april. a lengthy catch up post.

busy month.

last sunday was palm sunday.  our pastor delivered the best palm sunday sermon i've ever heard.  and sk sang with the angel notes choir and we enjoyed watching her - she loves choir.  

waiting to sing!  (for a long time!)

 we took a few pics after the service and before brunch. 

kissy sissy!

they are really sweet together!  luckily these sweet sister moments occur much more frequently than the fighting sister moments and it's much easier to catch these moments on camera because i'm refereeing the other moments.  

tickled

my girls…we have so much fun with these 2 girls!!

 we've been to a few egg hunts lately.  i took hayes to a public one here in mount pleasant one day while sk was at school.  sk had her class party/ egg hunt last thursday while hayes was at school.  and then we had a birthday party/egg hunt last saturday that both girls participated in.  glad we've had a few because our church's egg hunt tomorrow was cancelled because of the rain.  we may float right off into the atlantic tonight.  seriously!

hayes finding eggs at alhambra hall

hayes had never been to an egg hunt before but not to worry…"i do it mama."  and she did.

little chat with laura catherine.  hayes is thinking, "how did you get more than me?! give me some."

her first egg find.  

sarah kate had a blast at her class easter party and hunt!  it was at her friend, alden's house and she played her little heart out.  and found "a dozen" eggs.

sweet group of 4 year olds.  sarah kate has always been in the "younger" class since she has a late bday so these kids are  the "younger 4's" and are just now starting to turn 5 this month.  the bday invitations have been rolling in and after every one sk asks, "so, is ____going to be in my class tomorrow now that their 5?  cause i'm in 4A which is for 4 year olds not 5 year olds! will they move to the 5 year old class?"  ha!  she'll be like me and will always be the same age the whole school year….no school celebrations for us summer babies!

fun on the swing set.  flying high!

fun in the bounce house

look at that face!  don't think i have to say that she did NOT bust the piñata but she surely gave it a good whack!

annual easter party pic with alden.  if i had the time or energy i would post the past pics but i have neither.  this is their 4th year being in the same class and i have pics of them from all 4 years.  they are off to different kindergartens next year but i'm sure we'll still dye eggs with the murrell girls next easter.

telling mimi bye!  my mom came up for sk's little easter performance last wednesday and she also went to her easter party with us last thursday.  it was fun having her stay 2 nights!!  she usually only stays for one.  trey and i squeezed in a fun date night while she was here of course;)

sk's school easter performance.  the kindergarteners acted out the play and then the 4 and 5 year olds sang (a bunch of songs!!)  she's in a yellow shirt 2nd row up.  

the last egg hunt we went to was a birthday party for a little girl whose family is one that we love spending time with.  laura catherine turned 2.

look who thinks she's as big as the big girls!

so proud of her!  i mean, she didn't win the race or anything but she happily hopped all the way "there and back."  i bet even just a year ago she wouldn't have wanted to do this.  she would have deemed it too hard or scary because she would have been worried about falling.  progress in the physical department!

my little hayes loves a party!!  shocking i know.

birthday girl.  worked on that cupcake for a solid hour i bet.

sugar high.  egg hunt high.  easter high.  april high.  whew this girl has had a good time!
