Spring has Sprung

THANK GOODNESS!!!!

The big wheels are up from the basement and warm-weathered toys are down from the attic!  Even my lawn chair has gotten a little use!

My oh my, we are keeping our calendar full.  We've been making trips to Michigan, Columbus, and Cincinnati!  And of course we're keeping busy with "normal" life including trips to the baseball diamond whenever there is a home game!

Kensinger Grandkids on Easter Sunday!

Helping make blueberry muffins!

Jack has grown so much during his year at "school"!  He knows his alphabet and numbers and can write his name!  His following directions and listening has gotten better as well!  He's a creature of habit and asks for a ham sandwich and green grapes every day for lunch!  Cinnamon Toast Crunch and BBQ chips are favorites as well!  And any time I ask what he wants for dinner, its either tacos or wings!  He likes doing chores...he's learning the value of a quarter!  He and Mark got his first baseball glove and he's constantly asking to train!  He's recently discovered the joys of Marvel's Avengers and is a Spidey fan!

Batter up!

Going to his first non-cousin birthday party!  (He dressed himself...they both have red!)

Spiderman!

Roman is a stinker!  His two's have become less terrible although he still has moments of tantrums and his listening is less than desirable!  However, Jack's influence on him is insane!  The good and the bad!  His words are increasing even though he still loves his "bubbies" (i.e pacifier).  Yes, he named it.  He's finally napping during the allotted time at daycare and on the mornings he wakes up early, he's content sitting on the bathroom counter watching me get ready!  He's always willing to "help"...with laundry, garbage, vacuuming, or any other tasks we request!  He tries desperately to keep up with his big brother while playing outside but seems content to stop mid-way down the sidewalk to let Jack pass on his big-wheel or scooter!  We have finally dropped the bottle and PediaSure and he's discovered the joys of 'Strawberry & Cream' oatmeal!  He's still able to make a meal of yogurt and cheese and he loves any meal with rice!  (Although my floor does not!)

Helping Nana K water her flowers!

Morning games of Hide 'n Seek!

Learning to hoard "chooches"!
