Back in February we took a family vacation to a resort that had 3 indoor waterparks! The kids thought it was great...but their favorite part was....
...the 3-person jacuzzi tub in our condo. "3-person??" you ask? Well, look at it, what would YOU call it??
Chatterbox, in a quest to make some extra spending money, decided to sell massage time to the family. Daddy was so proud...and was gladly her first customer!
We eat so many apples at our house (Chatterbox alone will eat 2 apples a day!) that DH decided it would be cheaper in the long run to plant our own orchard. So 4 apple trees arrived via Fed Ex and we planted them....in the snow and freezing cold weather. Hey, they aren't going to grow in a box in the garage!
Drama Queen (sporting her new haircut--see other post) found a new napping spot.
Drama Queen turned 3 in April. I made her cake (a couple pictures down) and Chatterbox, who loves to decorate cakes, decorated her own for Drama Queen. I know, it looks like something from a Dr. Seuss book, but it is covered in 100% love! They ate it the night before the big day with the babysitter while Mom and Dad went out for supper.
DH took JUST the Birthday Girl out for breakfast, as is starting to be the tradition at our house. He said he learned all kinds of things he never knew before!
Drama Queen's cake, in honor of her new hairstyle, was fashioned after herself. (It is actually a Strawberry Shortcake cake pan I got off of ebay.) Looks just like her, don't you think?? When we cut it to eat it, she only would allow us to cut certain parts--had to start with the hat, then go to the shirt, leaving the face, particularly the eyes for the last. She saved the last piece for so long that I finally had to throw it out because it had turned ROCK HARD. (Shhhhh--don't tell her. She doesn't realize I've thrown it out yet.)
In honor of her love of helping Mommy cook, she got some new kitchen toys.
The kids have big plans for the farmers market this year. Here they're helping Daddy plant 6 rows of sweet corn in the field with the rest of the corn. Daddy told them, "If you're going to sell it, you're going to help me plant it!"
...and yes, everyone helped, although Drama Queen's job was just to stand there and look pretty.
My sister is getting married very soon, so I got to help with a Bridal Shower in her honor. Aren't they cute???
For the shower, we (the kids and I...can't you just see DH making these?? HA!) tried a friend's recipe for mini candy dipped apples. Mmmm, they were yummy!!
Finally, we went to an air show and saw my FAVORITE--the Blue Angels. They were AWESOME!
And what do you do at an Air Show once you've gotten bored? Get a quarter and try to squeeze it over your eye and act like a Pirate. Hey, that's not easy for a barely-3-year-old! (And it's not easy trying to explain to her how to do it!)
THAT'S what we've been up to lately. Well, that and a gazillion other things.
