The kids love to play hide and seek with me in stores, and one of their favorites is Joanns

Your Good

I started teaching Parker piano, and he drew this picture of himself learning

Our piano is in our office, which explains the computer you can see behind him

Parkers 5th Year

So this is pretty late, but I need to put some stuff down about Parker as he turned 5 years old.

First off, we had his Dr appointment and here are his stats:

Weight: 40 lbs... 40%

Height: 44 inches.... 67%

Keeping with the pattern of tall and skinny.

During his fifth year Parkers love of learning grew like crazy. He learned to read and never looked back, by his fifth birthday he had read over a dozen chapter books on his own. (stuff like magic tree house, etc.)

Parker also loves math, he has no idea that math isn't "fun" he enjoys having me write out word problems for him. 

Parker is just as sweet as ever. A little shy maybe but he truly loves others and wants to be kind to them, even if he is often to nervous to speak to them.

His obsession with trains made way for an obsession with space. ALL things space; planets, stars, galaxies etc. Oddly enough he says he has NO interest in being an astronaut when he grows up. He claims he wants to be a "study-er" and sometimes says that what he wants to study is space.

Parker loves jokes. Knock-knock jokes are probably the favorite. It's funny to me how he can laugh at the same joke over and over and over again.

I can't think of more now, but at least we've got something down. I LOVE this little boy!

April Fools

We continued out tradition of silly and non-harmful pranks on April Fools this year. Parker wanted to repeat some from last year, including putting cold coins in daddies shoe, and serving a breakfast for daddy using play food.

One new 'trick' from this year was so silly, but here it is:

Parker and I painted mustaches on ourselves.

And a quick video

Easter Eggs

Before Easter we dyed some eggs

The kids at work:

At the time Aria was going through a thing where she didn't just like pink- she was a bit obsessed. SO our eggs seemed to have a bit of a theme: 

No Pants? No Problem

Aria was 'helping' do dishes. And you may be able to see by the wet hair that this is quite an intense process.

So intense, that she didn't seem to notice/care that her skirt fell down.

Aria is tall and skinny, so we have to choose between bottoms that are too short or bottoms that are too big around and fall down a lot. 

At this point we were going for 'fall down a lot'

Beautiful

Somebody found the lipstick

Hair!

I'm not much of an artist, so don't judge my poorly executed drawings- they were good enough for my three year old.

Anyway, Aria went through this faze where she would have me draw a girl in a dress and I was supposed to leave the hair off so she could do it. 

And when she colored the hair she didn't mess around.

ALL of the purple stuff is hair

SO much hair!

This girl is just hilarious!

Because of course you should climb all the way into the cabinet
