Springtime Fun!!

It has been a while since I have posted!! We have been busy around here lately with lots of fun things. At the end of April, we took all of the kiddos (Rush, Frannie, and Kate) to Disney on Ice. It was a hit! It was lots of fun. Oddly enough, I think Rush was the most enthralled with the whole thing, and he is the least likely to pay attention and sit still. We purchased seven tickets for the parents and kids, but we only used four of them. The kids had to sit in a lap to be able to see, so Frannie and Kate crawled all over everyone's laps. Rush found a nice, quiet spot on Uncle Tony's lap and settled in. I didn't get many good pictures at all, but it is virtually impossible to get all three kids looking at the camera with all of the action that was going on at that place. There was way too much to look at to be worried about Mama's camera.

I love this one because Kate has her arm linked through Fran's arm. So sweet! Sydney Frances feels it is her purpose in life to take care of Kate. And yes, they have on matching dresses... on purpose. We decided they would love it now and hate us at their rehearsal dinners in about 25 years. :-) Could someone please provide a boy cousin for Rush? He doesn't seem to mind, though. I had a shirt that would have "blended" with the girls' dresses, but he opted to go with his favorite "gween one".

The crew

Tiny dancer also had her final performance of the year. She loved ballet this year, so we will probably stick with this same program next year. It is a good fit for us.

The kids enjoyed lunch outside in a little summer preview day. The weather was PERFECT!! Can't wait! Just this past weekend, we went to an event called Touch a Truck... also known as Rush's idea of heaven. In the downtown area of my cool hometown, they have tons of different trucks and cars that kids are allowed to sit in, climb on, and explore. Rush absolutely loved it. Syd was a little more hesitant. She saw the Chick-fil-a Cow after about two minutes of being there, and that really kind of put a damper on her day. If you remember the experience with the Easter Bunny, you know she doesn't enjoy animals in costume. Period. Meanwhile, Rush was snuggling with the cow and giving her high fives. So funny how different they are! Fran finally relaxed enough to get on a truck or two, but she always had one eye looking for the cow. :-)

P.S. Sydney Frances did get to fulfill a dream at Touch a Truck. She has ALWAYS wanted to see inside a school bus. They had one there. Putting a check sister's wish list at the same time we put a grin that lasted all morning on Rush's face--- well worth it!
