April Smiles and Showers

Another great week for A^4. Ayson's school was on spring break so he spent Monday and Tuesday with Addie, Sam, and Ben at Linda's and then the rest of the week at the daycare program that is run out of his school. Apparently Sam and Ben could not stop talking about Ayson and even called their Daddy (Mommy's colleauge) "Ayson" a few times once they got home from Linda's :)

Tuesday:
It was a little cool BUT the sun was out and the trampoline was dry so we got a bit of bouncing in after dinner.
Smiles while bouncing.



Ayson can really jump!!



Investigating the spring flowers



Wednesday:
It was rainy Wednesday and Thursday but that gave us time to put together the puzzle from Nana and Papa.



Thursday:
Finishing the puzzle from Nana and Papa



Friday:
Addie upset after Ayson got mad at her for taking the puzzle apart. Addie stated she just wanted to "help."   :)



Saturday was cold and dreary so we spent the day inside catching up on chores and playing.  Ayson showing Addie how to play a game on Addie's little computer.



Ayson playing with the tablet the Grandma Collene gave him for Christmas.
Both Mommy and Daddy have noticed that Ayson acts AND looks more mature than even just a few months ago.  Our small fry is growing up!!!



Mommy's phone did a system update and one of the new "bells/whistles" is that "selfies" can be taken with a simple hand movement and then the picture takes after 3 seconds.  Both kids had fun "taking" the pictures :)






Sunday was absolutely gorgeous and the temps reached the mid to high 60s. Mommy and Daddy have a rule that we can't have a gin and tonic until it is 70 degrees outside...SO, we moved the outside thermometer to the back (stone) porch...and in the sun...92 degrees, baby! That first GnT of the season is always so refreshing :)

We did a bunch of yard clean up and then Daddy lit a small bonfire to get rid of brush AND so the kids could make S'mores (to roast something more substantial than a skittle). Gianna came over to play and Gianna and her Mom, Jo, also gave the kids 3 big bags of books!  We LOVE books, Thanks, Gi and Jo!!



Daddy smoked his first batch of ribs for the season AND we ate outside.  Yay! We are all wiped out and ready for bed and it is not even 7:30 :)
