Mother's Day

A week overdue but better late than never, huh?! The girls both had a Mother's Day celebration in their classrooms on the Friday before Mother's Day. Maggie's class had muffins and juice and sang songs. Not one kid sang with the teachers so Miss Alma and Miss Veronica decided to call it quits after just two songs! And I don't have any pictures because Maggie stood in between my legs the entire time. Let's just say that Miss Alma and Miss Veronica had their hands full with 10 crying kiddos when the mommies left the room!

Kate's class served muffins, juice and coffee and they also sang two songs. The difference is that the 3 year olds gladly participated. Below are the two videos of their sweet Mother's Day songs. Kate had been practicing for a while and she did a great job!

On Sunday we celebrated with me by going to church and trying a new restaurant that was yummy. The girls must have been on their best behavior because they both came home and took 3 hour naps...happy Mother's Day indeed!

1st Visit to the Dentist

We have a really great dental office for the girls and Maggie had her first appointment on Monday. While Kate was having her 6 month cleaning, Maggie was meeting Dr. Fox and letting her see her pearly whites. She wasn't a terrible patient but she wasn't the most cooperative patient either. She ended up on my lap with her head in Dr. Fox's lap. She was still long enough to have her teeth counted, pictures taken, and fluoride "painted on" so it was a successful first visit.

And on a side note...Kate had a great check-up. No cavities but we do have to work on the thumb sucking which she is none too pleased about!

A Sure Sign of Summer

The ice cream truck has been driving down our street on a very regular basis. Kate gets so excited when she hears the music but unfortunately he always passes our house right during the middle of dinner. The worst part for Kate is that we sit in our dining room for dinner and we have a big window that looks right out onto the street so she has to watch him pass by night after night. Well, last night her luck changed! We hadn't sat down to eat yet and so Kate and daddy frantically ran down the street, chasing his truck to stop him (with me bringing up the rear with the money!). She was so excited to finish up with dinner and enjoy her Bomb Pop and even though Maggie had no idea what she was in store for, she loved her popsicle too! Summer is obviously right around the corner!

A Face Only a Mommy Could Love

Maggie enjoyed her Senor Tequila dinner which mostly consisted of the cheese dip that she scraped completely dry. Needless to say, she didn't make a peep at dinner!

Spring Has Sprung (finally!)

We love to see the tulips come up at Woodward and just have to get some pictures taken with them each year...happy spring!

Sweet and Sassy

Each time we go visit Mimi and PopPop, the girls' special treat is to get a service at Sweet and Sassy. Maggie needed another haircut and Kate opted for a pedicure.

Maggie didn't fuss a bit this time and even let Miss Sam blow dry and curl her hair and Kate loved having her legs rubbed, which she said "tickled" and she chose blue for her polish. They were all gussied up and ready for Easter!

She doesn't look it, but she loved her sparkly

hair and fancy curls!
