Mayhem in May!

 Our spring was abnormally cold!  It did not stop Ingrid a bit.  She loves to be outside and loves running around with Coco.  What a fun busy time of year!

 She loves to clink her sippy cup with everyone and yell "DING!" Quite a few meals become a celebration!  Here we are celebrating a late start for school because of a snow day... in the spring? 

Perkins and a late start was heaven for Oskar!

 She loves her Barbie jeep rides with her brothers!

 And she thinks it's funny to see Coco so dirty.  Mom is not amused.

 Since May is so busy with end of school exams and sports and more, Ingrid is getting creative with her naps.  She finds something soft to touch and out she is!!!

 Ingrid has gone to many orthodontist appointments since September, and here she is at Oskar's appointment where he gets his braces off!  Now only one Anderson left in braces! 
During the appointment Ingrid went to visit the ducks by the office.

 

 

We love Ingrid's crazy hair in the morning.  The boys laugh really hard yet we know they haven't looked in the mirror at themselves yet!

 

Breakfast is a giant entertainment time for the boys with Ingrid which delays greatly their cleaning their rooms, last minute homework, etc.  She has them singing and dancing, laughing and squealing.  Yes, at 17 Noah can still belt out a good high pitch squeal!  

 

Ingrid loves to take out all the pots and pans and lay on the kitchen floor.  We just step around her and smile.

The weather turned beautiful and Ingrid was outside every second she could!

 

Oskar and Noah love having her play football.



Being barefoot is her standard now.

 

Bjorn has taught Ingrid how to ride a long board.  Oh dear.

 



Coco likes to eat Ingrid's sidewalk chalk!  She will drag her by her ear to get back what she wants!

The Elmo sprinkler is a little too scary!

 

 

Planting our garden... all the boys had their shirts off all weekend so Ingrid never wanted one on either.  She took more dirt OUT of the garden then putting it in, but she had a messy ball.

 

Her favorite comment after she throws something (here the dirt), "where did it go?"

She is growing in so many ways like hopefully our garden will.  We are amazed at how at ease she is with our family and friends.  Blessings abound this short spring!
