Scout is 4!

We have been celebrating Scout's birthday for like a week now since my Mom was leaving today for Callie's house.
 
We went to Build-a-Bear for Sadie's birthday last year and Scout has been dying to go ever since so we started with that last Thursday. We went down to the mall and I had to make sure that Sadie knew it was Scout's choice and I would take her out if she tried to force her will on Sadie. Scout tends to give in to Sadie much of the time so we had to make it clear :)
 
She ended up choosing an Elsa bear with an Elsa dress, shoes and Frozen underwear. She loved putting the heart and the bubble gum scent in her tummy. (Matt calls it Bubble gum gut--Scout always corrects him and says Bubble Gum Tummy!--he calls Sadie's Bubble gum butt since hers is in the butt). This is a fun tradition they get to do from Grammy and Grampy.
 
 
 
 
We went to the Zoo for Free Day and had a blast there as well! The kids loved seeing every thing.
 
 
 
We went to Chuck-E-Cheese yesterday to celebrate with Grammy too. (My kids are so spoiled!) We got there right when it opened and the games all had tickets sticking out so
I ditched the kids with my mom and ran around grabbing them before the other kids got them. It was so much fun. Caleb loved all the cars and moving ones. Scout loved those ones too. Sadie liked earning tickets. We had pizza there and a cookie pie thing too. Chuck-E came out and we danced with him and he gave us free tickets. Scout loved it.

 

 
 
 
 
Grammy left to go on the airplane this morning but Scout got to eat Trolls cereal for breakfast. She opened some hair chalk (a present) and we colored all their hairs. They did Caleb too. I wish I had taken more pictures. Grammy left some Peppa Pig bath stuff on the table so the kids had to take a long bath. Knox was depressed and sat on the bed with me almost the whole time. He likes to lay on the baby in my tummy. We hung out for a while and then took Sadie to school.
 
Scout got to do ABC mouse and watch a show or two while Caleb and Mommy napped. We picked Sadie up and Grampy was home so we went sledding. It was cold but the kids loved it. We sledded until the sun was going down and then ran inside.
 
Scout was given a bug container and bugs from Grandma Laura and she was so excited. (She also gave her a fox and a rainbow unicorn ball shooter thing but the bugs were the hit). Daddy had highly recommended that from his mom so she was good to get it and to explain that Matt loved doing all those things when he was little.
 
They got to out in the hot tub with Grampy which they love!! We talked to Matt on Skype and then played with glow sticks in their room.
 
 
 
 
We are so glad that Scout joined our family!
She is the best big sister to Caleb and the best little sister to Sadie. She is constantly working to make both of them happy.
She loves Knox and giving him love.
She is a quick learner and seems to love learning.
She knows 90% of her letters if not more. She knows her numbers too.
She loves her hamsters on ABC Mouse. She talks about getting real ones :/
She loves going in the hot tub and jumping on the trampoline.
She loves her family and gets anxious about going any place without us.
She still pinches as a calming habit.
 
Love you Scout!
