"Insta"-replay #107, April sunshine

April was surprisingly sunny in my neck of the woods.  Instead of the regular spring rains we had gorgeous sunshine, but enough sprinkles to keep everything green.

We of course had school to get done.  Merry manages to keep it fun by using rainbow colors to write her spelling words.

She also much more willing to work on flash cards when she can put stickers on her mastered facts.

We couldn't spend all our time indoors.  We met up with cousins after school.  Moms got coffee and kids got crafting.

We even managed to get to one of Michael's Saturday kids events.  Kite making was a blast.

We had an outing to the DMV, where girls saw how boring being a grownup is.

And tagged along with Toby to watch him compete.

It was fun to see him on stage dancing. 

The girls also had a chance to shine on stage.  As part of the new kids clogging class they learned a dance to preform at AG Fest.

We finished up the month with a cousin-palooza! The Idaho cousins came for a quick visit and we had a blast.  I was very happy the weather was great and the eight super excited kids could play outside.

They came inside eventually and managed to be tired enough to get some sleep despite being so giddy about a sleepover.

Now I need to catch up on my sleep!
