Emily is 5 Years 4 Months old!

Emily is growing so much, so fast- here's what life is like with her this month.

--She loved having 9 little girls over for a Valentine's party.  I loved having some of the moms stick around to help me with hair, nails, and snacks for said 10 little girls, lol!  They had so much fun and I think this might become a new tradition for Emily. She talked about it for days after!

 -She loved going to Disney on Ice and had a great time.  I am always impressed at how good the show is, and this year was no different. I know- if Disney puts their name on it, it's going to be impressive...but they really were over the top this year.  I adored the Tinkerbell/fairies portion of it- if it comes to your town, you should definitely try to attend!

 -Emily also loved having me come to read to her school dressed as the Cat in the Hat.  It's funny- in the morning she was FURIOUS that they were having a "mystery reader" and said she didn't like it when other kids' moms came in to read.  Imagine her surprise when I bounded out in my cat outfit! She was thrilled!

-She also really enjoyed helping me work on lighting and trying out my new backdrop.  She is so funny- once she gets it in her mind that she wants to participate, she really goes all out-- see below!  What a ham!

-She also really enjoyed getting to spend a little tiny bit of time outside. This has been the LONGEST WINTER EVER and we are so tired of it...hoping some warm days will soon be upon us.  This is crazy!

Audrey is 2 Years and 5 Months Old

We are almost to 2.5 years for sweet Audrey girl! Here's what's happening this month:

-We played outside when we could. We are SO TIRED of winter!! You can just see how much she loves being outside... all these cold days are MISERY around here!

-She tried to play with the big kids. ;)

-She continued to do a great job with pottying.  She always pees on the potty...we are working on going poo poo on it.. (more on this in a moment). 

-I love this shot- Paul had just pulled in and she was abruptly turning to meet him-- she's completely diagonal! She sure loves her daddy. ;)

-"Sleeping" at Granny's house, haha!

-She routinely rips her clothes off at naptime. 

 -Eating an early-morning ice cream cone at Granny's house (BUSTED!!!)

-Watching the Lorax with sister-- she loves this movie and wants to watch it every single day.

 -Wearing a Big Girl Ponytail!

-Playing with Lena at school. 

-Fresh and clean: 

 -Sleeping on her cot at school- she has gotten much better about this!

 -She steals babydoll pacis now.

 -And sleeps with too many toys in her bed.

-Zonked out after the 3D movie.

-The Naughty Napper returns!

-We sent this pic to Daddy-- she has a "poopoo cake" in her hand...she wins a Little Debbie cake for every time she poopoos in the potty.  Sorry, Little Debbie! ;) 

-Probably the most entertaining thing from this month-- the arrival of "MyBaby", an imaginary baby who lives in Audrey's hand (see?!?!)  She wears pink clothes, and eats chicken nuggets and green beans, and she goes EVERYWHERE with Audrey.  It is SO funny.  We love her imagination!
