The Princesses do some cruising in their Princessmobile. By the way, Natalie can back this thing up and turn corners like nothin'. Watch out, 11 more years to go and she'll be legal to drive! Hopefully the laws will have changed by then and she'll have to be 21! Haha!

We also enjoyed a game of Sleepy Princess & the Pea before bed. The girls love this game. So does Mommy (and Daddy too!).

Natalie had spent the night at Grandma Diamond's house and the next day Grandma took her & Sydney to the park. Thanks Grandma for taking pictures for me. You know I don't like to miss anything!

And then that same evening Scott took the kids for a walk while I got some things done around the house....and returned about 20-30 minutes later with Ryan looking like this. This picture does not capture how bad he looked, but he obviously had a severe allergic reaction (in my opinion) from what we believe to be trees/pollens. His eyes were glassy, very bloodshot and he was rubbing them like crazy. His nose was running. Poor little guy, he. He actually got worse as the next couple of hours progressed. His eyes swelled up pretty bad and he starting looking like a bee, no kidding. His face looked very wierd. We took him to the pediatrician the next day and she confirmed that it was allergies and prescribed Zyrtec (1/2 t.) once a day, as needed or thru June when it shouldn't be so bad anymore. She also said that babies still have a lot of excess skin around their face/eyes and that is why the swelling was so severe in that area of his face. Poor little munchkin. Like father, like son. Ugh! We'll have to see if he's allergic to cats too, like Daddy....I guess we'll find out once Jane moves here, huh?!

Natalie's preschool class had a field trip to the park and a local family farm w/horses, goats (and cats & dogs/puppies)! It was pouring down rain, so we skipped the park portion of the field trip and still went to the farm. Natalie got a kick out of feeding the goats crackers (I don't think the goats would have ever stopped eating the crackers!) And I managed to get a picture of Natalie and I, thanks to one of the other moms.

Later that day, I signed Natalie up for Kindergarten and Amanda for preschool! What a day. My girls are getting so big. Hard to believe Natalie will be in Kindergarten and Amanda preschool (three's). Where is the time going? Anyway, Natalie is both excited and nervous. Amanda is just excited!

Ry Buddy had his 2nd tooth now. Here is the proof.
