monday 4/8 - it was back to school today for malloy! after school, we went to the park to play - it was so nice out!!!

tuesday 4/9 - happy birthday, grandma tappy! :) 

 the kids had dentist appointments this morning. they were SO excited to go! i've really never seen two kids so excited to go to the dentist!!! (wish i had some of their enthusiasm about it!!!) they did great - all clean, no cavities. when we got home, our friends safina and emery came over to play for a bit - fun!!! 

 wednesday 4/10 - we celebrated malloy's birthday in her class today. she requested cotton candy flavored frosting. they were a hit! she loved wearing her crown she decorated and being the birthday girl for one more day. at one point, the teacher had a letter M and she said "M for monkey and moon." malloy pipes in "um, you're forgetting something else that starts with M! the birthday girl!"

 in the afternoon, we watched safina and emery. they came in their pjs in case they stayed late and they just happened to be pjs that malloy had, too! of course, she immediately put them on with a pink headband that matched safina's! the girls had a great time playing! rex was feeling a little left out so he and i did stickers together for quite a while. then it was dinner time! we had pancakes and sausage. and then cupcakes. and then popcorn and mary poppins!

emery found cupcake on rex's chair. she was very happy! 

i was trying to take a picture of malloy and safina - emery runs in between them yelling "cheese!!" 

eating popcorn in between dancing to the songs.  emery kept putting things inside malloy's crown  and thought it was hilarious!

 4/11 thursday - it was a rainy, lazy morning! the kids played so nicely together with these little people houses (they've been in the basement for quite some time - i got them out because i thought emery would like them - malloy and rex loved them more!). this gave me some time to drink some coffee and wake up a bit. then we continued to lounge in our pjs and watch a movie. we finally got out and went to the gym at least!
when we got to the gym, next door duff's was gearing up for the lunch crowd. malloy sniffed the air and said "it smells like chicken wings. can we get chicken wings for lunch?!"  it was really hard to say no! daddy ended up bringing chicken wings and pizza home for dinner!

he looked so big here

 playing some dress up! rex put the patch on and then said "ARRRRR maybes" 

lounging

malloy had left her doll in the van. when she saw her she said "awwww she's just so cute! i wish i had my camera so i could take her picture!!" so i let her use my camera. 

she took this one of rex, too 

some more dress up! 

friday 4/12 - the kids went to school and then we hung out at home for the rest of the day. daddy was home sick with a bit of a stomach bug today and the kids were so concerned. the first thing rex asked when he woke up in the morning was "is daddy's belly still hurtin'?" malloy asked about every 5 minutes if daddy was feeling better.
