April update

Once again, I'm leaving out all sorts of details but beggars can't be choosers, right?!

Easter was here before we knew it! We had the Stone's over for brunch and it was a really great day. Olivia was very surprised to have received the Frozen castle and plays with it everyday. Annie's gifts from the Easter Bunny weren't as plentiful but that'll happen all too soon.

woken up from her nap....not too happy about that!

Olivia was pulling double duty but made sure they had the same number of eggs!

oh.....the grand finale - the castle!

Cy, Olivia and Annie

The following weekend we went to Frozen on Ice with some friends and their girls. Yikes - that was crazy! There were so many kids and so much merchandise for sale! Olivia seemed pretty nonchalant, which was disappointing....but she said she loved it. Annie tagged along for the ride and did really well, thankfully.

The end of April became busy with Olivia adding swim lessons and soccer to her schedule. Duane also filled up his calendar by volunteering to "coach" Liv's soccer team. They have soccer every Monday and Wednesday night from 6-7pm! It's become quite a challenge to get home and have dinner two nights a week and have her off to soccer but we're making it work. She's not exactly as into it as Duane would like but then again, she's only 4. (and maybe takes after me and my super lack of interest in anything athletic!) She loved getting new gear, though! In fact, as we left Dick's Sporting Goods with her wearing her cleats and soccer shorts, she asked Duane if he would play with her when we got home. She couldn't have made his day any better; it was sooo sweet!

We ended the month with Duane's 34th birthday! We had a nice dinner and then had to shove cake in our mouths at record speed because both girls decided to melt down about the same time....so it goes!
