LOVE.

Love These Girls!

The girls are learning to play together so well. The sharing thing is coming along...not perfected, but coming along. Olivia is always boss, which as the oldest I can understand! HAHA! I just love watching them play and have fun together. Sisters are the best!

VBS Day 4

VBS Day 3

I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday (the real day 3). I tried to get pictures of Olivia but every time I came near her with the phone camera she would cover her face and scream "NO!" So, I only got a picture of Amanda during the musical finale. She loves going to be with the big kids at the end of her day. She dances, sings and of course smiles!

VBS Day 2

Olivia is having so much fun at VBS. Today as I was going back and forth between stations, I passed Liv's group doing this water play exercise. They were all so cute.

I decided to pick Amanda up from the nursery before today's musical finale and am so glad I did. She LOVED it. She danced and clapped and smiled the whole time. She definitely loves music and dancing.

Love Love Love!

Just Kick'in Back

The girls decided to put their feet up, relax, and watch some Dora. I wonder where (or who) they are learning this behavior from?

It's All About the Shoes

I cannot get Amanda out of these Sleeping Beauty heels. She screams when I make her take them off and leaving the house has become such a "joy" because she can't wear her heels. Olivia got some new shoes that I can't get off her feet either. She has been asking for Sketchers Twinkle Toes for about 2 months and we finally gave in. She has been wearing her shoes all day, everyday and she sleeps with them in her bed. I am more of a purse girl myself (I might have even slept with a purse in my bed before), so I just don't get the shoe thing!

They Don't Even Know Who Garfield Is

I had to get a baby shower gift so I was forced to take the girls to Toys R Us. (It's closer than Babies R Us.) I told them before we went in that we were getting a baby gift and that was it. After much begging, I let them ride the Garfield car since they had good behavior while we were inside. Note: Disregard the bag in Liv's hand. I am a sucker. I know! Good thing Amanda can't bargain with me yet. Liv is destined to be a lawyer or a sales person. She can somehow convince me of almost anything!

On another note: I went to the "said" baby shower last weekend and as I was leaving a lady stopped me and asked me for my maiden name. When I told her she said "I knew it! I would know those cheeks anywhere!" Turns out she was my preschool teacher. She said that she kept looking at me and just knew that I looked familiar. I have not seen her since preschool but she recognized me. Either I haven't changed much since preschool or my cheeks make a big impression! (It was actually really neat to see her and I was honored that she recognized me. At least she didn't say "Wow, you look old!)

Georgetown Red Poppy Festival

Georgetown has a Red Poppy Festival every spring while the poppy's are blooming. I have always wanted to go, but this is the first year we actually made it there. (I admit it, I am a sucker for arts and craft vendors!) Below are some pics from the festival!

Amanda after some chocolate covered rice cakes!

Sandy-the sand woman!

Not the red poppies, but beautiful pink roses!

Jack's Yo Gabba Gabba Party

This weekend we went to Jack's 2nd Birthday party. It was a Yo Gabba Gabba party and Amy really set the bar for all of us who love to have festive, themed birthday parties. These pictures are just some of the awesome things that the kids got to eat, see, and play with at the party!

Dr. Olivia

Amanda has been sick on and off for a week. We took her to the doctor and the only diagnosis was allergies. She was tested for flu, ear infection, strep, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and a kidney infection. She was negative for everything, which is good, but also frustrating when you just want your baby to feel better. Dr. Olivia decided to give her an examination of her own and put her on bed rest on their picnic table. Amanda was so out of energy that she just played along! Luckily she is now back to her normal, energetic, smiley self!

Kite Festival at Zilker Park 2010

We took the girls to the Kite Festival at Zilker Park last Sunday. It was so much fun. We forgot to bring a picnic blanket so we had to stand the whole time, but the girls had a great time. We saw so many awesome kites. Olivia is really looking forward to flying her Dora kite this spring!
