Random Stuff for the 3rd week of April.

Well the 2 days went by and dad took the kids back to the doctor to have their TB test read. We are happy to confirm (never a question) that they are TB free. Gavin even wanted to have his read. So girl at the office looked at his arm and confirmed to him that he is good. Won't he be surprised next year when he really has to get it done.

On Friday mom took the rest of the paper work down to the district office and confirmed that the twins are all enrolled in school. Not sure which school since we are trying to get them transferred to a different school for daycare purposes.

On Sunday morning Mark woke up at around 7am and did not hear the kids who are normally up by that time or earlier. So he walked out to the hall and looked in the boys room. No sign of them. Still not hearing anything he walks to Allyson's room to see all three sitting on her bed with the blankets over their legs playing Candy Land. Of course he did not get a picture of this. He admits that he does not think of these things. Anyways he left them alone and went back to bed for another 30 minutes. They stayed really quiet!!

All three have really been helping mom out around the house. They help taking sheets off the beds and try to help putting them back on, but mom ends up doing it herself. They love to fold towels. Well Allyson and Tristan are really good at that, Gavin just rolls them in a ball and hands them back to me. They love to wash windows. They are trying really hard to remember without being told to put their shoes and clothes away. That is hit and miss.

I noticed that I did not have a post for a few days, so I thought I would just put a few random things out there. Enjoy.

Health Evaluations

All the kids had a check up last Tuesday. Gavin was the easiest. He only had to get 1 shot, and the Doctor officially said that he is a tad on the short side. Somewhere in the 18% for height but close to 50% in weight. Allyson and Tristan had to get their blood, urine and TB test today for their health evaluations to complete the enrollment process for school. Tristan also had 1 other shot to get. Allyson is in the 14% for weight and close to 50% in height. She was fine until the first prick of her finger and then she lost it. Mom was able to hold her so no one could really hear her. She needs to drink more water since she is a little on the dehydrated side. Tristan on the other hand lost it before the nurse even touched him. Once she gave him his shot he stopped looked at us and said "Oh that did not hurt". Dad said that they could all hear him in the waiting room. He is close to 50% in height and 10% in weight. He now has to take a multi vitamin with iron. Dad will take them back in 2 days to have the test on their arms read.

Easter, Finally!

Easter was finally here. Nothing out of the ordinary. Here are some pictures.

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Getting ready for the Easter Bunny

The day before Easter March 11Th, we colored Easter eggs and got ready for the Easter bunny. Although we have always gotten baskets and went on an Easter egg hunt, this was the first year that we really got into it.

Allyson coloring her eggs. Using only pink and purple.

Gavin liked green and blue.

Tristan liked yellow and green.

The end result.

That night before going to bed mom and dad decided to really play it up this year. We left the Easter bunny a note and an apple, celery and water. They all were so very excited and we had no problems going to bed that night. Christmas in April, it was great.

The note asking the Easter bunny to leave us some good stuff.

Leaving the Easter Bunny some food just in case he gets hungry.

The Easter Bunny loved his food. Dad used the back end of the hammer to leave the teeth marks for added effect.

Easter Bunny Pictures

Our Easter update is going to be in Phases. 1st the week before our neighbor told us the Albertsons was taking free Easter Bunny pictures and that her daughter was taking them. Since we have never taken Easter pictures with the Easter Bunny I thought that since they were free why not try. So we go down and all the kids walk right up to him. They get down and as we walk out of the store Allyson and Tristan ask, "Mom why is there a man in that Easter Bunny costume?". I simply said that the Easter Bunny was really busy and he was his helper. That was all it took.

More of what Kids say and Do!

You all read what Tristan said at the dentist office so this is just for Allyson and Gavin.

On the way to dance one day it was cloudy and the sun was just trying to sneak a pick through the clouds. Allyson looked up and said to Dad "Daddy look at the clouds, Jesus is coming?" When ever she puts on a dress or something she really likes, she always has to ask Tristan "Do I look pretty?". He just ignores her and walks away.

Gavin at church saw a another little girl that he shies away from. Her name is Kamryn, yap just like Mom. Later that day he said that she was his girlfriend and that she was his princess. I don't think she has any idea. He also has started to talk with his hands to make a point. He will slap himself and say "Why you hitting yourself?".

First Crushes!

Well it has happened all 3 of the kids have officially had their first crushes. Allyson has had a long standing crush on Justin Fisher her cousin in the Army. She does not know the difference. She wants to see him every time he comes home and will not leave his side. She prays for him everyday. Gavin, our ladies man has a crush on Madison from daycare and Emily Hairgrove at church. When he sees Emily, an older girl at 15, he gets really shy and hides his face. Lastly there is Tristan who likes pretty girls and has his own saying when he sees them has a crush on Janessa Cannell. Not his cousin, but a cousin to some of his cousins. She was visiting the daycare this last week. He wanted to be where ever she was. I can not believe it starts so young. Oh well it is really funny to watch them!!
