April was filled with a bunch of random happenings. First, we found this cute little field mouse in the church one day during my exercise group. I felt so bad for the guy. He was probably in there overnight all by himself. So naturally we had to take him home and do our best to care for him. I am pretty sure the other ladies would have just thrown him outside and let him fend for himself. Unfortunately, he only survived a couple of hours, but during those hours, Netta was crazy excited about her first "pet."
We also got to see EZ perform in the 1st grade musical called "Hats." He did a great job learning all the songs and delivering his line. Seriously, we couldn't understand what half the kids said, but EZ did a got job of speaking clearly and slowly. It's amazing how proud you can feel about your child and their one line.
Netta got to go to her friend Avery's birthday party and she was in girly heaven. They got all dolled up and got to walk the runway. Some of the girls were shy about it, but not my Netta. She will take any chance she can get to be the center of attention. I am still trying to reconcile this girly girl with the one who talks about poop all the time.
Living in Texas means that April also kicks of the swimming season. EZ's dual language program had an end of year party that the kids got to swim at. Now, the water wasn't exactly warm, but that didn't stop the kids. We had to drag Netta and her blue lips out of there.
We also did some swimming at the Y, which is nice, because it is indoors and heated. Conrad absolutely loves the water and he was smiling the whole time. He is so cute I can hardly stand it!
Ever since Netta and John went to the daddy daughter dance, EZ and I have been itching for a mother son date and we finally got one. We went to Austin Park and Pizza for their unlimited mini-golf and pizza buffet. The buffet just about made me sick, but EZ loved it and I loved getting to spend the day with him.
Finally, I won passes to a free screening of Iron Man 3 in 3D. I wanted to get a picture of John and I, but we had to leave our phones in the car. There were tons of people who broke that rule, but we are sticklers I guess. The crazy part was that they gave our way way more passes than seats and John and I were literally numbers 297 and 298 out of 300 that they let in. I think I would have lost it if we hadn't made it in after having John get there an hour and a half early and paying for a babysitter. But hooray we made it and the movie was awesome!
