Kids' Update

This picture shows our latest idea/desperate attempt to stop Alli's thumb sucking habit.   She has quit once this last summer with help from Thum (nail polish-like stuff that makes her fingernail taste really yucky and hot) and once this winter (her thumb got really chapped and cracked and it hurt pretty bad to suck it).  But every time we think it is finally over, she finds it again.  I will keep you posted on whether the "glove" works.  

School is going really good for her (Kindergarten is almost over for her, YIKES!) and she brought home another perfect report card last month.  Soccer is almost over, just one make up game left that we were supposed to make up this last Wednesday, but rain has cancelled all our activities this week.  She really enjoys t-ball and is looking forward to her dance recital May 23.  She wants me to tell you that her favorite color is purple and her favorite 

activity is playing and having sleepovers with Madie.  

Cole has grown up alot in the last few weeks.  He loves school and was so proud of the flowers he made yesterday to bring home to us.  His t-ball team beat the #1 team in his league last week, which put the Tigers (Coles' team) on top (the boys don't know about the standings, but the Dads sure do :).   Most days, you can find him outside running around with the neighbor boys (good for him to have playmates, but boys will be boys).  His favorite color is yellow and favorite character is Spiderman.

Nolan is feeling much better and has put on some weight.  He loves to be outside and would like to hang with the big boys, if his Mama would let him.  He is talking more and more everyday and pretty much stirs up trouble wherever he can.   His favorite thing:  suckers.

Now that soccer is over on the weekends, we are starting to plan our first camping trip.  The kids talk about it all the time.  If the weather allows this weekend (we are supposed to get another 2-3 inches of rain), we are planning to bring the camper home to get "her" ready for the camping season.  Hopefully you will see our 1st camping trip post real soon.
