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!
