Flat Stanley & Snow

Flat Stanley arrived today for a visit....just in time for our first snowstorm of the season!

Breakfast with Dad...

...means a shamrock shake for two :)

Gymnastics!

Today was the last day of their first gymnastics session and they both loved it!  Too much fun!

Valentine's Day 2013

Valentine's Treats...

I got to help with Julia's Valentine's Day party....

Julia uses a lot of paper in preschool, she comes home with TONS of masterpieces!

Julia dancing in music class...

Pixie Pom & Cheer

Miss J and her friend waiting for cheer class! Parents don't get to watch, but it's funny when you hear them yell, "Ready OK!" We get to watch their performance on the last day of class!

The Bus Is Leaving....

Maybe I should mop more often....they loved the chairs in the living room and they were hilarious pretending they were driving a bus!

The Little Box for Two

These two have been missing all of the boxes from Christmas, good this UPS made a delivery!

Shaving Cream

Miss J having a grand time playing with the boats in shaving cream at school!

Laundry

Jack LOVES to help with the laundry and he is a great sorter! He gets everything ready and let's me know when it's time for the soap! He takes his job very seriously and has been teaching his sister the art of sorting....now if only they could fold (something other than washcloths) and put everything away I would be all set ;)

Let's Party

We've attended two birthday parties in the last week....

They LOVED painting treasure chests at a Michael's birthday party!

Double-fisted painter....

Julia adored the Oberweis cow....the little birthday girl, not so much!

Gymnastics!

Jack and Julia started their first gymnastics classes today (1/10/2013) and they both loved it! Lucky for me the classes are at the same time and next to each other! The pics are horrible....it's rather difficult to get a picture when they are in constant motion!

Happy Christmas 2012

This year there was so much excitement and what a super fun time we had celebrating Christmas! 

Jack thought that Santa may not bring him exactly what he wanted, so he was trying to figure out a few backup plans which included us going to the store to buy all of the "pirate stuff" or going to check out the Giving Tree presents at his school.  Santa brought lots of "pirate stuff"and princesses.  Santa was super kind at our house and included toothpaste, toothbrushes, and floss in their stockings.  Mrs. Claus didn't think that Santa should leave any candy, but Santa thought that was mean :)

Julia's favorite present was a castle (a castle made out of a box that you can color).  She sat and played inside her Sleeping Beauty Castle most of the day!
