Spring is here!

Well we certainly had enough rain this spring to last a while.  This April was the wettest in 120 years for our area!  Thankfully, no water in our basement and the yard has dried out very well.   Now if we could just keep up with the fast growing grass.... :)

I dont really have many pictures, but the kids are enjoying the days outside now.  They ride bikes, play in the sand, and watch the 4 kittens play.  The boys like to play batman alot inside the house.  Andy is usually one of the villains (Joker), Adam is Batman, Alex is Robin, and Erin is of course Cat Women.  I'm thinking this could be a good theme for Halloween costumes this year! 

Signed Alex up for Kindergarten next year.  He's very excited!  He can't wait to meet new friends, ride the bus, and use his "new" Spiderman lunch box.   He only has a couple more weeks of preschool and he's learned so much.  I can't wait to see how he does next year!  The really funny thing is how much Adam has picked up.  That boy loves to practice his letters and numbers.  I haven't worked with him writing anything, but he's seen and heard Alex do so much that he can recognize letters/numbers as well (if not better!) than Alex.  One day he even wrote Alex's name on the concrete with chalk.  Can't write his yet, but he's seen Alex written so often I guess that one stuck!  I figure next year when Alex is at school, I can work with Adam on his writing skills during nap time.  :) 

Erin didnt get her first tooth until she was 15mo old, and now they are making up for lost time.  Poor girl is pretty cranky these days.  I think I see another set of molars trying to break through.  Erin gibber gabbers a lot these days.  She loves to talk on her pretend phone.  She also likes necklaces.  Hmm.  Guess I dont have a picture of her with one on, but she sure loves wearing them!

Well, we've had lots of showings on our house, but no offers yet.  I haven't started packing yet either.  It's not very motivating when you know packing will make a mess and you haven't sold your house yet either!  But I guess I'll have to have start one of these days.
