Chore Time!

I have decided if you create the stains you have to apply the stain remover.  Here is Kylie helping out.  Please note that she thought every shirt had a stain, which isn't too far from the truth!

 

Catch Up

I feel like I need to play catchup.  We have been doing so many things the last few weeks and haven't stopped for a hot second.

Approx three weekends ago Mom came in town as Brian was at a Volleyball Tournament and we took Kylie to see Disney on Ice - Toy Story 3.  She was in awe the entire time and I don't think she even blinked.  

Here she is in shock!!

 Way to capture the entrance moments and the pure Joy!

 Kylie and I plus her stickers! Not bad seats four rows from the ice

The following weekend we had Easter Preparations, Holiday Work Parties and Easter...

Here we are as a family making our Easter Peep Topiary and the finished product!  Never fear - Grandma took the picture and well Grandpa was at the table but on his computer.

We attended Brian's work Holiday Party celebrating Passover and Easter.  It was a blast, with a bounce house, clowns, games, music, dancing, and so much more.

Here is Kylie getting her face painted!

 Here is Kylie with her baloon art and a smile!

 

Who is up for a little hula hoop?

Nothing like making your Daughter into a mummy!  Hi to Grandpa and Grandma in the background!

Party Hop!

Easter Morning - Kylie was thrilled to see some "hidden" eggs as she came down the stairs.  We are still hiding the plastic eggs today!

 

ALVIN!! - This movie has been watched over 20 times since Easter morning no joking

 

Toy Story Fork and Spoon Set plus the rocket ship plate  a MUST! 

 

We were fortunate to have a friend whom makes cake pops and made this delicious bouquet for Easter for us! 

One Chick DOWN! 

 

School Projects

Kylie had a school project this week to have certain pictures taken of her getting ready for school and her getting ready to go to sleep.  Here are some of the shots that we submitted.

Recycle

Kylie wanted to make sure to bring in the recycling bins today from the curb.  She takes her chores seriously and carried this all the way up the driveway!  (I do have to point out she was wearing a sweater in 84 degree heat while doing manual labor)

 

French Toast Fridays

With week three almost under our belt, Kylie is enjoying going to Park Springs Elementary.  While I am convinced the lunch line and the school bus are her favorite things I am sure she enjoys the classroom too.  At least I hope! She enjoys going through the school cafeteria and getting her tray of food. As you will see from below, thanks to our neighbor and 1st grade teacher Mrs. Pankratz who happened to be in the cafeteria at the same time here is Kylie is enjoying French Toast Friday!

As Another Weekend Comes To a Close

We reflect on all the great things we did this weekend.  Swimming and playing, riding bikes, a mini Straub reunion.  Oh my!

There was also bubbles

Tug A War!  Plus a sneaky tactic to get the ball back

  

Frozen Non-Alcoholic Drinks

There was flower sprinkler playing.  Mommy and Daddy enjoyed a few rounds through the water too!

Most of all  there was love and laughter!   

Oh Mother Nature!!

We were all super excited this weekend to attend Mr Blue's Event!  Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans as the temperature went from 80s to low 60s in approx 10 mins.  Very windy and a lot of rain doesn't equal a fun outdoor event.  Kylie was disappointed but can't wait til the rescheduled event. 

Luckily there were still cake pops.  Of course Kylie loves her Mr. Blue  and was nervous to eat him.  She kept saying Oh No but enjoyed every bite!  Po Po the frog she enjoyed as well!  We are huge fans of the cake pops!  

Until the Whole World Swims and Mother Nature is nice!
