April Flowers and Fun

Last week was gorgeous and we spent plenty of time outside with the cats watching us from the windows.  All is well with A^4 and we hope the same for our family and friends. Happy Birthday to Pama!!!!

We planted sugar snap peas and spinach on Monday.  The spinach came on a roll of paper - made it easy to plant:)

The kids found grubs in the garden and made the grubs a home in their new flower pots.

Working on another Sudoku puzzle

Addie with a sticker by number puzzle that she completed.

LOOK quick!  Shadow let Ayson hold him.  Poor Ayson, he loves to hold cats and cuddle them but Shadow only cuddles next to Ayson (not on his lap) AND he is not fond of being held.

Our daffodils are blooming!!!

Gorgeous day!

The temps on Thursday reached 79 degrees so we had to break out the sprinkler!!  Last year, we did the same thing on April 25th and the temperature was only 64 - BRRrrr!

We got the bikes ready for the 2021 season.  Addie will need a new bike this year as she has gotten tall!

Can you see the ball that Addie is playing with?

On Friday night, the kids played Minecraft together - they were building their own island worlds.

Saturday was absolutely gorgeous so we made a plan to get up early and hike to the "Tippy Top" before everyone else.  This photo was taken at 9:30 and it felt like we were getting away with something by having the entire view to ourselves for the first 20 minutes.  And then others started to arrive so we started back down.

2021 Family photo

We dinked around in the creek flipping rocks and we found one medium sized crayfish and two little salamanders!

On Monday, our friend Annie dropped off a container of Dansk Danish butter Cookies and this is what the tin looked like on Saturday afternoon :)

Perfect end to Saturday

It rained Sunday afternoon and Ayson cleaned the fort (of spiders and bugs) and then he and Addie sat in the fort, eating snacks and singing songs.  Too cute!
