"Spring" Play Group

We are continuing to enjoy our play group. We are always doing fun stuff, but I haven't been great at snapping pictures as of late. Probably because Titus is now walking and trying to get into every activity we do!

We recently did a "Spring" themed day. Here the kids are making flower pics using their fingerprints and craft materials.

We brought our sand table and filled it full of dirt! I know it sounds messy...and it was. But, the kids LOVED it. At the end we used the potting soil to plant our own seeds in cups.
Did, I mention Titus is into everything? Well, it is worth mentioning again. E-V-E-R-Y thing!
I buried "treasures" for the kids to dig for in the dirt.

Our Daddy is the Best...

daddy in the whole world because he took us to a mother/daughter fancy birthday party when mom was sick. He painted our nails, made hair bows, and was THE ONLY GUY THERE. Not even the birthday girl's daddy was in attendance.

First Sleepover

Back in January our girls had their first official sleep over at the Whetstone's house while Jeremy and I went to the Discover adoption seminar. It was the first time they had spent the night at someone's house other than their grandparents. So, we had been wanting to return the favor. We have had "sleep overs" before with Sadie, Kinnick, Macey, & Hannah but their moms came too. So, this was our first official sleep over with just kids. Grace & Faith were very excited and put on make-up to get ready. Grace also picked out a "boy" shirt with a basketball on it in honor of boys coming over. (This sounds very much like they were trying to impress, but it was all very innocent.)

They were excited to put on their pjs and watch a movie with popcorn.
Here Logan and Titus toddled down to the girls' room to drag books off the shelf while the older kids were playing in the back yard.
Titus & Logan went to bed great. The older kids had a bit of a harder time, but overall I'm sure there will be LOTS of much later nights at future slumber parties! The Whetstones are dear friends and I am enjoying watching the kids' friendships develop.
