A lot going on...

Picnic @ the Park...

We went for a picnic dinner with the Sevy's and Grandma Grape and Grandpa Kent (Grandma Kara was on vacation) at the Main Street Park or whatever you want to call it with the splash pad and carousel, the carousel was closed and the water was off-which was okay because it got chilly once the sun went down... It was really fun and the girls loved it- That rock where Molly is standing is where she later fell and well that's for a whole post of its own-

 Bria, Vann, Molly, and sweet Grandma Grape

 Grandma and Grandpa were down for Gramps to go to some meeting so we were able to play with Grandma Grape for a couple days- Breakfast and lunch and some Target shopping were in store for us and the girls LOVED it, we went the last day and met Grandpa Kent at his meeting so we had to get a quick picture of them all even though the girls are clearly not looking in my direction which is pretty normal these days!

 

Last week after the weather shaped up I took the girls to the park and to feed the ducks at a pond near by the park. They had a lot of fun and we happened to run into lots of our friends..Molly's leg was bothering her from her fall (mentioned above) so she was limping around and being ever so careful. Right after we fed the ducks I took her to the Dr. who looked her over and wrote a order for an x-ray to be had if in a week she was still limping...more on that later!!! 

Park and Ducks..

 

Saturday we went up to Springdale for their St. Patrick's Day parade, we did this right after Maggie was born and Molly loved it-last year no one was around to go with so this year my mom and I took the girls up to the parade and eat at "The Flying Monkey" the girls had a blast and loved getting candy and later eating "monkey fingers" for more sugar!!! Thanks Grandma Kara for coming with us!

Sneaky Snack Getters

Sadie comes over 2 times a week and this day I was rushing to get Maggie to sleep, Molly asked for a snack I told her as soon as I got Maggie down I would get her one. When I returned  I saw they had helped themselves to not only a snack, but Strawberries a bowl of M&M's, and Squeaky Cheese! They finished all the strawberries and had the greatest snack ever!

 

Cousins come to Play

This week Mya and Zach are down and that always means lots of playing especially for Molly who can't help but wanna play at Grandma Janet's when her cousins are down... That's all she can think about while they are in town. Wednesday we went to the park and to feed the ducks and lunch- They loved feeding the ducks 2 whole loafs of bread and Zach couldn't help but run after the little guys making the girls squeal with delight!

 Clint stopped by on his lunch break to see the girls..

 

Molly's First Soccer Game

Molly had her first soccer game today and she has been so excited- her leg is still bothering her so I was worried how she would do, but she still wanted to play so I let her try. She looked so adorable and could hardly wait to put her new soccer clothes on. She got on the field the first time and started to try and run with the kids and just burst into tears cuz her leg hurt so she spent most the game on Grandma Kara's lap-then the last few minutes she decided to try again and she got to kick the ball and tried her best to run, but that leg started buggin so she came out and rested on Grandma Janet's lap-Clint is her coach and she thinks that is pretty cool and her 2nd cousin Vann is also on her team.  Grandma Janet, Grandma Kara, Abbey and Matt, and Mya and Everett were all there to cheer her on. She got in the car and said "next time I bet my leg is better and I will run extra super fast" bless her little heart... So we will see what next week brings.  All in all she still loved it despite that leg bothering her.. I sure hope we hear what is going on soon so we can get it better (still waiting on x-ray results...)

Vann and Molly

 Trying to re-group on Grandma Kara's lap...

 Happy after she kicked the ball a little and was able to play for a few minutes....

m&m Mondays...

 Molly:

1* She still LOVES to line up all her "guys" she could spend hours doing this in the tub if I let her

2* She laid all her La-La-Loopsy's.and some of her guys in her bed and told me I had to be quite or they would wake up and she would be very angry!

3*She was all about the Girl Scout Cookies, I thought they were hidden enough after her last episode with the cookies-WRONG, she found this box and had a death grip on them while she was eating them...

5* She was pretty sick this week for about 2 days she laid low and had a fever and just now is perking up a bit-she has a yucky cough too, but looks like she is on the mend

6* We went to the splash pad for a picnic(the water was off) and to ride the carousel (it was closed) with my grandma more on that later, but Molly fell while climbing and bruised her little hip pretty bad and is still walking with a slight limp.

Maggie:

1* We put Mags hair in a real live pony tail this week, it did not last for very long before it all fell out, but she looked so adorable while it lasted.

2* She likes to go around being a "puppy Mah-mee" (puppy Maggie) she will come up to us with her tongue out panting until we pat or rub her had or tickle her belly-this is an almost daily act and sometimes she picks things up I ask for with her teeth and brings them too me-She is a crack up!

