Puddle jumping

It has been semi-hectic here lately, and I am trying to steal an available moment while I can, to update!

Kayla:
~has started karate! Needless to say, Mommy is thrilled. She is taking Okinawan Seidokan Karate Kobudo  (say that 10x fast!) twice a week. She has much to learn, but she is a smart cookie, I have no doubt she will catch up, quickly.
~jumped for the American Heart Association at school. Mommy and Thomas went to watch. Shockingly, no kids were whipped by fellow jumpers. Now THAT, would have been interesting...
~might be pushing 6 years old, but still has a love for puddle jumping!
~very much enjoyed St. Patrick's Day. This is the first year she was truly paranoid about the "pinch". She made sure to attend school with a giant green bow and earrings.
~told Mommy that Rex was handsome. Who is this Rex? A book character, thank goodness. Both parents are ok with this, and acknowledge the fact it could be worse...
~has started a countdown, anxiously awaiting her Grandma's spring break visit.
~has been begging for a trampoline. Her parents caved. Happy early birthday, sweet girl!
~has acknowledged the fact her hair color is straight up awesome.
~still has a loose tooth, the thing refuses to give itself up. String and doorknob might be in the near future.

Thomas:
~is so cute his Mommy has to literally stop herself from a squealing at him, on occasion.
~keeps getting on all 4's and rocking, but refuses to move. He is stubborn. Like his father.
~adores watching his sister. He truly lights up in her presence, whenever he hears her voice. She enjoys it now, but I figure soon enough he will terrorize her and it will all go south.
~had discovered his (ahem) junk. This makes for some Mommy shrieking diaper changes, especially after a particularly bad blow out. Why, why, whyyyy do boys do this?!?!
~has turned into a legit pint-sized terrorist in his walker. Nothing is safe. Nothing. He now leaves a trail of destruction behind him, when he is particularly feisty.

Enjoy the pix!!!

Ugh.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugggggh.
I have been slowly watching the pictures in the blog album grow and grow. And then it suddenly became too much... so I ignored it. But about 2.5 seconds ago, I became determined. I WILL do this. I WILL update the blog.
So... random updates and then pictures. And then I can clear the images from my phone. Woohoo!

Kayla:
-Read a book from start to end, with NO help from the parentals. It. Was. Awesome.
-New report card came, she's receiving all the highest scores possible!
-Mom sent her to school out of dresscode. It led to some drama. All have recovered at this point.
-Learned why old people advise "DONT TOUCH THAT PAN". It was hot. So was her finger. Bring on the water works.
-Had a 4 day weekend. Somehow, by the grace
 of the good Lord, her mother survived.
-Celebrated her 1st Dr. Seuss week. She had character day, Grinch green day, crazy socks day, and silly hat day.
Thomas:
-Is obsessed with blowing raspberries. You will say HI to him, and that is how he responds.
-Now sleeping through the night!! From about 7pm-6am. Woooohoooo!
-Sitting like a champ.
-Went out for his 1st family dinner. It was nice to all get out, again!
-Tried Bleu cheese. Reaction? Priceless.
-Grows more kissable by the minute. Dude owns his Mama's heart.
Daisy:
-Had her 1st vet appointment. We are now poor.
-Was diagnosed with legit panic attacks. Yay.
-Is terrified of balloons. Like, seriously scared. So Kayla tied balloons to her!
