Front is done!

Well, the stairs still need to be put in...and we're waiting until Spring for the fountain, but otherwise, it's all done! :)

The girls crack me up :)

Have I mentioned how much I love this age (these ages)?!!! We were playing in the playroom earlier this week and the girls kept going to opposite sides of the tunnel, peeking through at each other, and cracking themselves up. They were both just looking and laughing hysterically! They'd roll around on the floor laughing, and then get back up and look through the tunnel and start all over again :)

At bedtime one night, I decided to ask Kylie what she'd like Santa to bring her for Christmas this year...just to see what she came up with. Her list: a wagon, a pool, a fire hose, and a tambourine!

Allie's new thing is to go into the pantry and steal food. She grabs it and runs! Her favorites to carry around are apple sauce and potatoes.

3rd Annual Cider Mill Trip

Today was our 3rd Annual Cider Mill Trip with the playgroup kids!

First, some nostalgia! Here they are at the first annual cider mill trip:

Can you tell who is who?! :)

Today

How tall am I?

Front yard work!

We finally got started on the front yard. Here are some pics of the process...(minus the fountain which should be arriving in 5 months!).

Before:

The Plan, though some adjustments have been made. After seeing the open space straight-on, we decided we loved it that way. Trees are now just going along the sides, not all around the circular driveway.

During:

Week 1

 

Week 2

White Pines lining the lot. 2 Maple trees added to the side. More to come later :)

Wrestling!

This started out with trying to get a cute picture of the girls together.... and soon progressed to them both wrestling in fits of giggles.

* disclaimer: neither got hurt at all, both were having a blast and laughing the entire time! ;) Allie can certainly hold her own against her big sister ;)
