Finally some warm, sunny weather

The weather has finally warmed up a bit around here! April was very rainy, as usual...

 ...and brought tons of flowers ready for May. Reid picks me all the flowers on a regular basis. <3

 Miles and I made banana bread while the big kids were at school... it was very stressful. Haha! I'm shocked he didn't end up with handfuls of batter in his mouth. It pretty much stopped just short of that. He sure had fun mashing the bananas and watching the "mixeler" go though.

 Ruby finally had her first t-ball game! She wore her pink belt. Hah! She was so cute and did a great job.

 The boys and I went for a little bit and then headed home for bed while Andy and Ruby finished out the game.

 Right after her first big hit!

 Then on Thursday we walked over to Terra Linda park in the late morning. It took me just about forever to get Reid out of the house, but I'm glad he finally got dressed and wanted to go.

 Miles loved walking in the tall grass. And then we saw the mower coming and they were both fascinated.

 It got awfully quiet while I was making dinner... Hahaha! Reid used every single towel we own, and Miles was just dumping away.

 Spaghetti Freddy.

 We ate hard boiled eggs all week.

 Ruby set up a "calming corner" for herself like they have at school. She's so cute.

 We occasionally get pictures of her at school from her teacher, I love it. They were writing poems outside.

 Twinsies!

 Miles got out the can opener, took off his socks, then tried to cut his toenails. Haha!

 Sidewalk chalk...

 We let Ruby stay up for about 30 minutes extra on Friday night and played Egyptian Rat Slap with just the three of us. She LOVED it and couldn't stop giggling. She even won! Although I have been very impressed with her lately, she no longer gets upset or throws fits when she loses. She's really growing up.

 Ruby had an idea that we all draw our bedrooms. It was fun!

 We borrowed Battleship from the library.

 He's obsessed with bubbles!

 And he loves to help stir the eggs in the morning.

 Ruby wanted to think of rhyming words. Haha... riy! She did pretty good though!

 On Sunday Andy was at church all day doing production, so the kids and I stopped at a lovely new park on the way home from church. It was SO fun and they all behaved so well! We'll definitely do that again soon. Miles can go down the bigger slides all by himself now.

 Nap time Candyland.

 I started vacuuming the living room, and Miles ran around rescuing the toys and books that were still out and put them in his tractor.

It was so warm yesterday that the kids got out swimsuits and the kiddy pool! We can't wait until summer.
