Fun in Kirksville

Here we are on a recent trip to Kirksville for Ella's dance recital...

Double Trouble!!!

I knew this day would come...the day the boys started teaming up to create mischief and mayhem. They are definitely earning the "Double Trouble" moniker.  Here they are after I left them alone for just a few minutes to use the bathroom...

Kai had his pajamed legs in the sink where the sippy cups were soaking.  He also had the water turned on.  Sage was eating a giant, frosted pink donut! 

Field Trip!

In May, I had the opportunity to join Sage and his class on a field trip to Grant's Farm.  We had a great time!  

Potty Dance Time!

I know it's too much information for those of you without kids, but it's a momentous day in the Kelly household. Kai took his first poo poo on the potty! Potty dance! So happy to be almost finished with diapers! I say "almost" because Kai followed up his potty success with two potty accidents later in the day. Even though it's a work in progress, there's definitely reason to celebrate!!

Virtual Art Gallery

Since the boys have been in preschool, they have been busy creating artistic masterpieces that they love to share!  I've decided to start a virtual art gallery of their work on the blog...running down the side.  Check it out!

Boy Bonding

We recently attended Noah's opening day for t-ball. We enjoyed watching Noah play ball and the celebration at the ball park (free food, games, bounce houses, and access to police/fire/ambulance vehicles. Then we went back to Noah's house for some boy bonding time. Noah, Sage, and Kai had a great time! Noah fed us lunch, showed us his gardens, let us play with his toys, and shared his swing set. The boys had a great time!

Hoppy Easter!

Multiple egg hunts, LOTS of candy, fun with friends and family, and remembering the reason for the festivities - all adds up to one great Easter weekend!

Everyday Matters

My little loves have really mastered the art of sharing. They even do it unprompted. Today, for example, when I picked the boys up from school, Sage had two suckers. As soon as Sage saw Kai, he said, "Here, this is for you," and hands him one of the suckers. So sweet!
