Waffles and Spring???

We had our regular waffles for breakfast, and I had LOTS of help too!



It was so warm in the afternoon, that the girls got to play outside in the playhouse.  They really wanted in the sandbox, but I didn't want the mess.  They liked getting out the kitchen toys, and playing with their flowers.  It was nice to have a day that was sunny enough, without wind, to play outside!


Hugs and Kisses Story Time

Library was fun this week, we read stories all about hugs and kisses and LOVE!
The activity was making a bear bookmark, and the girls sure loved making them!

Ice Skating Final Lesson

It was sad to have our final lesson this week, since the girls are getting to enjoy lessons.  Today they got to try hockey, which I was a bit concerned about, but in the end turned out to be great!

Groundhog Day and Chinese New Year

The last two days have been fun for the kids.  Yesterday they made groundhogs that pop out of their burrow!  We are so very glad that the groundhog did NOT see his shadow (even if our local one here did).  Today in celebration of the Chinese New Year, they made dragon masks!  Very exciting.

Ice Skating Week 4

This was the 4th of our ice skating lessons.  The girls are getting to be pretty comfortable on their skates and the ice.  This week, Selena was able to do most of her skating without holding hands, and Abby was able to stand to the side and skate a bit without being held up!  Great job girls. 

Mommy and Me Geography: First Postcard Delivered

Today we woke up to an email saying that our first postcard we mailed has arrived in The Netherlands!! Hurray!

Frogs!

Story time this week was all about frogs.  The little green hopping guys!
For activities, the girls chose the lacing beads and straws.  There are some pretty neat things they can make out of the straws, I think Selena's building looks like a windmill/watermill building.
