Bye

Some kids had trouble saying goodbye

Fun

We took Nora for her first pedicure 

Lucy was teaching her the ropes and telling her what to do 

Meanwhile, the boys went to Home Depot and got some scrap wood for hammering. They barely fit!

Perot

I only saw the girls!

Shopping

Flowers

Art

Tessa played in the water table but couldn't reach well

Good thing she's got servants

Lucy really liked the brick moving 

Visit

We had company. There were nerf battles.

There was zoo

Nora's "scared of lions" face

Monorail!

James kept yelling "dam it! Dam it!" 

They were making a dam.

Tessa was less sure about it

Today

She doesn't look very ready for bed, but she has her important friends

We call her Messy Tessie

Nora found the N and O herself!

We could call them Messy Lucy and Nora too

Pjs

Here's how Lucy gets a picture

Tessa WILL COME

Get in!

Ta da!!

Spring

Tessa does not want to play in the hose with everyone (almost 90°!) but she's enjoying the festive feeling

Hotel

Justin's uncle was in Austin and we decided to meet in Waco for supper. We ended up in a hotel, to make it a little trip

We jumped on beds

I told everyone if they were quiet at bedtime we could watch cartoons in the morning. Tessa wouldn't listen but everyone else squirmed quietly.

Tessa wanted to be with daddy

And don't worry, we got our money's worth at breakfast

Joy

May your day be as happy as Nora's 

Bath!

Tessa climbed in the tub, hoping that would lead to a bath

A few days ago she climbed into Nora's bath still dressed, so at least there's no water

"Compact Mini Gun"

Math manipulatives? Or weapons?

Helpers

What do the girls do during school? Get involved

Bonus: James' paragraph about a food he loves

She's got big girl pigtails

Cuyyer

Tessa loves to color. Cuyyer! Cuyyer! She yells, probably 10 times a day
