Hmmm... I don't know.... maybe because it says "Kelton" across your face. When I asked him if he did it looking in the mirror, he was amazed that I could know such information. The fact that his name was written from right to left and in mirror image was a bit of a tip off. I'm still trying to figure out what compels a child old enough to actually write their name to do so across their face in pen...
A proper princess always plays in the mud. There was one spot of mud in the back yard. One. And I turned my back for one minute. One. Leave it to Arie, who by the way is very aware that she's not supposed to play in the mud. She's also aware that she's the baby of the family and is very cute.
I played Yahtzee with Natalie for the first time. The idea of getting a Yahtzee and all those points is always so exciting. But after I explained the rules, I made sure to let her know that actually getting a Yahtzee is rare and it doesn't happen every time you play. So, what happens on her first turn? She gets a Yahtzee! But then.... that was to be followed by my first turn, where I ALSO got a Yahtzee! Yeah right mom, super rare.
Yay for Easter clearance and boys needing new church clothes. By the way, Damon actually really likes the color purple.
This little girl. This month she decided that changing her clothes about ten times per day would be a fabulous idea. It was enough to almost drive me crazy. It wasn't so bad until she found the stash of all of her outgrown clothes and started to put those in the mix. So we ended up with a giant pile of laundry that ranged from about 12 months on up. It was so fun to sort all of that out-- again-- and put it away. I then moved all of her clothes into my dresser where she couldn't reach them. I felt a little bad stifling her creative expression, but not really. Of all of my kids, she is definitely the most talented at dressing herself.
Despite the outward facade, changing clothes so often is exhausting for her too. Yes, she is asleep.
Damon has been learning how to read and doing a great job. We've loved having these books that Aunt Erica sent us. All of the oldest three have used them to learn to read, once they've learned sounds and how to put vowel-consonant-vowel words together.
Natalie loves to read. And for some reason, Natalie loves to read on the couch (in this same position) while eating lots and lots of baby carrots. So it was quite hilarious to find Natalie's little mini-me doing the same thing.
Kelton's grade put on a musical performance called "Hats." We couldn't really understand what the kids were singing, but it was a cute show. Kelton even got to have a speaking part! He's in yellow on the far right of this picture wearing his minion beanie.

Fun to read through all your posts! Guess there really is no slow time at Disneyland, just slower. Sounds like you had a fun trip, though! Kelton's mirror writing made me laugh--funny how moms can figure things like that out. :)
Arie sounds a lot like Olivia. She's recently decided to add Ellawyn's clothes to her repertoire.
Your kids are all adorable. Arie is so so adorable! You are brave to tackle Disney Land...multiple times. I don't have the guts. But it looks like you guys had tons of fun!
