We have a little game we like to play here called count the wildlife (creative title, I know). Take a look at tonight's findings...

• 25 deer 
• 5 elk 
• 1 wild cottontail  
• 2 osprey
• 1 Ali (believe you me, she totally counts lately)

Ready....


Set....




GOOOOO



What follows is an odd cross between an inchworm wiggle and an army man crawl.  It's pretty darn adorable. 

With his new-found skill one can usually find Brother Bear stuck under a stool in the dining room where he was foraging for scraps or at the bottom of the stairs yelling at the sisters to bring down their small, choking-hazard toys and come play with him.

On April Fools day anyway.  Can you believe Emma was actually disappointed when she found out it wasn't REAL noodles and REAL peas and carrots on her cupcake?  For reals. She picked all the fake, sugary goodness stuff off. 

Speaking of April Fools day the girls were really into it this year. 

Emma told her teacher she forgot snack.

She also would point repeatedly behind me and yell, "LOOK! A deer!!"  I fell for it. Every. Single. Time.

Ali, not quite understanding, insisted on joining the fun too.  She would randomly yell, "APRIL FOOOOLS" and cackle with glee for no reason at all.

It was quite the fun day.
