Sweet Days

I love days at home. Nothing on the agenda. Just time well spent with my babes. We miss Ev, but know he is having a great time learning and playing at kindergarten. Just the other day, Everett's water bottle was still left out from breakfast and Hampton looked at it and sighed "I miss Everett." So sweet. 

The other day I told Hampton we were going to go on a walk. He threw on his Crocs and said "I'm ready!" I told him he can't go outside without pants and he said, "Oh but I don't really care." Ha.
 Caught Hampton in a nose pick. 
 And Thatcher is a happy baby 99.9% of the day. Most content baby ever!
 A classic Hampton grin. 
 And Ellie loves to twirl. 
 She's always been pretty girly. But now she has become very girly! She loves princesses (Ariel is her favorite), loves to wear dresses and bows, and has recently been toting around her purse everywhere. 
 While this boy walks everywhere. 
 So Monday morning we had a donut driveway party. And it was great. I ate way too many munchkins.

 And finally, Hampton's creation. I think his inspiration was the Magic Kingdom. 

Sunday

Sunday was a beautiful Spring day. We dressed the children in their Sunday best and had a good morning at church. The children have been so good about going to Sunday School. Even baby Thatcher doesn't cry! He has really attached himself to one of the volunteers in his class (a super sweet high school student) and I truly think he remembers her. And Hampton has moved over to the "big kid" section of the church as well. 
After church we decided to eat lunch out on the deck. This was our first time eating outside since the beginning of the season. It was wonderful.

 Her sassy face.


 Sweet little teethers.

 Notice the food swiper?


And he comes running when he sees pizza. He LOVES it! 
 After rest time we went out into the driveway and helped Everett wash his sea shells. 
It was a perfect Sunday! Looking forward to many more this Spring/Summer.
