Luke went to his first birthday party without the rest of us. It was for his friend Shannon. He was so excited and couldn’t wait to show off his Hulk-kitty face paint when he got home.

We had another birthday party that we all went to on Sunday.

Maggie spent her time split between a bounce house and little pretend market.

On Monday, the kindergarten students hosted a Tea & Read. Luke read Maggie and me some stories and then served us donuts and juice.

Afterwards it was time for ballet for Maggie.

The kids all looked super cute on Wednesday.

On Thursday they all wanted to wear their hippo shirts from Mabel.

Today the boys’ school asked everyone to wear purple, because April is the month of the military child.

Maggie got all dolled up to meet some friends at the mall.

There was a performance by the Cincinnati Circus Company.

And after the show, Maggie got to test out the silks.

I think she’s ready to sign up!

One thing about Mags: whether she’s at ballet,

the bus stop,

listening to her music,

or on her way to gymnastics,

the girl has style.

The Bunny visited this past weekend. Maggie found her basket behind a chair in the living room.

Maggie and Adam both found Luke’s basket before he did. It was hidden inside a big toy. Poor Luke was not pleased they both knew where it was and got a little frustrated. He was thrilled when he finally found it though.

E.B. was extra sneaky when hiding Adam’s loot. It was in the bathroom hanging on the hook under his towel.

Maggie waited until Dave and I were distracted helping the boys and dove right into her chocolate bunny. Between that, her new sparkly silver shoes, and her new George (doll), she was a very happy girl.

Hope you all had a great Easter too!

Adam had asked yesterday morning, that if they were good during pictures we would take them to see the Easter Bunny. I agreed (I’m all about photo ops). We lucked out and the bunny just happened to be hanging out right next to the photo place.

Maggie and Luke were pretty much smiled out at this point, but we managed to get one decent pic out of the fourteen they took.

Unfortunately most of them were along the lines of this one.

The kids were all happy to see the Easter Bunny though, especially Adam. So all in all, it was a good picture day.

We took the kids to get Easter pictures taken today.

Somehow, she managed to get all three of them blinking at the same time.

Maggie was a little nervous about being alone with the bunny. It didn’t help that right after this picture the bunny bolted and jumped across her lap, leaving green spinach drool on her tights as she went. Maggie was not impressed.

These are my favorites in the bunch – I wish Luke wasn’t blurry in a couple of them though.

So. much. sass.
