A special tumbling class

I feel like I'm always saying this, but today was a busy day.  Gigi came over to go to tumbling class with us.  She had been wanting to see Handley in action and Handley was thrilled with the idea of it.  She walked on the beam, bounced on the trampoline, and did her front rolls proudly, knowing she had an audience sitting in the bleachers (or the "batch-e-letors" as she calls them).  After her class we went to lunch at our favorite local spot - "the bakery" (aka McEntyres). This is always a special treat for Handley after her tumbling class.  She knows if she is a good listener during her class we get to eat here.  They have great sandwiches, the best sweet tea, and all sorts of yummy treats for her to choose from.  Today Gigi treated both she and Harper to giant ladybug cookies!  

This afternoon we had a special Mother's Day play group.  The kids made cards and pictures for us and the mom's got to sip on mimosas!  Now that is my kind of play group. :-) Ha! 
Harper and Everett are a week apart and so funny together.  They both crack each other up and Harper is such a flirt with him. 
Handley has been saying some of the cutest things these days.  A few of them that stick out in my mind:   

-We are ready to roll (when we are getting ready to go somewhere) 
-CONGRATULATIONS! (often says this to Sydney this when she gives her a treat or to Harper when she gives her a toy)
-Today while playing pat-a-cake with Harper she said, "...roll it, and pat it, and mark it with a B, throw it in the OCEAN for baby and me!"
