"The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round"

We happen to live across the street for the Jr High and Allie sees the buses coming to and from the school to pick up the kids and every day asks if she can ride the bus. I always tell her that she is to little to ride the bus and that when she goes to school then she "might" ride the bus. The elementry school is across the street too so that might never happen, poor little girl. Well I remembered that a wonderful lady in our lives happens to drive a bus and will be retireing this year, so I made a phone call to her and set up a day that we could take a ride on her bus. Allie loved it. She got all buckled up in the seat and sang the wheels on the bus with the bus driver. She learned that the bus has to stop and look both ways when it gets to the train tracks. When the ride was over Allie got to honk the horn and was given a matchbox bus and a magnet that hangs on our fridge to remind her of her fun ride.




To catch up a little...We spent all day Saturday with the help of my wonderful brother in law Chad, setting up a swingset for the kids. It was so cute to see how excited allie and her cousins and the little girl next door were when they finally got the chance to swing on it. We need to go buy a bucket swing so trevor can take a turn, he loves to swing.


I thought I would throw in this picture of Trevor..He was eating his bottle and fell asleep in the middle of it. So sweet!

Finally

I know, I know, it has been a while since I have posted anything. This will be a post to catch up on everything. Saturday we had a yard sale with the goal of getting enough money to buy Allie and Trevor a wooden swingset. We knew we wouldn't get eough to run right out and buy one, but it does help the pocket book a little. While we are saving up the rest of the money we decided to buy Allie a bike. She was so excited when she woke up from her nap to see a bike sitting in the front room. She hasn't quite gotten the knack to petal on her own. She gets stuck when the petal are at the top of the rotation. She tends to push back on the brake instead of forward. A couple of days ago we were hanging out at home and Allie decided she wanted to share her tea from her "tea party" with Trevor. It was so cute, I had to get this picture of them drinking imaginary tea. And finally, Trevor was sitting in his bouncy chair and was kicking like crazy and trying to talk, I shot this little video of him enjoying himself.

Poor Trevor

On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday Trevor was fighting temperatures of 102 degrees and up. You could tell he wasn't feeling well by the lack of his huge smile he usually gives everyone. Saturday morning we woke up to normal temps and smiles all around. Then Sunday came and out popped the spots. Poor Trevor got Roseola. The spots are starting to fade now.




Here is a picture of my baby right after getting out of the tubby. So cute!!


And I finally got a picture of my kids in their Easter outfits

Green Thumb

I decided today to get out and weed my flowers before the rain started. Allie came out and helped me by getting the little hand shovel and dug up some dirt and threw it on the grass and the sidewalk and a worm :) She then decided that she wanted to plant some flowers so she picked my tulips and tried to plant them in the dirt. It was so very cute. I would have taken pictures, but I had muddy hands and didn't want to leave her alone on the busy road to get the camera. So now you know who to call if you want help planting your flowers.
