Whatever the Weather!

Charlotte's Kindergarten play was next after The second grade play. She was extra excited about it after watching her big brother in his play!

Charlotte not only had a line in the play, she also got to be a snow flake!!

She was hoping and wishing that she would get to be a snowflake. She even had me help her write a letter to her teacher asking if she could. She was so excited when she found out that she was chosen.

I tried to get there early so that we could get better pictures than we did at Aaron's play, but apparently people are more excited about kindergarten plays than 2nd grade plays because even at 1/2 an hour early, all the seats in front were gone. We could see pretty well from where we were, but picture taking with our one and only lens wasn't great.



Charlotte is in the top left corner.

Ali's Wedding Shower!

My mom and I , with lots of help from Christian's mom and sister, threw Ali a bridal shower luncheon at the lovely home of Colleen Anderson (longtime friend of the Robbins family).

I managed to snap a few pictures that turned out alright, so I'll share them here and Ali can copy them if she wants!

It was a fun day, we had a really good lunch , and Ali got fun presents!!!

Twin Day

Charlotte and her little friend Natalie just had to dress the same for "Twin Day" at school. They were planning it all week. We met up at Target with Natalie's family and the girls picked out matching shirts to wear. They already had the same shoes.

Girls are so different from boys.

Aaron and one of his friends decided to dress the same also, the day before. They decided on jeans and a white t-shirt because they both already had that in their closets.

(I didn't get a picture of them together because Aaron wanted to ride the bus that day)

Nap Time

Aaron and Charlotte at school,

Elsie and Lila watching Max and Ruby right before Lila's nap.

One of the very few quiet times in our house each day,

and I love it!

Oranges!

Fund Run

Aaron and Charlotte had a fund run at school and the second graders and kindergarteners ended up running together so we went to cheer them along!

They were both super runners! They ran almost the whole time. (I think it was 20 minutes) Charlotte paused for about half a lap to let Lila walk with her, but then she was off again!

Fire Station Field Trip

Elsie's Preschool took a field trip to the fire station. Luckily I brought Charlotte and Lila, who enjoyed it, or else it would have been a huge waste of time! Elsie will not appear in any of these pictures because she would not unwrap herself from my leg the entire time!

Picnic

We finally started having nice enough weather to have a picnic outside. The girls were so excited. I let them help decide what we should eat.







So, it wasn't exactly the healthiest of all lunches... but we enjoyed it!



We also enjoyed warming our tummies and toes in the sun!

To The Zoo

I am going to attempt to get caught up this week. Lots of exciting things are happening ( including Ali and Christian's wedding and a new job for Nick!) and I really want to be caught up so that I can blog about them! I'm going to post the dates that everything actually happened so I'm not sure if they will show up as a new post or not, so check any way.



We were invited to go to the zoo with Charlotte's friend Natalie from school and her family. We hadn't been in a while so we were excited!
