Pandora

I've heard people talk about Pandora, but I didn't quite understand what it was. Boy had I been missing out! All I have to do is type in a song, an artist or a category like Disney and then it plays that music like a special radio station just for me, AWESOME! Here's a little game we like to play. I turn on the Disney songs and Audrey listens to see what Disney movie it's from and then runs to her room to change into that princesses dress and then prances around like she is that princess. Love her!

Brandon's Idea of Playing

Brandon brought in Melanie's bath and insisted that we put Melanie in there. I reluctantly obliged, I wasn't sure what he was wanting to do. Once I got her in there he was ready to push her around the house! He's such a little boy.

Shall We Go to the Ball?

Audrey was taking longer than normal to get ready for bed the other night, so we asked her what was going on. She proceeds to come into the family room dressed as so and states in some sort of accent that she is ready to go to the ball. What a nut!

4 Year Check Up

Audrey was a nervous wreck before her doctors appointment, the poor thing. I wasn't even sure if she would need shots and I kept telling her that. Once we found out she needed 4, I almost wanted to start crying for her. She was trying so hard to be brave, but when she would talk I could tell she was trying not to cry. This lovely little gown perked her up a little bit, who knows what she is doing though. She liked the actual check up with the doc. She weighs 42 pounds and is 41 1/2 inches tall. She is in the 75 th percentile for height and weight. The shots were pretty traumatic, she doesn't whimper or squint a little she full on screams and starts kicking her legs where they poke her, oh my goodness it's an ordeal! I strongly believe in vaccines so I know it's worth it, but good grief it's pathetic. Two minutes later she is totally fine and asking for her sticker and sucker! We are so lucky and grateful to have a happy healthy girl.

Our Easter

Our ward had a fun Easter egg hunt and breakfast at a park the Saturday before Easter. Pete ended up having to work, so I debated whether or not to go. I'm glad we went because Audrey & Brandon loved it. Audrey and her friends conversation while opening their eggs was so cute. They were so surprised opening each egg. The biggest excitement came from opening eggs with Reece's! Easter Eve Here is what the kids woke up too. I really wanted to get the CD with primary songs for this year, and a couple church books for them but the Dollar Store and Target were the only stores I managed to get to this year. Next year I will try to do better. Now, I'm fully aware it's ridiculous for an Easter Bunny to bring a tramp! We went back and forth about whether we should get this, we fell in love with it at Sam's Club. We live in a lovely cul-de-sac and the kids are used to us going outside and playing in the front yard, that has changed a little bit now that I need to nurse and...

What's Your Name?

Chances are if you ask Brandon what his name is he will respond with Arse. We have no idea where this came from, but it makes us laugh.

3:00 pm

I kinda dread this time of day. All of us are getting a bit stir crazy and it's never a pretty picture. Pinterest has been my friend and I've been getting some fun ideas for cheap little activities to do with the kids. This particular day we blew up balloons and hit them with pool noodles. Super cheap and kept them happy for about an hour and a half! That's amazing.

This is what happens when...

Audrey dresses herself. Capris , socks and ballet flats. Just darling, I love it :) This is what happens when Pete gets home around 8:30/9:00 me covered in sleeping babies. Audrey is sometimes sleeping on my legs. I'm all out of energy so the bedtime routine many times gets thrown out the window on these nights.
