Easter was very busy this year...and also really rainy and cold. The weather made hunting for eggs a very muddy and messy process, but it didn't stop you guys nonetheless! We went to church in New Melle this morning and then came back to Grandma and Grandpa Auping's house for brunch. Then down to Gigi Jo's for dinner. It was a lot of eating and a lot of fun with the cousins, but you guys were dirty and tired and definitely suffering from post easter candy stress when you got home. You were spoiled rotten as usual by Mawmaw's and Gigi's, Aunts and Uncles. You have so much candy it should last until next Easter but the way Quinn eats it, it may not last until the end of the week! We have to watch that little candy junkie! Easter was fun this year but you all missed Mawmaw Julie. She was having a much needed visit with cousin Hadley in TX!
I haven't blogged in a while and a lot has happened in the last month. We've now been living with Mawmaw Julie and Papa Greg for a little over a month now. Things have been overall smooth. Brody seems to have had the most difficulty with the transition but he will adjust eventually. He is our most routine child, he must do his waving/goodbye routine or everyone will suffer. He is obsessed with Batman at the moment. Cars are running a close second but it's superheroes for the moment. He has a shirt with a Batman cap attached to the back that he wants to wear everyday. Needless to say I have to do a lot of laundry to keep up with his needs! He has to get dressed as soon as his feet hit the floor in the am. He still likes to eat eggs, turkey sausage and potato bowls for breakfast, he still loves mac n cheese, he loves breakfast for dinner. He hates taco night and grapes, otherwise he'll eat almost any fruit. He still loves milk and water. He loves his "shooting gun" as he calls it. Trains have taken a backseat to batman, cars and dinosaurs in that order. He doesn't share well but we're working on it. He's a master aggravator to his sisters. He likes to take showers now instead of baths. He LOVES riding his bike around the court. He is VERY whiney at the moment, he doesn't adjust well to change. Papa has currently convinced him that he does in fact have superpowers, he follows Brody around with a laser light and whenever he points his finger, Papa points the laser light at wherever he is pointing. Thus convincing him that he has superpower! Last week he even asked God in his prayers if he could keep his superpowers forever! So cute! He loves TV, if we would let him, he would watch it all day long. He is very into the show "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" right now.
Finley is hilarious and so so smart. She loves to sing to the songs that mommy listens to the radio. Daddy says she will go along with anything....as long as it's slowly. She likes to do everything slow....eat, get dressed, brush your teeth, get in the car, she is always last in the car and last at the dinner table. She is pretty agreeable though. She'll wear whatever you set out, she'll do what she is told, she is such a great big sister to Quinn. She loves to teach her new stuff and read to her. She is a great sharer for the most part. She'll give her siblings anything they ask her for, with the exception of Darla of course. That is a deal breaker! She is hilariously funny. I laugh out loud at least once a day with stuff she says and I'm consistently impressed at how smart she is and how much she picks up on. She loves dance class. She loves to cook and help in the kitchen. She still loves purple and baby dolls. She is a sweet tooth junkie. She loves showers and had to have her own loofah! She loves get her fingernails and toenails painted and would go weekly if I would take her! She'd really like her own bed to sleep in as she currently shares a full sized bed with her brother. He is a bed hog! She falls asleep at the dinner table a lot lately since we took away her nap. She's tired but if we give her a nap, she's up until all hours.
Quinney where do I start? You are the sassiest thing in the house for sure! You are talking up a storm and can say everything now. Conversations are so cute with you. You have the funniest facial expressions and get so excited about everything! You still love to eat and sleep. You dive into your bed for naptimes and bedtime. You love to be read to. Love to play outside. Love to be held and talked to. You have zero patiences and will not wait for a minute for anything. You love to help do stuff. You are fearless. You love stair races on your belly with your siblings, you are probably the fastest at it despite the runburn on your belly! You fall all the time and just right back up and keep on running! You love pretty much anything your brother and sister love, but you will not watch TV. You love Elmo movies, specifically Elmo Goes Potty featuring Elmo's Dad. You think he's hilarious, but you will still only watch the movie for about 10 minutes. Lennon is still your best friend. You love babies and you're starting to be like your big sister always wanting a baby doll to take care of. There is a much littler girl in your class named Anna that your teacher tells me you help take care of. Everyday when I ask you how school went you say, "Anna yittle" (Anna little), as if to remind me that it is your job to take care of her. Another mom told me the other day as we were walking in that you help her dress her daughter Nicole every morning. Such a mother!
April has been a busy, rainy month. We've seen several movies, been to the park a few times, dyed easter eggs, played with water balloons with Mason, and so much more. You guys sure keep us hopping but we do it b/c you guys are just so darn cute!
