first half of April

I'm playing catch up! This is for the first half of April.

For General Conference, we went to Todd's grandparents' house on Sat., and Ryan and Shannon's house on Sun. since we don't have cable. We made the kids an activity pack and a snack bag:

In April, Thanksgiving Point did a tulip princess pageant. I'm not about pageants, but I am about the tea party in the garden for those who went! (We ended up not being able to go to the tea party the day they had it, though:()

For the pageant, they had a beauty school do all the girls' hair and make up:

...and gave all of them a crown:

They did her hair really cute:

 
Abbie didn't get hair or makeup done:)

They had the parents write up a little thing about each girl to read out loud while the princesses walked each girl to the front of the stage. While the girls were in line, Katherine had a peepee accident right on the stage. We got a picture of her standing daintily with her little pink purse next to her big puddle, but I think Katherine deleted it because the picture mysteriously vanished.

Her is Abbie on the front stage:

Here is Katherine. She did a courtsey (they told everyone to, but she was one of the only ones who did it:)):

Katherine and Abbie and the other princesses:

Afterwards, they gave them all a prize bag. Then we went to the garden restaurant:

Then the kids ran down the hill and we played at the gardens. Look at Katherine in the next 2 pictures:

Since the girls were in their pretty dresses, I took some pictures of them:

 twirling:

running around:

 My people:

 "Hmm, what is that you're holding, Mommy?"

 "EEEEEE!" (translates to: I want that!)

"ok, plan B"

My cute boy is growing so fast!:

 

Other pictures:

Katherine said she made herself a lunch. She sat there with her bag, her carrots and spinach leaves, and ate it on her plate (a tupperware lid):
