Happy Valentine's Day! (Or "Happy Valentime's Day" as the girls would say it!)

 Picking a winner.  Don't you just love outtakes??  Ha!

 I volunteered at Isabelle's 2nd grade class party to do crafts.  Poor kids!  But thanks to Pinterest, the candy robots were a hit!!!!

 Isabelle's teacher reading to the small group.  Isabelle is on the far left.

Thank you Pinterest...for helping inept moms like me...

 Allie's mommy robot on the left and mine on the right.  They were kissing and had just gotten married...you can see Allie puckered in the back ground.  

 Allie made a baby robot that pooped nerds.  

I love pinterest.  I love pinning things to make or do but realize I will probably never succeed.  I found these adorable little candy crafts for Isabelle's V-day party and they were super cute and fun!  And also, yay for a cool temperature glue gun too!

 Juliette's eyes are more hazel then brown.  They are so rich and deep, full of expression and mischief.

 Allie's eyes are green and since most people assume they are brown she now just thought it would be easier to say they are rather then argue.

 Juliette's hair is so so long.  I ask her if she wants to cut it and she says, "no..I so buuutiful".  Yes, you are Miss Juju.

 This squirrel was having a long snack at our peanut bird feeder.  When it saw me watching him with my camera it promptly turned its back on me.

 Allie up

 and Allie down.

Someone please tell me that spring is coming soon...:)

{This is Our Life} 6.52 {Good Morning}

 Breakfast time...Juliette always sits at the same place every morning and will throw a fit if she doesn't.  Notice that the high chair and booster seat are no longer in our breakfast nook?  

Top choice for breakfast

Donuts for all 3!

Top choice for a usual breakfast (that doesn't involve me mixing or using the stove)?

Isabelle: usually cereal or yogurt and white milk 

Allie: cinnamon toast with extra butter and chocolate milk

Juliette: Eggo cinnamon waffles and chocolate milk

 Still dark when we wake up...

 Must have.

 Good morning adorable.

 Good morning "monkey moo".

 Getting ready in the morning for school

 a concert after breakfast?  

 My rear window mirror stays in position but the reflection in the backseat keeps changing.  The girls are growing up.

 Off to school...

 and off to MDO...a good morning for me indeed!  :)

The girls are usually up by 7:15...sometimes earlier and tend to go see each other first thing.  I am usually awoken by the sounds of chatter upstairs.  Monday through Friday is school for Isabelle and Allie and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Juliette goes to a MDO.  Saturdays tend to be playing (at home, park, or a friends) and possibly an outing if Jamie is home.  Sundays consist of church and Sunday school at 9:30 and brunch afterwards.  

Superunderpants

Superunderpants...fighting a cough and fever Sunday through Wednesday!

Poor little Allie has been battling a virus this week.  Thanks to Motrin, we welcomed Superunderpants in our house!  Allie never ceases to make me laugh!  :)  She is has a lingering cough but is so much better and is back to school...the most exciting part of going back she said was a pile of work on her desk to do.   

Happy Valentine's Day! (13 days early)

I couldn't resist sharing these a bit early!  I purchased a couple of vinyl backdrops on sale and couldn't wait to use them.  The girls were really into this photo shoot and I let them pose and do what they wanted to do.  Allie grabbed every decoration she could find, Juliette was more interested in flinging the sweet-tarts, and Isabelle didn't have a lot of room on that 4 x 3 foot piece.  I almost look like I have a professional studio!  :)

Living on the edge...

Hair in a high bun...yes

Juju shown correct fingers to put in holes...absolutely

Many minutes of complete focus...uh-huh

brave mommy??? ...I think so

Trying to keep up with the big kids makes Juliette a motivated 2 year old.  :)
