Spring Break
Daddy was gone for the first part of spring break. So we decided to have a girl's night. We made carrot cake cake balls (Kirsten's favorite). We got in our swimsuits and had a shaving cream fight, watched shows...We always love our girl's nights!
Veggie buddy
Colton had an assignment a few weeks ago to make a person or an animal out of vegetables. We decides to make a train engineer on a train. Well, mommy decided that and I pretty much made it by myself. Colton's a little handsy. Anyway, it turned out awesome. Colton and Max could not stop looking at it. I had to put it back together a few times before turning it in. He ended up winning 1st place for his class! And he was in the newspaper!
Kirsten said she wanted to eat it...Colton did not like that idea. I had to wait til he was sleeping to throw it away before it got too disgusting.

Conference Weekend
We had a great conference weekend, except daddy was out of town:(. The kids had a great time playing outside most of Saturday (which was really nice for mommy too). On Sunday they had fun doing their conference activities.
Colton (never published this so it's super late)
Today is Colton's 5th birthday! I cannot believe he is 5 already! He says something everyday that makes me laugh.
Some recent Colton stories I want to remember:
-a couple weeks ago we were at Walgreens. Colton was sitting in the back of the cart when we were in the checkout line. This lady came up behind us. Colton said to her "my name's Colton, what's your name?". She told him her name and then he said "I'm 5 years old. What's your number?". The lady very kindly played along and told Colton she's 52. As we left the store Colton very loudly said "she's 52 mom!" over and over.
-I asked Colton what kind of cake he wants for his birthday. He said he wanted a "rainbone (rainbow) train cake". I said "a rainbow train cake?", "yes! It will be so beautiful". I showed him a bunch of train cakes and he liked them all he decided he needed 10 cakes and that would make him feel better.
-yesterday I decided to take 5 seconds of privacy in the bathroom by locking the door. Colton came to the door and said "mom! You locked us out!", "open the door!", "you're hurting my heart!".
-he is scared of 2 boys at school, Kyle and Jacob. His teacher finally figured out why yesterday. Colton said Kyle is Jacobs ghost. I asked him about it after school. He said Kyle is spooky, "ooooh" ( like a spooky ghost would sound with his hands up). I started laughing and he said, "hey, why you laughing at me mom?". I guess it's pretty sad at school, but it's pretty funny when he talks about it at home.
He is so sweet and so funny! He's so loving and affectionate. If anybody is sad he is sad. He thinks Max and Kirsten should have anything they want, especially if they get upset about not getting what they want. I took Colton to school today without Kirsten and daddy. Colton told me he wants "mommy, max, daddy, and Kirsten. I want my whole family."
He told us he doesn't like trains anymore; he likes letters especially the letter w. we have a c and m in the boys rooms for their names. Colton will not let that m be an m. He turns it around to be a w if anybody tries to fix it. Of course daddy let Colton pick out a toy at target today after they went to lunch together and Colton picked out a train.

Chapter books
Kirsten has turned into quite the reader lately. This was the first chapter book she read by herself and now she loves to read them every night before bed. I can't believe how much she's grown in the last year!
Valentine's Day
We decorated some delicious sugar cookies the day before Valentine's day.
On valentines day I went to Kirsten's party at school. The boys were both at mothers day out, so I actually got to enjoy my time there without chasing 2 little boys around.
The kids made some Valentine's crafts. Then they danced to the Cupid shuffle. The best was when they played pass the grapefruit. I love how happy those kids were. They were all cracking up. Then they had lunch. I loved sitting with her at lunch. She had a great Valentine's Day!

Children's museum
Grammy kept telling us about this children's museum in a small town in Oklahoma. We finally decided we better go last Saturday. We met Grammy for breakfast and then we were off. Kirsten wondered if it was worth the log drive to get there, but as soon as we did, she knew it was.
All the kids ran from room to room. I hardly saw Colton , he wanted to play on the red fire engine and black car. Kirsten loved the school, the store, the construction area, taking care of newborns... Max loved everything. He was all over the place.
We had a great time!
