Appreciating: April Showers

- May 07, 2015

April was a hodge-podge of weather. There were quite a few April showers… so we found our fun inside when necessary. Then, when the skies cleared… we headed where else but out favorites… the playground and beach.

Lana spends her indoor time standing on couches, tables, ottomans... and pretty much anything else you can think of. Her vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. The favorite phrase these days is... thank you. Seriously may be the cutest thing to ever enter your ears. She says it all day long... but totally at the right moment. I contribute her sister to her expanded vocabulary, they spend the day in conversation. Lana has followed suit to her sister in the waking morning hours... "watch a show!" followed by... "Calliou." Lord help us.

Kaelyn's indoor fun consists of puzzles. It blows my mind how quickly she can assemble a 24-piece puzzle. No joke she is faster than her father and I. She is also a master of getting herself dressed, making her bed, and assisting with dinner preparation. I have trained her well.

I will randomly find these two giving each other hugs... and it stops me in my tracks every time. Lana is also a fan of giving sis a big 'ol hug after she goes potty.

Sleep strikes equal one little girl passing out on her mamma. Who needs to get anything done when this little one is cuddled all cozy-like on you?

Once we were able... we escaped outside. There is actually a playground near us that still has one of these contraptions. I totally understand why these pretty much no longer exist... wheel of death.

While enjoying a park playdate with friends and donuts, Lana decided to steal her sisters pretty much full bottle of chocolate milk and dump the entire thing on her head. I'm not exaggerating... she looked as though she had been slimed. I was stunned for a moment and luckily had a towel on hand to dry her off. Only after did my friend Jessica and I think to take a picture. This kid.
