My life would be pretty boring without my kids!

My life would be pretty boring without entertainment like this. I got out my camera to take some pictures and Gabby said "I want my picture too!" When I went to take the picture this is the pose that she struck...not once, but twice! It was so funny.

What a day!!! Pictures & Grandma's 80th Birthday

Today we took the girls to Target to get their pictures taken in their Easter Dresses along with Roman, Savannah, and Jaren. I think we may have been insane trying to get them all together in a picture but we got some cute and funny pictures. I really didn't like the photographer...she seemed more interested in getting us in and out more than anything. At least the kids cooperated and we got some cute pictures...I would credit that more to the cute kids than the photographer though. Anyway, we went to Wendy's house and she did the girl's hair before pictures. First, here are some cute pics of Gabby with Curlers in her hair.

These next pictures are after we got back from getting pictures taken with the kids in their Easter outfits still. Kaylee's hair was still kind of wet when we took the curlers out of her hair for pictures so her curls had completely fallen by the time we got back. Gabby's hair stayed curly pretty well until the rain and snow got to it later. I think it's funny that Roman is just interested in watching what Gabby is doing.

Tonight was my grandma's 80th birthday party and Kaylee was so excited to jump up and say surprise when my grandma walked in but by the time it was time to say surprise she decided to pretend to be shy. My sister took a few pictures there so here are a few of the pictures she got.

Another use for pull-ups?

I was downstairs talking on the phone to my sister when Gabby came to the top of the stairs with "Floaties" on her arms so she could go swimming??? The only problem was that her floaties were pull-ups. Wendy said I had to hurry and take a picture and post it on my blog so here it is. I really don't recommend using pull-ups as floaties even if Gabby seems to think it's a good idea. My kids are so ready for the weather to be nice and it seems like they might be getting a little too anxious.

A new chair!

Wednesday while Kaylee was at school I needed to run a few errands. I was done with my errands and there was still lots of time before Kaylee was out of school so Gabby and I wandered into Down East Home Outlet store. They are remodeling their store so they had some item REALLY marked down just because it got dust on it from the construction. Up near the register was a kids size sectional sofa piece. It was regularly $100 and on clearance for $20 so I decided to go ahead and grab it for the kids play room. They love it...and don't really want to share. But, they have learned when they don't shar no one gets it and the sectional goes into time out. This morning they finally learned their lesson and really wanted to share, and they were REALLY good at sharing. So, I figured I would snap a few pictures for everyone to enjoy.

Going to the Zoo!

I was so excited when I got an email from Nicola this morning inviting us to go to the zoo with her sometime maybe next week or tomorrow. It just so happened that the sometime ended up being TODAY! I haven't seen Nicola and her kids in months and we were all thrilled to go hang out at the zoo, and even better...Wendy and Roman came too. It was such a nice day today and we were all thrilled to be outside enjoying the day.

Kaylee and Noelle were our map readers...Their goal was to get us to the Penguins.

Gabby was running around in circles under this straw umbrella by the black bear.

Our amazing map readers did manage to get us to the penguin exhibit!

This is my favorite picture. We went into the small animal building and Kaylee thought it stunk.

We had so much fun at the zoo! They got to see all the animals and play on the playground.

Gabby's fashion moment

Gabby felt left out that there was a picture of Kaylee in her polka-dot dress...so here is Gabby's picture of her polka-dot dress and hat. The hat kind of drowns her head but at least she likes it.

My little fashion diva

I have been selling Kaylee's and Gabby's clothes from last spring and summer on ebay which means...they get new clothes. I went to Gymboree yesterday and fell in love with the new collection they just came out with. Today Kaylee wanted to model her new dress. She loves wearing dresses lately. So here is one of her new dresses from Gymboree's Ice Cream Social collection.
