FEBRUARY VACATION: DAY 3

We spent the morning playing in the snow that quickly turned to a chilly rain.... 

And decided that a favorite indoor activity was in order:

February Vacation DAY 2

   Who do you think had the most fun?

   

Shave and a hair cut.....

Finished Product

Brogan got his first "big wheel".  It is, of course, a Lightning McQueen themed ride and he insisted on the helmet...which he wears ALL the time, on the bike or not.  Safety first. He puts it on and then requests, "NOGGIN" which means he wants to bump his head into your head. When on the bike he can be heard exclaiming, "Wanna race?!" and "Move out of the way!!!".  Charming.  Really.

A little late but.....

KK's wall art

KK is ALL about Valentine's Day.  She has been drawing pictures and hanging them up all over the house.  This particular collection is in the hall near the bathroom.  It features several hearts and her favorite Power Puff Girl.  Do you remember the Power Puff Girls?  Do YOU know which one it is?  Blossom, Buttercup or Bubbles?  

Did you guess Blossom?  

If so, you are CORRECT!

In her own words......

Because Cass and KK share a room, it can be difficult to find privacy when you just want a little alone time.  So we have told Cass that she can write notes and stick them on the bedroom door when she wants a little quiet time.  Today, she wanted some quiet alone time to read "Bunicula" (remember that book?  A vampire bunny who sucks all the juice out of veggies and leaves them white?) .  I went up to get her for dinner and found this taped to her door:

PS:  We had broccoli for dinner.

Disney Princesses on Ice

Oh what a night!  I didn't tell the girls where I was taking them until I had them in the car already and was purchasing "Happy Meals".  The excitement was overwhelming and worth every second of painful secret keeping.  I am usually REALLY bad at keeping secrets like this.  Christmas is torture for this very reason.  Anyway, I had 2 very enchanted girls who had a night to remember.  See the locked eyes?  I have another image of them with their mouths open but it was a bit fuzzy, so it didn't make the blog.  This was a great girls night out.  So fun!

Autumn and Christmas Photos

This SWEET little girl...has given me a week of memories.  Here are just 2 of them:

I sent her to school in a cute pair of pink leggings.  When I picked her up, she had a huge hole ripped in them just above the knee.  When I questioned her about the hole, she indicated that she stuck a pencil through her pants and the hole just grew from there.  After expressing my displeasure at her vandalism I asked her what we were going to do to make sure this doesn't happen again.  She thought about it for a while and finally declared, "You could buy me RUBBER pants!".  Brian found this endlessly entertaining.  Rubber pants indeed!

And here is the 2nd little gem for you:

Brian picked the girls up from school on Wednesday.  The principle walked over to him and slipped him a note saying this, "We just want you to know that we intercepted this letter.  Cass and "E" were caught passing notes and we wanted to make you aware."  She handed him the folded note.  Not knowing what could possibly be cause for concern Brian opened the note and found:  

I have to confess, I LOVE her answer!  I think it's SOOOO cute!  And seriously...."respond"? How cute is that?!  When we talked to her about this later I asked her why she couldn't marry him and she told me "Because my mommy won't let me."  Well, I guess that's good enough.  Sigh.  So proud of my little one.
