The Castellano Girls: Happy Easter!

I truly can't believe that it's April already tomorrow! We've been counting down the months until April knowing that would be the month that our next miracle will be brought into this world. My c-section is scheduled for April 17th. Only 2 1/2 weeks away!!!! Now I'm not so sure we are ready. :) Lots of changes coming our way. But we couldn't be more excited. The room is pretty much ready. And most would think that we have tons of girl's clothes...which we do! But unfortunately, most are from the wrong season. Who would have thought about that, huh? :) Most of the girls' infant clothes are Winter, and we really needed Spring/Summer clothes for the new baby. So, I have spent some time consignment shopping lately. (one of my favorite things to do actually) :) I've done pretty well, so hopefully we are ready for at least a few months!

Here's a few pictures to show what we have been up to lately!!

Braelyn still loves these silly rides that usually steal your quarters, but I try to keep a few in my purse so she gets the chance to ride them.

This is the only toy that Gwendolyn loves. And let me tell you, she LOVES it! She got it for Christmas this year and calls it her "Princess Baby". She hugs it and feeds it and pushes it in a stroller. But at night......Princess Baby MUST go in the closet. Gwendolyn is quirky with her bedtime routine. She does not allow anything out of the ordinary to be in her view when she goes to sleep. All clothes must be off the dresser, no toys left on the floor, and Princess Baby needs to be safely stowed in the closet. We don't ask questions. :)

Gwendolyn wanted me to write Daddy's name on the paper so she could trace it. She's been really into tracing lately.

This was me a week or so ago. The girls are extremely excited for the baby!!!

I am SO proud of this picture!! Braelyn was sitting at the table drawing and coloring one day and she said, "Look Mommy! I drawed an egg and writed your name!" And I'll be darned...she did!!! She has asked me how to spell Mom for awhile now, but this is the first time that she wrote it all by herself. She has been writing it on everything lately and I couldn't be happier! Love that girl.

One of the many moments that the girls just asked me to take their picture.

Coloring Easter eggs!!

This is how we started our Saturday morning. Love my life!!

We spent some time at the horse barn on Saturday signing Gwendolyn up for her horseback riding again. Braelyn gets to join her again this year too. They are very excited to see their horses again.

Poor Gwendolyn was a bit apprehensive about getting on the horses again. Daddy was a good sport and aloud her to sit on his shoulders to let her warm up to the idea again. She eventually sat on the horse, but just for a little bit.

The girls were rewarded with ice cream afterwards. But maybe just because I was in the mood for some ice cream. :)

This was just a funny Gwenner moment. I was asking her to come over to me so that I could change her pants, but she just kept saying, "Just a minute Mommy! I want to see this real quick!" As you can see, it was the weather report. Sure kid, not too convincing my friend. :)

Easter baskets that the Easter bunny brought. Gwendolyn wasn't too excited about the Easter Bunny being in her house over night. Not a fan.

Gwendolyn is obsessed with Barney at the moment. I have learned that Barney stuff isn't that easy to come by anymore! It's a bummer. But, I did manage to score this book at a consignment sale and the Easter Bunny brought it to her this morning. :) So keep your eyes out for anything Barney related and I will totally buy it from you. :)
