Pics and more

Kyle made it back safely to the States late Friday night and my sanity was re gained yesterday :) Kidding, but not really. Last week was a tough one. Reese was a stinker the whole week, and by saying stinker, I am trying to be nice. I can think of many more not appropriate words that I could say instead :) She was a handful to say the least, even turning into a teenager at one point saying (I mean screaming) "Mom, you are so mean." Ugh, terrible 3's. She was doing a lot better, but lately we have been struggling. And it only seems to be with me. She doesn't treat Kyle badly, or her teachers, friends, etc. Just me. I'm sure its because I'm with her the majority of the time. So, we have a whole new set of consequences I have set up when she acts out, and it seems to be working the past 2 days. I hope we are turning a corner.
In other news, we enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL weekend this weekend, and spent it all outdoors. We hit up the zoo yesterday and had a BLAST. The last time Preston was there was last summer, when he just took a joy ride in the stroller the entire time. This time was SO fun because he LOVED watching all the animals and made all the animal noises along the way. It was really neat to watch him watch the animals. His favorite was the penguins, which he proceeded to shout at them "DUCK, DUCK, DUCK" very loudly and attracting a lot of attention to himself :) It was quite funny.
Here are some pictures to recap our past month or so. Hope you all have been enjoying the nice weather. We hit 81 yesterday and 77 today- Spring has finally arrived.
We head home for Easter next weekend and Reese is very excited to see what the Easter bunny will bring. We are coloring eggs tonight, so she is counting the days!
