We had a good week. Things were busy, and a little wild but it's always like that in the spring; with sports, music, field trips, performances, etc... 

Here are some of the kids art projects etc.. from school.  Isaac and Emily both really enjoy art at school. I love Isaac's writing and seeing how his little mind works, when he writes. This was him writing about being a paleontologist when he grows up and his how he wants to make $10,000 a year!
So cute.

We had a huge snow storm on Wednesday. It felt like the middle of the winter because it snowed so much!
Lizzie and I stayed home most of the day and kept warm and dry. She is SO into her stuffed animals, dolls etc.. She has named all of them and plays house, school, Dr. and vacation with them. She has a wonderful imagination and gets mad if I don't get a bowl of milk out for her cat "Melissa" or leave a treat for her doggy "Toddles" She's smart, cute, busy and wonderful.

Lizzie wanted to invite all her girls friends from preschool to our house for a playdate. So we had them all to our house on Thursday after school. They ate lunch, played dress ups, house, looked at the animals and had a tea party. 

Friday night we finally went and saw "Cinderella" with all the girl Shields cousins. Lizzie and Emily were really excited to see it. The movie was so great and super cute! Lizzie was mesmerized by the mice (she now wants a pet mouse) She saw through the whole show without any complaints.
it was  fun night with cousins etc... 

Saturday we had a busy day of 3 soccer games, chores, yard work etc.. Then in the evening we made a fire and roasted hot dogs & smores with our friends and neighbors. It was such a beautiful, war, spring night -just perfect for being outside. 

Taylor & Emily moved the hammock outside on Sunday, and spent most of the day reading and hanging out. They love to be in the hammock and they are getting along really well right now, which is great! We love it when our kids like spending time together. 

More pictures of Lizzie with all of her animals. She lined them all up in the hallway for school and then they each ate a snack. She's so fu nay and so serious about her animal play. 

Sunday night was celelbrating the April Birthdays! Millie, Spencer and Grandpa Shields all have birthdays in April.
The weekends go too quickly, and Mondays come too soon.
