Bits and Pieces

Kelsey was pleased to finally find her Goldfish graham cracker from yesterday hiding in her Croc shoe this morning in her backpack.  When these are given out for breakfast at school, she always asks if she can take it home for Macey instead because she knows how much Macey likes them.

Taylie improved her tricycle riding skills.

Taylie got her first real haircut...about 2 inches off.

Macey now has layers and thinner hair.

Kelsey wants to keep growing hers out.

Macey hung out with me in the kitchen while I made dinner chatting about her day at school and making a grid with a ruler and then filling it in with the first and last names of her entire class.

Kelsey and Taylie played "movie theater" instead while dinner was being made.  They packed suitcases with blankets, gathered pillows, and made the living room as dark as possible to play on the kindle together.

We had sausage egg mcmuffins and strawberries for dinner.

Since it wasn't shower/bath night, we had time to sit by the fireplace and watch part of a movie.  Kelsey picked out Sandlot.

Macey asked me give her a lesson on how to draw 3D objects.

All 3 kids were in bed by 6:30pm and I am now planning for preschool tomorrow.




  

Bits & Pieces

(So Elizabeth has started doing "Today..." blogs and it has inspired me to do some once in awhile as well.  They should be quite fun to look back upon)

Taylie wanted to wear jam jams all day so I let her (until 4pm when we went to the library)

Macey made a cut out heart during indoor recess and wrote, "I love you Mom...From Macey" on it.

Taylie informed me today that Darrin is not her dad.  He is Eliza's dad and he blows her kisses.

Kelsey was excited it was her friend, Peighton's birthday today, and can't wait for the party this weekend.

While I was on the phone today, Macey got on the computer, googled "Colon Library" and somehow found their hours, wrote them on a piece of paper, cut it out and stuck it on the fridge and said, "The library is open until 7pm, can we go?"  How could I say no? :)

Taylie picked out a shapes book, Plop on Pop by Dr. Seus, and a Madeline DVD.
Kelsey picked out a chapter book on a gymnast named Dominique Moceaneau (sp?) and a horse movie.
Macey picked out a Magic Tree House book, Mercy Watson book, and Twenty-six Princesses.
I got Safe Haven

We tried a new recipe from Pinterest for dinner....Cheesy Chicken Lasagna.  Only myself, Jason, and Macey liked it.  surprise, surprise...

On the way to the library Taylie tells me, "I will be veeerrrrryyyyy  quietllllllllllllyy  at the library."    And she was very good there.

Kelsey was excited to tell me, she told her teacher all about Chicago and the American Girl store today at school.

I tried to wear my hair down for the first time in months...it ended up in a ponytail by 2pm.

This was the first day in probably a month, that Kelsey has not made an indoor fort.  Wait....take that back, she made one at Elizabeth's house today :)

Randomness

Jason's Birthday was last week and the first thing out of Kelsey's mouth when she woke up that day was, "I am so excited it's Dad's Birthday!"

She decorated all afternoon while he was at school.

All three girls had made him cards...Kels couldn't wait 

to show him her card that said, "I love your spikey hair"

The most quiet time during preschool...

Valentine fun at Elizabeth's house on Tuesday.

Having a "swimming party" with the couch cushions....

How she always sits in a chair.

Best buddies :)

She loves to paint.

And help me try new pinterest recipes during the day.
