12 of 12 April :: Spring has Sprung!

1. Oh, Mildred! I had to Facebook our breakfast conversation. 
2. The most beautiful spring day for SpringFest. We love this awesome activity Purdue hosts. It's so fun and almost everything is free!
3. Hammock, trampoline, and face paint. She's set.
4. "Leave your brother alone!" 
5. Went on a walk and had to haul these planters home from Rural King on the stroller (Beast of Burden, indeed). Re-planted the blueberry bushes.
6. This kid systematically takes down towers, block-by-block. He isn't so much into crashing them over, though rest assured he will not let a tower stand.
7. Girl in need of a manicure.
8. Months ago we drove past Meijer and Millie started singing, "Meijer, we're dancing through the fire!" We thought her song was random, and she has sung it ever since. When this came on she exclaimed, "It's the 'Meijer, dancing through the fire' song!" A-ha! She's as good with lyrics as her Aunt Karisa! (The lyrics really say "I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, I'm dancing through the fire.")
9. We've been loving the Little House on the Prairie picture books, despite the looks of Miss Sassafras. I love to hear her say "Ma, and Pa and their good old bulldog, Jack."
10. A rousing game of Go Fish before bed. 
11. My favorite part of Saturday— going to bed with a clean kitchen floor. I know it will stay that way until morning. Truman is in the stage where he throws everything off his tray, and it seems like wasted effort to stay completely on top of it. This too, shall pass. 
12. The worst part of gel manicures is the soaking with acetone to take it off. Double-duty, scripture reading and getting the polish off my nails.
