Mooserific!

We enjoyed a prelude to spring today with a nice walk around the cul-de-sac at Auntie Mel’s house. We had a fun first too. The babies very happily did their own walking!

Just my style

We passed a classic 1950’s powder blue Chevy on the highway. I thought to myself that I would never want an old car like that. When Abby saw the car, she said “I love that! It’s just my style!” Kids are so funny!

Princess Abby and her adoring fans.

Gwen and Josie had a blast mastering the art of drinking small amounts of water from a regular cup tonight. Saying “more water please” was pushing it a bit too far, but Josie did smile and say “more” multiple times. Yay!

Woo-hoo 61 degrees today! It was a great day for a much-needed walk!

While Gwen slept, Josie once again got to try something new with Abby.

The girls engage in some hilarious antics when they think no one is watching.

A surprise storytime guest!

We all played in the snow today! The girls enjoyed sledding with their Papa. Gwen didn’t care for the snow quite as much as Josie and Abby. After her first forward fall, she decided it made good sense to stay mostly in one place. Josie attempted to wander around in the deep snow and wasn’t bothered by her many snowy faces. Abby enjoyed climbing on the huge snow piles, making snow angels, and sledding. Big girls can have all the fun.

If you give a baby a bowl and spoon, she’ll eat mashed potatoes.

Josie’s first snow adventure, and her first time in big girl boots and a snowsuit! She did surprisingly well with all three!

While Gwen took a long nap this morning, Josie enjoyed her first time frolicking in the snow with her big sister.

Did you know that princesses love Jenga? She did really well!

A story from another snowy day: We were all playing with toy cars and trucks in the hallway. I sent the ice cream truck zooming down to Abby and told her that I was sending her some ice cream. Josie thought that sounded like a great idea and ran to the kitchen where she started pounding on the freezer door. We didn’t have any ice cream, but I gave them all popsicles instead. The girls loved them. It almost felt like summer. When Abby finished hers, she tossed her wrapper in the trash and said “that hit the spot.” She then walked away saying “this is the life.” So true!

Fifteen months old today and already budding artists. If only someone would take the tops off the markers.
