A few February Instagrams

Little Drawings

I love the little notes and drawings that my girls do. 

They are my favorite. 

Molly will "color" and color for a long time. 

Recently this is what I have been finding...

I love it.

Austen & Bennett

I guess it’s newborn season or something! I didn’t even realize that I knew three babies that were born around the exact same time. Today I visited these sweet boys and their family. I just think they are both the cutest. Austen was very snuggly and Bennett such a great big brother and so polite. Sweet sweet boys…

Prez Week: The rest

The rest of Presidents week was short on pictures but not short on fun.

Wednesday: We went to the King County Aquatics center and had a ton of fun swimming again.

Thursday: We started our day at the Doctor’s office for a 7 year check up and a 2 year old check up. Molly had to get one shot and did not shed one tear. She’s tough like that.

Kyla’s Stats: 44lbs- 14% 4ft .5”- 50% 

Molly’s Stats: 25lbs- 26% 34.5”-66%

Next the Edwards girls came over all day while their mom was out. Lunch did not go according to plan but we made due. I told them “we improvised- that’s a fancy word for made it work".

We finished the night at the dentist. Heidi had to get a filling. She didn’t flinch (thanks in part to a television right in front of her face).

Friday: We visited our sweet friends Dorianne, Camdyn, and Livi (no pictures). Then we headed off to the Supermall where Heidi picked these glasses as a reward for her bravery…her own fashion glasses that fit.

Saturday: Was Upward Cheerleading and an evening hanging out with JuJu and crew eating delicious chocolate brownies.

Sunday:  Church, brunch with Gramma and Papa and an afternoon all to myself- wonderful.

I never reported on that first Saturday of break. We had no Cheerleading that day so we decided to go to Tiny Tots Skate with the neighbor crew. So fun. Molly opted out of the stroller and onto some skates. SO cute. She loved it. When we got home the girls stayed outside for about five hours. Heidi cried when it was time to come in. They are loving this new little cul-de-sac and so am I. While they were outside I put a new saying on the chalk board wall.

A nice break from school. Fun times with my girls. Now back to it!

Prez Week: Tuesday

Tuesday was a pretty low key but FUN day. The girls played the morning away with Taylor and Addison. Kristin came to pick up her girls and we got to have a little visit with the newest addition, Hayley. Molly LOVES babies and loves Hayley. Hayley is tiny. She’s sixish weeks old but still oh so small. Kristin is VERY gracious and lets Molly snuggle and hold her.

Did I mention she loves her. I’m not sure Hayley loves her back.

Of course we had to stage a little photoshoot while she was here…

The girls were sad to see the sisters leave but they continued their afternoon playing in the backyard, typing on the typewriter and of course singing some Wii High School Musical. It’s serious stuff around here (don’t sing the words if it isn’t your turn-SERIOUSLY). P.S. I LOOOOOOOOVE this Chevron mirror Casey crafted me. I smile every time I come into the room.

Then we blew bubbles and rode bikes with the cousins….

Prez Week: Monday

Monday: We stayed in our pajamas until we got into our swimsuits-after lunch.

We met Chels and the girls at family swim. Everyone loved it- except Harper, who thought the mural of an orca on the pool floor was a giant shark (not good). 

In the late afternoon it was time for a long planned sleepover with Taylor and Addison and all of their dolls. The girls all did great. The movie selection was the roughest part. :) Molly loved tagging along.

Prez Week: Sunday

We have some fun things planned for this week off.

Sunday we got spend some non-moving/non-project time as a family. It was nice. We went to the Tacoma Children’s Museum for few hours. It was great. We’d never been. It was small but all three girls loved it there.

They had an art room which of course Miss Artist LOVED.Molly had a perfect time there. She loved it all…especially the water table.

Heidi and Molly in the art room…Heidi wore this hat the ENTIRE weekend.

A fun time….more fun stay-home days to come….
