Spring Tease

65 degrees in February?  I'll take it!  We have had an awesome weekend thanks to the beautiful weather!

This week we celebrated Valentine's Day.  The girls made a photo frame for Daddy with popsicle sticks, and Maggie went with Daddy to pick out a few fun things for me (a head-scratcher thingy and a pen that has a tiny massage roller on the end)!  Jamie and I had a delightful happy hour to toast our love.

the popsicle sticks

Let's do this

So excited to wear Maggie's
art apron

Maggie had a really barky cough that was worrying us, so Jamie took her to the doctor last week.  She ended up being fine, but enjoyed visiting her doc.

Pancake breakfast after a good checkup!

Jamie's mom was sick this week, so we each took a half day off work to watch the girls.  Jamie took the girls to work for one of his small classes, and they got to be art students for a little while.

I'm trying to focus

Really into it

Lots of scribbles from Evie - she normally gets bored after
just a few streaks

Perfecting it

 Saturday morning, Jamie took both girls to do the grocery shopping so I could get our house in order.  He is a very brave man.

Amazing how much entertainment a wipe provides

That night we went over Bobby's house to babysit.  We decided to bring the girls along so the cousins could play together - they entertained each other, brilliant!

Too many cooks in the kitchen

Evie was overly possessive of the baby stroller... poor
Sarah was shunned many times

Last weekend Jamie took Maggie to the zoo one day, and then Evie the next day (it just worked out).  I think they both enjoyed their one-on-one dates with Daddy.

I did not teach her that baby-hold

Giraffe enclosure - look how close you get!

Both girls got to see the bears out and about.

Sleepy at dinner time

These girls love to hang out together

I did not hear any noise from the girls while in the other room,
panic-walked into the room to find this sweetness

Peak-a-boo!

My kids do wear real clothes sometimes, I swear

Maggie's selfie

This video is a bit long, but Maggie is being a teacher and I love it:

I know we talk about Moana way too much, but here's yet another video of the girls singing together.  I just love watching Evie study Maggie to figure out what to sing.
