I WILL have this lollipop...

Well, today Jess found a lollipop. She asked me to open it. I told her that I would not open it for her. I know I know...mean mommy. So...she went to the drawer and got out the scissors. She proceeded to try to cut open the lollipop. Smart, clever, and mischievous all rolled into one!!

Some family photos...























A huge thanks to Karen for chasing us around Botanical Gardens!! Enjoy the pics!

Hello Summer!

Well, we are off to a big boom for the summer! We had a great outing at the zoo. We went to visit Mommy's friends at MVES on Friday. We played at the park and had ice cream. Unfortunately, today the boom is thunder. Rain rain go away! The girls have been playing inside all day. Right now all is quiet...everyone is sleeping except Mommy and Tucky. Tucky wants to be sleeping but Daddy is on his spot on the couch. I have to say...that I treasure these days at home with the girls. I love to hear their laughter and giggles (despite the crying and fighting). Laney tickles me with her imaginative play now! She made me come to see her "sleepover" in her room. She had her dolls all in beds on the floor. They were snuggled up with blankets! How sweet is that!

Welcome to the zoo...hear us roar!!!!













Yesterday we went to the zoo with some friends! It was a great day! The animals were out and about...including us! We walked the whole zoo...and ran too! We finished up in the fountains and bubbles! The girls had the best day! Jess zonked out in the car within five minutes. She slept for 3 1/2 hours! A new record!

Rain rain go away...it is now fort day!




Since we cannot stop the rain, we decided to make Sunday fort day! Our living room turned into a huge fort. The girls loved it...Daddy did too! Even Tucker had a smile!

Family Photos...

Well, we have been trying to have our family photo taken officially since the beginning of April. The weather just hasn't cooperated. We finally got our pic taken on Thursday. My friend, Karen, was kind enough to chase us around Botanical Gardens! I can't wait to see the pics. We have not had an official family picture taken since our family was completed with Jess. And, yes, Jess will be two in July...bad bad bad Mommy. It is so hard to get everyone on board! This pic was an impromptu after an Easter Egg hunt. I will post pictures when I get them!! Very very excited!

Oh my Laney...

Laney informed me today that I have horns...meaning that my hair was sticking out. Oh my Laney...if you only knew...

Hello out there...

Is anyone reading this blog anymore??? I do not seem to get any comments any more...am I boring?

On the way home...

On the way home from school today, Jessi was very tired. She was fussy...unusual for her. Laney finally looked at her and said, "Jess be patient. You know Santa is watching." Too bad she doesn't take her own advice... :)

Storytime with Shushpuppy...





Jessi and I went to storytime today! She just loves it. Her favorite part is the Bean Bag Rock!! She does very well following the directions! I am so proud of her!

McWaning it today...













We went to McWane today because the rain, rain won't go away! When we got there, the parking spaces were very limited. That made my stomach hurt...I hate it when it is so packed! There were buses pulling in from every direction. GROAN! We almost changed our minds and went elsewhere. I am so glad we didn't!! Dinah, the girls, and I had the best time! We went straight to the Itty Bitty City and played our hearts out! It amazes me to watch the girls in action. I love the imagination shining through! Laney is just so grown up. Jessi is loving being able to get into the middle of everything. Laney was very into the grocery store today. Jess spent her time running from thing to thing...her survival instinct kicked in. Fight or flight, baby!!
