Day 9 - Can't. Stop. Singing...

So thanks to a certain friends blog... you know who you are!!!... I can't seem to get this song out of my head!  Been singing it all day.  Finally made Mike download it and played it after dinner on his iTouch docking station.  It is only a small coincidence that I caught the picture while it said "SLEEP"... as I did that today too! ;)  I even did some laundry today as well... more small coincidences. :)

P.S.  I think I have to add it to my blog music too... hope you don't mind T. :)

Day 8 - A Different Kind of Dinner

Mike and I decided to make dinner a little fun for the girls tonight.  Instead of giving them forks/spoons we had a "utensil supper".  I remember them from when I was a kids and have very fond memories... lots of laughs.  Well... have to say, our table tonight wasn't much different.  Haley managed her entire meal, but Paige needed a spoon eventually. ;)  Oh... and parents were included too of course!

This is Paige trying to figure out how she is going to eat rice with a wooden spoon.

This is the girls being fairly successful. ;)

And of course Daddy wasn't left out! :)

Day 7 - Zambi the Most Well Groomed Elephant

This was Haley's gift from Santa this year.  It is a FurReal Baby African Elephant named Zambi.  It makes all kinds of "real" noises (that kind of sound like Chewbacca!) and moves it's trunk and stuff.  She loves the thing!

Today in her class the girls were allowed to bring in something they got for Christmas (the boys are tomorrow in case you are wondering) and this is what Haley brought.  However, she spent most of the morning with her elephant Brush (just a normal little brush that can now ONLY be used for Zambi!) and groomed her to go to school.  She fed it breakfast and was looking for something for her to wear when I finally dragged them BOTH out the door so we weren't late.

I think Santa did will with this gift wouldn't you say??

Day 6 - Just hanging out...

A very busy day for us!  I had to get blood taken this morning and Haley and I had an eye appointment this afternoon... her VERY first!  She did awesome and neither of us need glasses at this point.  YAY!  She really enjoyed the 3D glasses and capturing the bugs!  LOL

It was an eventful night at work tonight.  This is what we found hanging from the ceiling.  It reallly didn't want to leave it's comfy place of sleep and it took a few tries to capture it. 

Although I really HATE the things... it WAS kinda cute. :)

Day 5 - My birthday gift revealed

When I woke this morning, Haley was so excited to show me my birthday gift was finally ready and she had put them up on the window.  She made them herself and they are perfect!

Day 4 - Back to reality

Much needed routines start again today.  Of course I could do without the whole going back to work thing. ;)

Day 3 - Winter Wonderland

I can't believe how much snow we have gotten!  It has been snowing solid for days!

Sarah, Emily and Claire came over today for our gift exchange and the girls played in the snow.  Haley and Claire had a GREAT time building and playing in their snowfort.
