Birthday Post #1....

Please stand by as I get this 'ole blog up to date over the next week or so.  I have much catching up to do.  Right now I leave you with pictures of my newly turned six year old ladies.

I was fortunate enough to be able to have their actual birthday off work this year.  Terry and I were able to join the girls for lunch at school. 

Side note:  In the sour cream container was watermelon.  No my kids do not eat sour cream for lunch.  While we were gone on spring break, their regular lunch containers mysteriously disappeared??  And also, my kids don't typically eat the garbage that is lunchables.  They love them, but I don't feed them that junk.  It was their birthday so we made a junk food exception!

Love her....

Last weekend as I was supervising Alexis' in the shower, I heard Addison playing "school" in her room. She was having "circle time" and reading to the class. Poor Olaf got a chewing out though. Not sure what he did but Olaf was being punished by having to stay inside for recess.

Tooth Fairy Time......Addison's Turn!

 

On Monday, March 30th, 2014 Addison lost her first tooth.  This poor tooth had been hanging on for  forever!!  I was sure that tooth was going to fall out several weeks ago.  Finally, Monday evening I asked Addison if I could wiggle it.  A teeny tiny pull and that thing was in my hand.  Poor thing was freaked out by the blood but was super excited.  Of course this happened minutes before bedtime, but we still let her call both sets of grandparents to tell them the news!

 

Please excuse the bloody mouth photo!

 

 

Tooth fairy brought her a $2 bill just like her sister.  And yes, she is wearing halloween pajamas.  These are her favorite pjs for whatever reason.

 

 

And a certificate congratulating her on losing her first tooth!

 

 

Please excuse the bed head.  She just got up.  Side note:  We are still in the process of growing out her bangs....hence the shaggy dog look.

 

Egg Hunt 2015....

First Zoo trip of 2015....

 A little over a week ago (3-21-15) we had a tiny glimpse of some warmer weather.  The girls and I took advantage and made a trip to the zoo. 

 

 

We watched this tiger run back and forth for almost 15 minutes.

 

This orangutan was seriously interacting with Addison through the window.  The three of us were cracking up!  Seriously a fun day!

Bubbles in the Park....

We are definitely loving the signs of Spring around here!!!  But not loving the snow that fell yesterday!!  :-(

 

Sidewalk Spelling words....

Technically on the driveway (not the sidewalk) but whatever it takes to keep them focused!!!

My Lucky Charms.....

Better Late than never right???
 

Date Night....

Last Saturday night, I had at date with this little cutie......

 

 

PRINCESS PEANUT.....

Just because they are girls....

Doesn't mean they can't like monster trucks!!!! Another build and grow event at our local Lowe's store!!!

Goof Ball.....

 

Love that my shy, little reserved gal has started to REALLY come out of her shell lately!!!

Painting Workshop....

Last Saturday afternoon we took the girls to a painting workshop at our local cupcake shop.  It was a cute little project where the girls used wine corks to paint.  They had a great time!

 

Love it when they play together well....

Hope they continue to be best friends......right now, it all depends on the day!!!

Whatever works....

 

Just like every place in the mid-west right now, it's been beyond cold, snowy and just blah.  We are definitely ready for warmer weather.  We've been blessed with a super nice older gentleman who is the bus driver for the girls.  He pulls right up to the end of our driveway to pick them up each school day.  At the beginning of winter, he told us to stay inside the house until he comes.  He said that as long as he sees our front door open he will wait for the girls to come outside.   These pictures are what a typical morning waiting for the bus looks like.  Due to the extreme cold lately, our glass storm door fogs up.  The girls like to "draw" in the fog.  This morning I took advantage of their willingness to want to write on the door and made them practice their spelling words.  Hey, whatever works right?
