Spring Has Sprung

 Claire

While we had a scare with rain turning into snow on Thursday and it being colder, this week's weather has finally felt like spring. Claire got some grass seed from her teacher one day and they all spread it out in the spot where they all enter and exit the school so they can see it growing soon. Her flower is thriving as well and growing, but there haven't been more than leaves on the stem so far. When we visited Lagoon, we saw some little flower beds have flowers already and they found some that had fallen off so we put them in our hair. She also found some rolly bugs while we were in line for the Ferris Wheel and were playing in the dirt...yay. Kids are so fun that way, making 'sand' castles in our front yard because there are nongrassy spots. They also like to make houses and play 'neighbors' with the slides they have with their neighbor! I've noticed more dirt in my house...but they are pretty good at closing the doors at least and we've enjoyed opening windows for the breeze.

Shay

I'm trying to remember if Claire would still take naps at 4 and I think there were still a few times she was tired enough, but Shay sleeps in weird positions sometimes. Then on days that I think she will no doubt fall asleep, like after Lagoon, she stays up and is cranky at the world. She had been asking all week to go on the Ferris ride because we didn't get to the Ferris Wheel last week, and we did it as our first ride this week. Chris is trying to warm them up to the idea of going on the Terror ride so he called it a Halloween ride and they were excited at first. When we walked by and saw the outside, Shay said she doesn't want to go because she might get scared, and I seconded it because I don't want my kids to be scared! They already still complain about being scared at bedtime and we found Shay cuddled up next to Claire again last night with Claire's arm around her...so cute!
