Eve decided she wanted to be a super hero and came up with this outfit.

Super hero Eve!

The mask even joined us for dinner.

Our secret dinner guest. Who could it be?!

Eve and I celebrated Kitty’s first birthday this morning. Twenty minutes later we celebrated Kitty’s second birthday. Eve set up the party, turned out the lights, carried the play cake in and we sang to kitty. Then she served the cake and we all pretend ate it. Yummy wooden cake with a sweet girl and a stuffed cat. Good times were had by all. :)

Look at that look she is giving Kitty. She's so sweet.

Kitty needed a little help blowing out the candles :)

“When I get older I’m going to do gross things and you should say ‘oh girls!'” says Eve. She cracks me up. She said this because last week we were visiting a friend and when her son started eating play-doh she told Eve, “Sometimes boys do gross things and all we can do is say ‘oh boys!'”

I just added this to the Quotes page and noticed that my last four quotes are from Eve. Guess I need to start paying closer attention to Lex!

Eve and I took a trip to a local farm today. They were having a Spring festival, or something like that. Lex has been asking to go there for awhile now and they were super excited when I mentioned it this morning, but when the time came to get going Lex decided that “my body just wants to stay home today.” So he stayed home with Alan (who had offered to come with us, but Lex insisted on being home) while Eve and I went. It was fun to be able to follow her around and just go where she wanted to go. We don’t get to do that very often. They had free ice cream and a fire dept was selling lunch items so we had ice cream and french fries for lunch and enjoyed the beautiful day. Eve said hello to all of the animals, giggled when the calf licked her hand, showed due concern for the sheep being dragged to its shearing, and overall had a great morning. I love her!

Saying hi to a cow

A concerned Eve. "Why didn't the cow say hi to me?"

Before entering and exiting certain parts of the farm they ask you to clean your shoes. This might have been her favorite part of the day!

Running Eve. Silly girl.

A guy on the wagon ride offered to take a picture of us. It's kind of blurry, but cute :)

Free ice cream! Yum!

The weather forecast said thunderstorms all afternoon, but it’s 2pm now and still bright and sunny. We’ll see what the afternoon has in store!

I should do a collage sometime of all the funny positions we find the kids sleeping in, but for now, here is a picture of Eve, sound asleep last night. :)

This is probably a funny thing to post about, but I’m gonna anyway. The night before last Eve was in an odd mood. She went to bed ok, but when I changed her diaper before I went to bed she woke up and was talking and being very silly. At one point she held up her doggie and said “This is a funny doggie. He says weef!” Normally she sleeps right through the diaper changes. She was up several times during the night. I kept putting her back to bed. At one point Alan got up and found her sitting on the toilet. She said she had to poop, but apparently she just peed. He brought her back to bed with us (which is always where she wants to be!). It’s fun to snuggle with her, but he falls asleep quickly and I do not, so we cuddled for awhile, she got up to get her doggie and came back, and was very fidgety. Sweet, but fidgety. After awhile (I loose track of time in the middle of the night!) I asked if she wanted to be very still and quiet or go back to her own bed. She chose back to bed. Normally I’d take her back, but this time I just rolled her out of bed and sent her on her way. A few minutes later I heard her in the bathroom again. I got up, very annoyed, and went in to find her throwing up in the toilet!! Poor girl! I was all ready to grumpily put her back to bed, but there she was. When I walked in she smiled at me and said, “I did a good job. I got all of my throw-up in the toilet, not on the floor.” She’s such a big girl! I think she must have eaten something bad because she wasn’t really sick. She commented on the color of her throw-up and tried to guess what it was, a fun game to play in the middle of the night. Then she smiled and went to bed. I guess that explains the awakeness and fidgeting. Then I felt guilty for being on the verge of yelling at her. She’s so sweet. Then she slept until about 8:30 in the morning!
