Just For Fun

One Saturday in March, it was sunny and quite pleasant. The girls decided to eat lunch on the deck. They didn't want to eat at the table, so they moved their chairs together. The fun thing was that Kate just thought she was so grown up, eating out there with Morgan and Rachael. She laughed and babbled with them and had such a great time, I just had to take a picture.

And the Winnder Is...

I really love St. Patrick's Day. I know it is one of the smaller, less significant holidays, but it is still so much fun. Many see it as an excuse to get plastered. As we abstain from alcoholic beverages, we celebrate in other ways. We wear green, eat green food, and even get a visit from the leprechaun who turns our milk green. It is quite fun. This year I purchased green shirts and made green hair bows for the girls. I was pretty excited to snap a picture for the old blog. The only problem was that only 2/3rds of the girls being photographed were in the mood to be photographed. It didn't help that we had to rush to get out the door to a dentist appointment before school...Kate was more interested in her toy phone than looking at the camera. Anyway, I couldn't find that one golden picture to post on the blog, so I thought I would let you choose.

#1
Naw. Kate is not even looking up...

#2
Definitely NOT. Kate is looking up this time... It does sort of look like I am torturing her though.

#3
Not so much... Looks like she still has not forgiven me for taking the previous picture.

#4
Just might be our best option. You can see that they are all in green and nobody is crying or giving the Stink Eye. What do you think?

Happy St. Patty's Day!

The Lip and Girl Power-Type Jammies

The Lip is a little trick that Morgan used to do when she was Kate's age. We would say, Hey Morgan, bring our lower lip over our upper lip, and then she would mimic us. It was really cute. We have a video of it somewhere...I just need to have Chris help me find it. Anyway, out of the blue, Kate just started doing The Lip. It was too funny. There has not been any rhyme or reason to when she will whip out The Lip. Sometimes she will just turn to us with the super cute lip face. Other times, we will try to get her to smile, and she will do The Lip instead. It makes me smile every time. On this particular occasion, I was trying to get her to smile, and out came the lip face.

The Bat-Girl jammies are one of her new favorite pairs of p.j.s to wear. Having all girls, we do not really get too into super heroes around here. I was shopping last week and these were on super-clearance at Old Navy. ($4! I had to get a pair because they were cheap and cute. I may or may not have purchased some pink Super-Girl jammies for the same price...in more than one size.) She LOVES these jammies. Obviously, she doesn't know about batman. (Morgan and Rachael do not even know about batman...) They are just so soft and comfortable. Furthermore, I think she likes the colors. Anyway, if she sees them in her bin of clothes or the dirty laundry basket, she brings them to me to put them on. *Chris also likes the baby pink and blue versions of the super heroes from his youth.*
