The Other Half of March

My last post was March 19th, so what happened the rest of the month?

- On the 22nd, Jill came over with Ava to say hello for a bit. Abby brought some toys out of her room to play with Ava. After they had been here for a little bit, I got a call from Kyleigh's school saying she had a fever and needed to be picked up. :(

- On Saturday the 23rd, Abby had a friend's birthday party to go to. The party was at a nearby LifeTime Fitness. The kids had a lot of fun playing games and jumping in a bounce house.

Playing 'Red Light, Green Light'.

Playing 'Simon Says'.

What have we been up to? - Part 3

Okay, so I've hit the highlights (or at least picture highlights) for the months of January and February. Now I'm up to March, but since we aren't all the way through yet I figured I'd just cover the first half of the month.

So far in March:
- Kyleigh's class celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday. :) In honor of that, Kyleigh wore her 'Thing 2' shirt. Turns out one of her friends wore their 'Thing 1' shirt. haha

Please ignore boxes...I was cleaning out closets. haha

- The girls and I went to Dunkin Donuts one Saturday morning after letting Boone out for Nate's parents.

In February:
- The girls and I made Gak while Kyleigh was tracked out. They really enjoyed watching how to make it and then playing with it. :)

Getting acquainted with the feel of the Gak.

So I last posted about two months ago. Yikes, sorry about that. So what have we been up to??

In January:
- Abby was the top Tiger (her preschool class is called the 'tigers'; each class is associated with an animal) for the week and over the weekend got to bring home the class tiger! He had fun with Abby. :)

The girls having hot chocolate with Tiger.

We got a little snow, so Tiger helped Daddy get his car ready to leave.

Cheers to the New Year!

      The start of a new year. Usually, at the start of each year, I am sad about having to start the whole year over again. See, I like the months from about September on and all the months prior are just spent getting to this point. It's odd, but this year I'm filled with excitement. Maybe this change of heart comes from being a mom. I know, I know. I've been a mom for 6 and a half years now. But I think this year is different because both girls are old enough to do more now than in past years, and they are truly enjoying it and Abby is now reaching the age where she remembers it. (The mind of kids younger than 3, or 4 even, have a hard time remembering things they've done in the past, like holidays and trips and such.) I feel so much hope and excitement about the first half of this year that I believe this is going to be a wonderful year!

Shopping at the Mall

     Abby and I went shopping at the mall today with my mom and sister. From the Lush store, I bought the girls two fizzy bath balls. Abby looked so cute walking through the mall carrying her shopping bag. :)

Too cute.