3* Every time she gets in the tub she puts the toy bucket on and says "look at my silly hat" she does this multiple times every bath

4* She too got the same yucky cold Molly did, she didn't really get a fever, but sure was miserable and woke herself up during naps and bed coughing so much-she is starting to perk up a bit, I hope she is better soon cuz she sure is extra whiney and sleeping horribly

5* She loves to walk on her tippy toes around the house

Hopscotch and Secrets...

The weather has been so awesome and one day while Sadie was over playing the girls were trying to draw a hopscotch- I drew them a big one and they played on it forever-Sadie was really speedy, Molly was more concentrated but got faster and faster.. Maggie thought she was doing it just like the big girls and was so proud of herself, bless her little heart! It was so fun and now Molly wants to practice her hopscotch every day!

 Sadie in action..

 Hoppin Molly J.

 Little Maggie Moomers

 Best Buddies- these two love each other and get a long so well- it really is too bad Sadie will be going to Kindergarten and Molly doesn't hit the deadline so will be a year behind-even though Molly is a head taller HA!

 Chalk is always fun I love to see what they come up with..

 This is Molly Drawing Rapunzel look at that very long red hair, beautiful!

 Maggie taking a crack at it...

 Sadie and Molly disappeared onto the chairs and were telling each other secrets and then laughing their little heads off- O to be little again, life is just so simple!

 A race down the driveway to end the day-this was a close one!!!

Meet Rizzo and Sparkle...

I went out on a limb and we decided to get baby chicks and have them in our backyard when they got bigger so we could have fresh eggs... We are just getting our yard finished so it would be perfect or so I thought. We were so excited Clint not so much, but the girls and I loved the idea of little chicks as our new pets. We went to the store and got them and got all the stuff they needed to keep they growing and strong until they could be put outside and start to get bigger to lay eggs. We got them all set up and were loving on them when I realized every time I went in the room they were in my eyes/throat would start to itch and I would start sneezing-Same with Maggie everytime she came in she would start to sneeze and her nose would run.. So we were allergic and had to get rid of the little chicks. It was really sad-we only had them a couple days I knew they would go outside after about 5 weeks, but 5 weeks with horrible allergies was not going to be fun so we had to give them to a guy my dad knew that had some other baby chicks and didn't mind adding 2 more to the brood. I am not going to lie there may have been some tears shed on both Molly and my part... They are doing fine now and in a great little home where they will be able to have lots of friends-that's what we told Molly and it made her much happier.

Molly was so in love with these two chicks- the first morning she woke up and heard them peeping she woke Maggie up and said "Come on Mag lets go see our cute little chicks they are waiting for us"  Molly named them "Rizzo" and "Sparkle" they looked the same so it was hard to tell which was which.It was fun while it lasted and we sure miss our little chicks now!

m&m Mondays

 Molly

1* Can write all her letters just by me saying the letter, then she writes it down. She has been into spelling things so I tell her which letters come next and she spells words in the littler picture with the mag-na-doodle the first word is STOP, DOG, then CAT... The first picture is CLINT-she ran out of room for the T so moved it to the front!

2* She loves to color more than anything right now and is getting really good

3*She keeps bossing Maggie and at the end saying "do you understand"

4*Her La-La-Loopsy's are her favorite thing to play with right now

5* Molly got out the Girl Scout cookies while I was outside watering the pots- I cam in and she said "Its okay mom, there is plenty we will share with you!-girl after my own heart!

 

Maggie

1* I am loving her hair in "real" piggies, she looks so much older though!

2* She loves to get herself dressed and will try till she is too frustrated before she lets us help her. 

3*She also picks out her own shoes EVERYDAY, there is no changing her mind either. If she picks them she wears them and puts them on herself wrong feet and all and WONT let you change/fix it.

4*She still love "bear bear" and "blank" and wont sleep without them. If we have to wash them she freaks until they come out of the dryer all warm and cozy.

Little Ballerina...

First off this crazy was being a ham the other day and I could not resist taking her pictures in all her crazy glory...

 Onto my Ballerina Baby, Molly is so excited for her upcoming performance in May and they have started practicing she comes home and shows me all her new "ballet tricks" and it just melts my heart, she loves Ballet and takes it very seriously when she is showing me what she learned... So glad she loves it so much and can keep going as long as she wants!

 Total concentration on that little face!

 She was so cute before preschool and asked I take a picture of her fancy hair so how could I say no to that!
