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!

Free Cone Day

I have been terrible about blogging, I will go back and update past days but will get back in with today! 

It was another beautiful day! Not quite as warm as yesterday and it was a bit breezy but nice nevertheless. We hung out this morning and picked up the house as much as you can with three kids at home... The girls wanted another picnic outside but it was a bit breezy and they wanted to come in!
We took Caroline up to Ballet. Killian, Charlotte and I went to the park while we waited for Caroline. Killian is much less of a daredevil than Caroline. He is very cautious like Charlotte, which is interesting! He and Charlotte both wanted to be right next to me! 
I pretty much had to force him on the play structure!
Charlotte tried to help him down the slide but he wanted no part of it!
After we picked up Caroline we went and met Chris and Ben and Jerry's for Free Cone Day. The kids love this day each year!




We stopped and got gas and a car wash on the way home. Killian screamed the whole car wash. It wasn't a touch free wash so the big scrubbers freaked them all out a little!
After running to the grocery store we headed home where Killian went right for the sandbox and proceeded to pour sand on his head and laugh hysterically.
He was filthy by the afternoons end and all of the kids were tired! It was a good second day of Vacation!

School and Play date

Caroline and Killian had school this morning, but Killian woke up with his fever still so I kept him home. He has not really wanted to eat but will drink his milk all day long. I hope it doesn't become a habit! He was pretty clingy and hung out on the couch with me and then took a early nap as he was pretty miserable. He loves the thermometer and the remote... both things that would not be good if broken or lost! We went up to see Dr. Katie and then went and got Caroline from school.
Caroline had a great day at school. She got a little nervous when she was asked if she wanted to walk the puppy at school. She doesn't mind Baylie but she has this huge fear of Cats and apparently other dogs. Killian was pleased to see her once she got up from her nap.
Chris came home early and I met him on our road as he was going to stay with Killian while I picked up Charlotte and headed to our friends for a playdate with the girls. Killian just still wasn't feeling too hot so I thought it would be best that he stay at home!
Once I got Charlotte we went to Emily, Hannah and Paige's house where the girls played for almost 2 hours. They and so much fun with the big kids!
There was lots of dress up that took place!
We went home and had dinner, Chris had already put Killian to bed and the girls went down a little bit later, which was nice. It was a lovely end to the week!

Easter

Easter morning I woke up to Charlotte poking me at 6 am, so excited that the Easter Bunny had come. Chris and Caroline were still sleeping and slept in a little bit longer. Charlotte went downstairs and opened her Easter Basket when Mimi came up.
She also realized there were eggs outside and started to look for them.
Caroline woke up soon after and then she went to get Grandma. Grandma slept in Caroline's bed!

Grandma got the girls new gymnastic leotards for Easter and Caroline was so excited!
The kids each got new summer shoes and a book. They got some Peeps, Chapstick and flower seeds!
Chris took Caroline to get donuts and after we had breakfast the kids got dressed and headed outside to do the egg hunt!
Charlotte clearly dominated but Caroline didn't seem to mind and was close behind!
Killian thought the Eggs were the greatest things ever and was so excited.









Once we finished we went inside to check out what was in the eggs!
Killian tried helping himself to Caroline's basket, which she was not pleased with!
Once we were all packed we got in the car and headed to Grammy and Papa's for the night. Charlotte was clearly very tired from staying up late last night!
We made a last minute decision to go over to Grammy and Papa's because Uncle Chuck and Aunt Korey were in town with Kenzi, Cade and Grant and we rarely get to see them as they live in Michigan! They met Charlotte when she was about 2, and Killian last summer at Lisa's wedding but never had met Caroline! Charlotte asks all the time who they are (in pictures) and always talks about wanting to meet them! We stopped at Uncle Rick and Aunt Pam's first for a little visit with everyone. We even managed a family photo!
Charlotte was so happy with the big kids, we hardly saw her!
We headed back to Grammy and Papa's for dinner. We put the little ones to bed before we ate, Charlotte stayed up until past 10pm playing with her cousins! She was one happy 6 year old!
