Here’s a random April photo dump!
Samantha and Amelia are SO silly– particularly when they don’t nap (we still do quiet time for a minimum of 1.5 hours a day, even if they don’t fall asleep). They literally walked downstairs on a random Tuesday after quiet time was over like this and I started filming– it’s one of their funniest videos of all time. And in case you are wondering why they are wearing sports bras, they convinced Jake to buy them each one on a random errand run to Target (because they are manipulative and know they can convince Daddy to buy them anything!)
I have a feeling Amelia was the instigator on this one.
Our friends, the Erpeldings, got a new bunny, Mango! Meredith and the twins could spend hours over there cuddling him.
Meredith and Gavin on a “date.”
The girls always make me the prettiest bouquets.
Meredith loves to make cakes and cupcakes for me at the park.
Toddlers not interested in the games their mommies want them to play!
The days where it is just Meredith and me can be the most challenging. The twins are really great at distracting and entertaining her, so when it’s just her and I at the park, she’s bored out of her mind!
So strong willed. This happens 5.8 times a day.
Easter crafts!
We worked on refreshing our table manners because meal times were driving me absolutely crazy with all the getting out of seats, bouncing up and down in seats, elbows on the table, talking with mouth full, etc. We instituted a short-term ticket system where the girls were able to earn tickets to a private “Manners Tea Party” once they reached a certain number of tickets for good table manners. The twins were so excited for their tea party (Meredith obviously did not earn enough to join us!)
A fun taco, s’mores and movie night with Kennedy and Sebastian!
Daddy daughter date checking out a fun new park.
Meredith loves gymnastics and is very strong compared to the other kids.
Daddy daughter date to the Bubblefest show at the Cube and dinner out afterwards.
One of Meredith’s favorite pastimes is dumping out the contents of my purse. She loves to sneak away after breakfast when I’m distracted getting the girls ready for school and cleaning up and usually runs under the dining room table, going through lipstick, my wallet and any other treasures. Here she is caught red-handed!
Good thing you are cute, Meredith!
Lots of love,
