Another tease of nice weather . . . and the kids were begging to be outside. We are going to wear those scooters out that Aunt Diana gave them for their birthday. They love them!

Reese's quilt is done! Rag quilts are super easy -- definitely good for a beginner if you're wanting to make a quilt. It's like quilting backwards in my opinion. I love the colors. 1 down, 3 to go!

Ethan earned a trip to Grammy & Papa's house all by himself today for behaving well at school. Reese took a long nap so I got some creative time all by myself to work on Reese's quilt. It's done too . . . in the washing machine right now. The easiest and quickest quilt I ever made.

We got creative with some paint today. They really had fun. Ethan's painting looked like fireworks, Addison made me under a rainbow, and Caden first said his was a firetruck but then he called it a boob.

We had a picnic on the living room floor tonight. Trying to do more creative things this month. The kids loved it, ate lots, and nothing got spilled. Ethan and Reese must work on the "family style" of eating. They both feel the need to help themselves to everything in a bowl, we never eat this way at the table because of this problem. Ethan has always been this way, he was robbed of food in the womb and he's still affected by it.

We took the kids to Bounce Town today. They had a blast in all those blow up things. It's very loud and hard to keep track of your 4 little kids with only 2 adults. Most parents park themselves at a table and the kids just run -- we don't do that. We lasted about 90 minutes before I was couldn't stand the BIG (too big in my opinion) almost running over everyone so we left. It wore them out!

I am working on learning my camera. I spent an hour reading and playing with my camera. Addison is an eager model. I was practicing on aperture and depth of field. See how the background is all blurry and she's in focus -- that's depth of field. However maybe I should have spent 10 seconds fixing the model's hair first, huh?
