Pushing buttons!

Just realized Meg had figured out this apple contraption on her bouncer!  She wasn't into repeating herself for the camera, but eventually she relented!

Thirsty Thursdays

Pip had an Art Class after school for a couple of months and I eventually learned Grace's Mom, my friend Lora, sort of chaperoned the class.  She volunteered to bring him home afterwards and Thirst Thursdays were born!  The Patterson's come too and we have wine and make dinner while the kids play.  Every eats and has fun before we all head off home to bed.  Great tradition!!

Here we are for the first week, making pizzas!

Making bubbles

This was a happy moment in an otherwise very sick month for Meg.  She went down hard over MLK day and rebounded only for a bit, then down hard again through mid-February.  Gotta remember there were happy moments in there too!

Bubbling at Daddy!

Spell-a-thon!

Pip's school was having a spell-a-thon.  I figured for the older grades ... not kindergarten, right?  Wrong!  He got a list of 7 words and practiced with Phil for a week or so.  Then the big day!  6 correct!  He earned 6 ice cream coupons!  We were so proud!

Ouchie

Me an Vivie home one day.  Meg was napping.  Vivie somehow piled these up and got a boo-boo.  So she plopped herself on top of the pile of cushions with an ice bunny and watched a video.

Fireplace dancing

Viv LOVES her dance class.  She's really into it.  And since she's started you catch her all the time, hoping no one's looking, dancing to herself.  If she can find her reflection it's even better.  She'll point her toes, extend her arms, it's really fun to watch.  Here she is by the fireplace, in the zone.

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

At first she hated them ... too slimey!  But if she doesn't have to touch them, delicious!  Those monkeys are onto something!
