Little Flutterbugs

Was fun and busy. Briefly played with the cousins. Sad to see them go to Orlando for the week. Ate too many Easter baked goods. Warm enough for Matheson Hammock and Key Biscayne Beach. Daddy’s tidal pool. Sand castle fun. Visit with Tio Juan. Miami Metro Zoo Egg Safari. 

The girls had fun painting Easter eggs. I intended on taking pictures… but oh boy the mess.  Ariana thought the little Paas Easter egg tablets was candy. Her mouth was dyed blue by the time we finished. Gabby on the other hand, enjoyed painting herself. The kit we bought had miniature rollers.  She happily painted on her legs and arms. As I said… oh the mess. 

As the week progressed, Gabby asked to do some arts and craft. I quickly hopped on the internet and found some ideas . We made lollipop flowers. A variation idea from this crafty lady.  We also made Martha Stewart’s envelope bunnies. Again we made a variation of it. Filled the envelopes with chocolates and candies to give out.  

Before we took off for South Florida the girls and I decorated their rooms with hanging carrots and wooden bunnies.

Hooray! Skies cleared up and out we went for a race around our block!

First of April brought us all day rain. While sitting with Gabby on the couch drinking hot cocoa, we started talking about her favorite things.

Last minute, we decided to take the girls to their first baseball game. 

The Gators were meeting the Seminoles tonight at the Baseball Grounds of Jax for the second encounter of the Sunshine rivals. 

Gabby giving her Gators a “thumbs up”. 

How can you attend a ball game and not eat ice cream from the helmet and then wear it on your head.

After we cheered on the Gators. We gave Ariana a special treat to try for the first time. 

Yummy cotton candy. 

We totally lucked out it didn’t rain on us. Skies were dark and grey. We walked the grounds and the girls ran and played. 

We left at the bottom of the third inning.  A great evening for all of us.
