Yay for Rainbow!

I think I'm just as excited as the girls are about our new Rainbow swing-set! Fun for them, and something for us to do in the afternoons without having to leave the house and deal w/ traffic ;)

Now if only it would NOT snow and warm up!

Visit with the Easter Bunny

I fully prepared for Allie to freak out....but she LOVED the Easter Bunny! Both girls were so excited to see her and ran up to give the Easter Bunny hugs. They kept going back for more :)

Spring!

It's officially Spring and we're spending as much time outdoors as we possibly can!
Early early Spring walk in the backyard:

Playing around:

Sleepy head! She fell asleep on the couch.

Out with friends: Comedy Castle

 Irish Dancing!

Field Trips

Fire Station

Animal Shelter

Luke feeding Allie

Kylie hugging Gianna

"I'm falling apart! waaaaa!"

Kylie just came to me crying, completely devastated and terrified... "I'm falling apart! waaaah. I'm falling apart!"

Turns out the skin on one of her toes is peeling just a little. It took me a good 10 minutes (and a pair of socks) to get her to calm down and understand that it's ok and normal.

:)

New Shoes

I took Allie shopping for a pair of new shoes, and found the cutest sneakers! Actually, she found them on the shelf, grabbed for them, wanted me to put them on her, and refused to take them off after that ;) Ha. We roamed the store with her new shoes on and only took them off for a brief minute to scan the tag. Allie is in love!

Of course I had to get Kylie a new pair of shoes as well. And I didn't even realize until we got home that Kylie's new shoes light up when she walks. She was sooooooooo beyond excited! She wore her new shoes around the house, insisted on wearing them to bed for her nap, and somehow managed to sneak them back into her room, put them on, and sleep with them on that night!

Score for 2 pairs of shoes on the clearance racks!

The "Elligator"

Today at school, Kylie excited showed me a window from the school office looking into the university. She kept shouting "look Mommy, an Elligator! And Elligator!" Turns out she was pointing to the elevator. She insisted it was an Elligator, no matter how many times I tried to get her to say "elevator" :)

Things are so literal to a 3 year old!

I love it :)

Dinner tonight, nothing new, Kylie won't eat:

Kylie: "I don't like it! I don't want to eat!"

Ryan: "If you eat it, you'll grow strong and get beautiful princess nails!" 

Kylie gobbles down her entire plate of food in under a minute, looks at her nails and says: "Where are my princess nails?" LOL

I told her I'd paint her nails if she ate her apple sauce too, so she finished that immediately. Then we painted her nails pretty princess pink :)

Happy 3rd Birthday Kylie!!!

So much fun!
