A Picture Update

Hey all! We made it to Friday.

This is a hard part of the school year- the long slow slog until spring break. But I put on my good attitude sweatshirt on Monday and paid attention to the pretty sunrise outside my window.

 

Maya had fun with Boom. That face just gets me every time. 

 

Hanna and Dan invited us over for dinner on Monday night, and the girls had fun playing with Shambles.

 

They hung out with G-ma and Pa on Wednesday and Thursday. 

 

Yesterday was Dr. Seuss' birthday, and Maya had made some Dr. Seuss things in preschool to celebrate.

 

Tonight we are freshly bathed, ate dinner in the basement and looked fierce while watching the women Gophers.

 

I'll leave you with with 2 funny things:

1) A Callie QOTD: She asked about Ash Wednesday after seeing it on her calendar.

Callie: Today is Ash Wednesday.  What is that?
Me: That means it is the start of Lent.  We wait until Easter, when Jesus comes back.
Callie: Wait, what?
Me: When Jesus rose from the dead, remember?
Callie: Like a ZOMBIE?!?!

Oh boy.  I blame her Sunday School teacher of many years (*ahem* CHRIS *ahem*)


2) And also, a crazy Maya video...once again.

Have a great weekend!

Timehop Tuesday

Today is Laura and Craig's 2nd anniversary, which means that 2 years ago we were in Mexico, on the best trip ever.

So my Timehops today are from Mexico.

Callie:

 

Maya:

 

The flower girl dress (Maya likes to wear it backwards):

 

Weekend Wrap-Up

And it is already Sunday!

We are still battling some germ bugs in our house, so we kept things fairly low key.

Callie had a great time at her sleepover with Boom- pizza, Izzy's, playtime, and a trip to the museum. She's a lucky girl!

 

Meanwhile, Maya had a dinner date with Daddy, and then cuddle time with Mommy. Because she got another freaking cold.

 

Yesterday was dance class.

 

And there isn't any photo evidence, but we finally saw Lego Batman. It was a loud, colorful sensory overload of a movie. But the girls seemed to like it ok.

This morning Laura's friends threw her a baby shower! The highlight was seeing video of Craig answering questions about baby. So cute.

 

The rest of the day was pretty chill. Since Chris and Maya started the weekend on a dinner date, Callie and I ended it on a dinner date. At the same place.

 

Maya found Callie's bridesmaid dress from Laura and Craig's wedding (their 2nd anniversary is on Tuesday), but she likes to wear it backwards and doesn't stop moving for pictures.

 

That's about it! I'm trying out adjusting picture sizes on my phone app, so I hope the formatting turns out ok! 

Can you believe it's almost March? I cannot. 

A Picture Update

Hi guys. It has been a short work week, and yet I'm SO tired.

So here are the pictures:

Monday- we were all off school so we went to hang out at Boom's.

 

Tuesday- it was a BEAUTIFUL day. We walked to the library. Without winter coats on.

 

Also, the sunset was awesome. Thanks to Pa for sending me the picture on the left.

 

Wednesday and Thursday- the girls hung out with G-ma and Pa (and Callie had school too).

 

I got a new running shirt in the mail, which is now my favorite.

 

It is such a good reminder for so many things.

Callie is sleeping over at Boom's house tonight so we have Maya to ourselves. She woke up at 5am again, so I'm anticipating EARLY BEDTIME. 

I'll leave you with some Katy Perry karaoke. It's pretty awesome.

43-Months-Old!!!

I'm writing this at 5:30am, up in Maya's dark room. It's my second time up here this morning, because sometimes she likes to wake up super early and play when she should be sleeping.

Like that time last week. When I heard her in the monitor at 3:30am. I went up to her room and she was playing with her trains. Light on. Wide awake. I put her back to bed, and 20 minutes later heard more movement on the monitor. I went up to find her light on and her changed into a leotard. Twenty minutes after that I sent Chris up and he ended up laying on her floor until she finally fell back asleep (and then I had to wake her up at 7 to get ready for school). We found out the next morning she had gone and woken Callie up at 3:30am and eaten a stash of Valentine's candy that Callie had hidden up there. 

You can't make this stuff up.

This little spitfire has made our lives a lot better and a lot more interesting...for 43 months now!

 

 

And we couldn't be more thankful.

 

Timehop Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! I have a lot of them for you today.

First up: Gosselin family!

 

Then, Callie Joy.

 

And me and Maya.

 

A year ago we had a wedding shower for Mari, this year we had a baby shower for Laura! Looks like Mari wore the same dress. :)

 

Lastly, the girls in February weather!

 

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday! First off, I forgot to post Maya's preschool picture on Friday.

 

Doesn't she look so old?!?!? When I went to see the options of pictures to order a couple weeks ago, I landed on this one because in all the other ones she had a goofy little grin with her tongue sticking out. Silly girl. 

And then of course I had to find Callie's first preschool picture. And do a side by side.

 

Same shirt. On purpose.

And in the spirit of side-by-sides in the same clothes, how about this one?

 

I pulled out that dress this morning since it has felt like spring this weekend. And then found the picture of me wearing it, and of course, couldn't resist the comparison.

And now, on to our weekend. The girls went to a Lego Batman "event" at Target with Chris yesterday morning. Sounds like it was a lame scavenger hint that ended at a $10 off $50 dollar toy coupon (that they did NOT use). But Callie has been obsessed with Lego Batman so she had fun.

 

I'm sure we will be going to see the movie soon.

While they were doing that, I was at Laura's first baby shower!! Amy and Emily threw a lovely shower with lots of awesome ladies attending.

 

There was delicious food, fun games, and adorable baby presents.

 

 

 

Yesterday afternoon we hung out outside because it was awesome out.

I wanted to get a picture of the girls jumping, and had some pretty hilarious outtakes. I never got one with both of them off the ground. Maya didn't quite get it when I counted "1...2...3...jump!" As you can see, she was doing her own thing.

 

She had a lot of fun reacquainting herself to the playhouse.

Also, I have major eyelash envy.

This morning I went on a chilly run, but got to see the sunrise. Not quite Mexico caliber, but was still pretty.

 

Then the girls and I made pancakes.

 

After church we went to Boom's house and walked to Izzy's!

 

We also got to hang out with family friends Randy and Lori, but they were still ordering ice cream with Boom when I took this picture.

It's President's Day tomorrow so it is a long weekend! Have a great week.
