March 2010

Okay, so I didn't post the month of March. I am pretty tired by bed time for the girls, which is when I usually get around to it and just haven't felt like it. So here is a recap of the month to make up for lost time. D and Daddy are still best friends. He puts her to bed every night and while she still prefers me more of the time she is much happier to accept him lately.

I picked up a couple of "tutus" at the JBF sale this year and the girls like to dance and twirl in them.

Georgia's is more of a real tutu but D doesn't know the difference.

They have days where they are best buddies. Mostly this is dictated by G's mood because Darby is always happy to be with her big sis. Here they pulled their chairs together to eat dinner.

In the last month Darby has really taken to books and has much more patience both when being read to and when "reading" by herself. She loves the Brown Bear series and has most of them memorized so she will sit and read them to herself.

Again in the chair with Daddy. I learned how to stove pop popcorn last month since I don't like any of the microwave variety and air pop has no flavor. The kids love it in a bag for a snack.

Nanue came for the first time since X-mas and watched the girls so I could work over their spring break. It was a great trip and so nice to have the help.

It also snowed. Too much snow for March in my opinion but the second year in row for a late March snow.

And we are gearing up for swim season. Swim suits have been brought out of the closet and worn around the house on numerous occasions already.

D is working on her "popping under."

She is too cute lately.

I turned 33 last month and here they are waiting for the party to start and looking for deer in the valley.

My party was fun and all my family came. The girls love their cousin Vivian and she is so good with them.

I think the kids got more presents than I did thanks to Mary and Aunt Kiki and uncle Matt. Here is D with her first Slinky.

I like this picture because it looks like D is upset about a bible book when really she is crying about a balloon. She is terrified of balloons.

Darby got a princess key chain and G was quite jealous.

And my big present was a new sewing machine. It is so nice and quiet and smooth. I love it.

And then there was the cake

Always the best part of a birthday party.

Vivian got some temp tattoos and I put a few on the old belly.

And finally here is G completing a stacking challenge.

Here she is guarding it so Darby won't knock it over.
