March

March was about the time I started deep cleaning the house and getting rid of things we have collected the last four years but don't need anymore before we move.

When we first moved into our house we lost a green dice from one of our games and it bothered me so much. Well four years later I finally found it hiding under the bookcase. 

Hiding in the cave of wonders in the mornings (under mommy and daddy's sheets in bed) is one of my favorite memories in this house.

We started a weekend waffles tradition. We make waffles and eat them with strawberries, bananas, syrup, and cream on them. They are delicious. 

Stephen made the boys bunk beds and they love them so much. Nathan calls them bunky beds.

We had a neighborhood Easter egg hunt at the park. We are really going to miss the friends we've made in this neighborhood.

Stephen and I are both fully vaccinated from covid.

We had some fun family days together during spring break. One day we went to the painted peacock. Nathan and dad painted a dinosaur together. Everett and I painted a treasure chest together. 

It has been really nice that the weather is warming back up.

Everett: Winter

January

I loved finding you laying down with Emily under her play mat just talking to her.

You made up a new game called dinosaur play. The dinosaurs have to put away all of the toys before the mother comes out.

With donut powder all over your shirt, "I must be the king of the dirties."

You've been begging to be left alone when I go do grocery pick up. The first time I left you I came home to you dancing in the front room to ninja music. 

One day in the car you asked me about the lyrics we were listening to. Sometimes I forget that you are always listening to what is being said around you.

You come running downstairs, "Momma, today I'm doing my dream before bedtime. I am super Everett. In my dreams the dinosaurs call me super Everett."

February

You got three awards at school. I am so proud of all your hard work this year.

Yay for getting your first lose tooth. You were so excited to pull it out. You wanted the tooth fairy to bring you $50.

So adorable at your 100th day of school. You got to dress up as an old man.

March

You lost your second tooth.

"I had the best day at school today. We had PE, recess, and played the rhyming game."

I love it when you say something with a southern accent.

Your two new teeth are starting to come in and you look so cute.

Dad made a bunk bed for you and Nathan. You love it so much. I love seeing the joy it brings you. You kept saying "This is the best day!"

Dad has started reading chapter books to you at night before bed. The first one was treasure island. You are loving reading them on your top bunk.
