April...

So far this month we have been super busy. The kids and I took a trip to Seattle, where we went to the Seattle Aquarium with "Nanie, Auntie and Ing." Since my mom bought a membership, we can now go anytime we like! Reece loved seeing the Nemo fish, but was not so keen on the shark that was hanging from the ceiling, or any exhibit that simulated being under water. Sorry Auntie, but your dreams of her being a swimmer are not going to happen. Max loved everything and was on his best behavior, as always.

This month has also brought new challenges with keeping Reece busy. She has learned how to open doors, turn of the sinks, flush the toilets, turn on the tub, and also turn on the dishwasher and washer/dryer. We turned the locks on all the bathrooms around so that we can lock them from the outside to keep her from getting into the bathroom without supervision. Which worked great for about an hour...then she learned how to lock/unlock them. And although I will one day kick myself for not encouraging her to help with the dishes and laundry right now, it's more of a pain that she keeps turning them on that a help. On the bright side we bought the kids a swing set, and as soon as Ryan can take a few days off work, we will set it up. That's it for now, I need to get some cleaning done before the kids wake up!
