April is one of the greatest month of the year for us! Not only does the weather become absolutely beautiful but we get to celebrate Kyle's birthday! That comes at the end of the month so enjoy everything leading up to the birthday pictures.
Crazy glasses we made
We've been studying farms the past couple of weeks. We did this roll and color cow activity. Once again Kyle was attempting to color in the lines.
We are involved in a book exchange that will bring 36 books in the mail to Kyle if all involved participate. This was the first book Kyle received. He's received a second one since this one arrived.
Having a great time at Young's Gym.
Trying on our crazy glasses!!!

Let the party continue with some Guitar Hero!
