Apple Blossoms

Last Friday we picked Charlotte up from school and headed up to the Apple Orchard to see all the blossoms. It was so pretty but the kids were so not into it. Charlotte's legs itched from all the high grass, there were bees everywhere pollinating the flowers and Killian was just grumpy. Caroline was off in her own little world. It was slightly stressful but it was good to get my camera dusted off! 

 This photo just kills me. Caroline is a piece of work and marches to the beat of her own drum. While Charlotte and Killian are exchanging dandelions, Caroline is doing backwards rolls in the grass.

 The girls got along for five partial minutes while I tried to take some cute pictures for their room. They still only have photos from when Caroline was a newborn. Oops.

 Charlotte cooperated for the most part which was pretty good after a long day of school!

 Caroline is working on her photo taking face!

 Poor Killian was just not happy. I managed to get one where he was not screaming.

We planned to take a picnic up but it didn't happen, maybe next year!

Spring Concert and Mothers Day

I apologize for not blogging- I will try and catch up!

Last week was a busy one! Thursday morning we cleaned the house up as much as you can with two kids at home. I can't remember when I last mopped the floors, and once I was finished I remembered why I don't very often. While I was vacuuming the bathroom Killian was in the kitchen dumping pancake mix all over the clean floor... He had a great time dumping it on the dog also. 

We picked Charlotte up and headed home as she had her spring concert that evening. Killian's teacher from school was coming to babysit so we had an early dinner. In case you were wondering what it's like to eat with a 1.5 year old, it's difficult...

Charlotte sang two songs at the beginning of the performance and did great! It was so nice to see her so comfortable on stage!

Grammy and Papa came over for the show and we stopped on the way home for ice cream!

The next morning Chris let Baylie out to see that our friend the bear was back! He spent a good while picking up all the trash from the woods.

Killian woke up early so we all went together to get donuts before school/work!

Chris dropped Charlotte off and headed to work while Grammy and Papa came home with us.

That afternoon the grandparents could go to school and see what Charlotte does in her day. Charlotte lucked out with PE outside in the 85+ degree heat!

Once we got home Charlotte got her rain jacket on and pouted because there were bugs... Typical!

Saturday was busy. Caroline had ballet rehersal and Charlotte had a birthday party! It was an indoor pool party and she had a blast!

The bear returned late Friday night but luckily we noticed the garbage in the woods (unopened) before it was strewn about. Chris ran to the dump at 11:00 pm to dump the garbage and happened to find a tandem bike attachment! We tried it on Saturday and the girls had a blast! Charlotte was nervous at first but quickly fell in love with it!

Killian is still a bit too small and wasn't happy about not being included!

Caroline rode in style, undies and cowboy boots!

Sunday we had a low key Mother's Day. The kids made me a beautiful magazine storage toilet paper roll holder combo for the bathroom!

Chris got a call from our friend Willie saying he was driving through and wanted to say hi, so he came for a bit and the kids (chris included) took his dirt bike for a ride!

We've had lots of fun in the past few days! 

Kelly and Michaels Wedding

This past weekend we headed to Long Island to celebrate Kelly and Michaels wedding. Charlotte just so happened to be the flower girl. Charlotte and I headed over to Uncle Rodney and Aunt Karens just after lunch and waited to go to the church. Charlotte had beautiful flowers in her hair and to hold. 

Uncle Rodney looked beautiful also :)

We took the party bus to the church and Charlotte loved all the big girls and music the ride there. Of course, due to traffic we were late arriving but Charlotte was ready and did a great job walking down the aisle.

After the ceremony we had some time to kill before the reception. I tried my best to take some photos of the kids!

Grandma's cousin and sister were both there, which was so nice!

We headed over to the reception and took some more pictures before Caroline threw up Shirley Temple on her white dress, and then spilled maranara sauce all over it!

It was a beautiful wedding and we were so happy to be a part of it!
