Our neighbor Jeannie was out of town last weekend and her mother was there to take care of Charlie and Jonathan. We played with them outside and then went home to eat before the t-ball game. As we were eating dinner, Miller looked at me and asked very seriously "Is Charlie's new mom coming to the game?"
I almost spit out my drink. The idea of Miller thinking his mom was swapped out for someone twice her age....just like that...is just hilarious. And so cute. It reminds me that although Miller can seem so mature at times, she really is only 3.
And right now, I am still loving the cute things they say every day. And I'm also feeling a little sad, because soon they will be 4 and 6, and at some point, cute things change to smart things. Or sassy things. And I know I'll look back and wonder "What was it we used to laugh at?". So I'm starting s a little list....some of this is pronunciation, and some of it is just them saying things wrong and we haven't bothered to correct them. I'm having a hard time coming up with things off the top of my head, so I'm going to update this as I think of things. Hopefully some time in elementary school they'll learn that they really aren't sleeping in Gajamas.
COLBY:
Gajamas
insept of- except for....it's amazing how often he uses this phrase
Sunting- something
long sleeve pants- if you're not wearing shorts...
Old McDonalds- where we rarely ever go
Bobby- vitamin
MILLER:
Mi-Wur- name
Other one bear- her way of asking for her second bear when she was 2....she still does it.
Charwee- best friend
Gajamas- thanks to Colby
Gobbles- goggles

Early Spring....in pictures
There is simply too much to write, so I will make this short and sweet with a picture summary of the past month.
We've spent a lot of time outside enjoying this beautiful weather. Their newest sport is roller skating.
Miller had her first ballet recital....
and enjoyed doing the choo choo with her friends.
Ta-dah!
We've had many pizza get togethers with our neighbors Charlie and Jonathan.
Charlie and Miller love to dress up....
and dress down into something more comfy. (the pajama sharing is now their favorite activity)
Colby started t-ball. Let's just say he's all about having fun and making people laugh. Not so much about t-ball. His time will come....he's only 5.
Little jokester waiting to bat.
Charlie and Miller experimented with paints.....on their arms. That was a fun surprise at preschool pick up.
We took the kids to the local bowling alley for the first time.
Lee and Colby really enjoy their nerf gun battles. We are fighting terror right here at home.
Miller dressed up for a princess birthday party followed by....
Disney Princesses Live. Princesses, cotton candy, a flashing toy.....she loved every minute of it.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Virginia, Colby and Lee rode an elephant.
We had our first trip to Busch Gardens, and Colby was such a little dare devil. He rode everything he could for his height and cannot wait to ride the big roller coasters (he's a little too short this year). I am in SO much trouble next year.
The Easter bunny came!
Colby got Beyblades...and if you don't know what that is, you obviously aren't a five-six year old boy.
Lee is preparing the kids for their first real climb outside.....by having them rappel down our swing set.
And that's what's been going on....in a nutshell!
