brought home an extra leprechaun from school so that they both could make one together.  They spent all Saturday morning working on them.

This kid is trouble now that he has access to the table.  Matisyn actually has to say to her teacher, "sorry, my brother ate my homework" or "sorry, my brother wrote all over my homework."  And aren't crayons tasty!

I feel a little guilty that I took this picture of the girls in complete hysteria, but I couldn't help it.  This is how they have been acting about spiders lately.  Matisyn has a huge fear of spiders, wasps, and mosquitoes, and has transferred that to Emilyn.  They both saw a spider in the playroom, so they ran outside screaming.  Then they saw a spider on the trampoline so they ran into the house, jumped on top of the table and screamed "Mommy" until I found them like this.  They refused to go into the playroom or onto the trampoline for weeks after.  It has been CRAZY!!!  The fears are still there, but we have talked them down a little, and luckily it has died down some now.

Both girls love when brother will snuggle them!

Emilyn sometimes demands snuggles and she doesn't get a happy brother as a result!

Lucas has figured out that if he empties the toy chest he can climb in.  It has been his favorite game lately.  The family room is pretty much constantly destroyed!

Matisyn's drawing of a Once-ler from Dr. Seuss.

The girls have been painting up a storm with these painting pages that you just add water to the paint already on the page.

Happy spring!  Emilyn colored a flower and Matisyn drew and labeled a flower at school.

We are so proud and excited for Matisyn!  She moved up to level 3 gymnastics!  She starts in June.

Emilyn has been practicing nursery rhymes in "down the street" preschool

Matisyn got a drawing book from Mike and Wendy for her birthday and she has been drawing ever since.  She loves it!  This rocket was her first picture from the book.

Emilyn drew a picture of our family:  Lucas, Emilyn, Daddy, Matisyn, and Mommy (Notice she gave Matisyn a pig nose :)!!!

Since Matisyn turned 8 she is old enough to go to activity days.  Since that is my calling at church right now she gets to come with me.  She has loved the activities and it's fun to be there together.  She got very excited with the shamrock stickers at one of our activities!

These three are a handful, but I am so in love with all of them!  Look at those innocent faces!

Misc from my phone

 Lillie and Emilyn love to play dress up and put on make up together!

 This is what Lucas can do to a room in just a few minutes!

Girls' Quotes:

Matisyn:  "We ate the whole pizza and I ONLY got four pieces!"  This from our very light eater.  Too bad she takes all the cheese and toppings off when she eats it, so it's really saucy bread!

Emilyn:  "Sometimes loving people do this..."  She showed me how to suck in a spaghetti noodle and kiss!
