A Fun Day at the Exploreum's new bug exhibit...The kids were not really sure they liked the bugs at first because they were very large and moving while making weird bug noises.
William then decided the fighting beetles were cool.
The girls would not stand close to these bugs.
The girls were excited when they saw a cute caterpillar but as they walked closer they realized it made crazy noises too.
The locust spreading its large wings
William's favorite was the praying mantis
Our first time wearing real lipstick! Dressing up for the Fancy Nancy Fashion Show!
William decided if the girls were dressing up he wanted to wear Buzz Lightyear to Fairhope's Page and Palette book store.
Hannah walking the red carpet as Fancy Nancy!
Emily's turn to walk the red carpet!
The girls were so excited and did a great job in their first fashion show! After all the beautiful girls took a turn on the runway, a very animated storyteller read a Fancy Nancy book. Then all the girls headed downstairs for petit fours and a new Fancy Nancy purse!
Buzz Lightyear passed the time playing games on a cell phone and did enjoy eating a petit four with all the girls.

William lost his first tooth!!!
He is so excited that the Tooth Fairy is coming tonight!
We had no time to buy/make a special pillow so William used a little zip lock and put his tooth under his pillow. The next morning the tooth was missing but two dollars were in the bag. William said he was a little disappointed because he was wishing for a chocolate bunny. When Bill explained the Tooth Fairy only leaves money and that the Easter Bunny brings you chocolate, William was happy again. It was a very funny morning!

No school today so a beautiful morning to play at the park!
Look closely and William's bottom tooth is a little crooked! It is his first loose tooth!
Emily loves swinging!
Hannah on the swings too!
