Food Treasures

The girls love to leave plastic food as little treasures in our bags, shoes, and suitcases. Plastic pasta, plastic taco's, plastic bagels. It's always cute to discover what the next treasure will be. Yesterday I got a text from Uncle Mike with a picture of what Amelia left in Muyly's purse. A real (non-plastic) atrophied carrot. Not as cute as a plastic carrot would have been!

Snow day

The girls finally got to use their sleds outside! Despite the mean mugs, they did seem to enjoy themselves.

The surprise continues.

After surprising Auntie in Boston on Saturday night, we had to say goodbye so she could get ready for her 8am flight the next morning. While eating breakfast at the hotel, we got a surprise of our own. A phone call from Auntie asking if we could come pick her up at the airport?!?! Apparently, an hour into her flight the captain announced they were losing cabin pressure and he needed the plane to turn around. So lucky for us, Auntie was able to join us at the Children's Museum that afternoon. We all had a really fun day!

Fun climbing up the rope ladder.

Fun crossing the wobbly bridge.

Fun learning our letters.

Fun learning Chinese symbols with Dad.

Fun climbing through tunnels.

Fun with bubbles.

Fun driving cars around and making our "car" sound.

Fun getting soaked in water tables.

Fun splashing in the puddles.

Not so fun sitting in the puddles.

Fun playing in the sand.

Even more fun putting sand down Aunties shirt.

Not so fun eating sand.

Haute Couture

Their first bedazzled shirt - they are in love!! There were lots of "oooohhh, whasdat" that night. Thanks AK!

A Surprise for Auntie

AK was away on business for three weeks in a row. One week in Paris followed by one night in Boston and then two weeks in Bermuda. That's the longest she's gone without seeing the girls! So as a surprise, we drove up to Boston to spend the night with her. She had no idea what we were up to and was completely surprised when two little girls knocked on her door.

Waiting for Auntie, will she ever get here?!?!

Reunited and it feels so good.

Happy Birthday Uncle Joe!

Guess how many years ago our Uncle Joe was born? THIRTY! That's a pretty big deal (just like him.) Our Uncle Joe was a little afraid of us when we were first born, but now he is a pro. He makes us laugh, gets us sweet pajamas, is very thoughtful, and knows the way to our hearts is through his work badge. Happy Birthday Uncle Joe, we hope that you have a wonderful day and even better 30th year!

We love you x2

A quick dip...

This is what happens when Mom thinks Dad is watching the girls, Dad thinks Mom is watching the girls, and the bathroom door is open. Gross.

Our mom doesn't always dress us the same.

Hand Made Valentine's

Okay, I am slightly obsessed with making crafts out of the girls handprints/footprints. Usually what happens is Karen, Derek, and I tackle the projects as a group so that it is 6 hands vs 4 hands. Since things have been a little nuts I decided to try it on my own. I was very proud of myself, I got both girls painted, pressed, bathed and into bed for a nap. And then I started cutting them out and realized I did both of their right hands and I needed one hand from each. Awesome. So after they woke up, I painted, pressed and bathed again... well this time instead of a real bath, they got a baby wipe bath!

Emma is the print on the left and Amelia is on the right.

We love lots of things...

In honor of Valentine's Day, yeah a week late, I thought we should make a post about everything we love. In no particular order:

- Balls, we point them out everywhere we see them.

- Our AK. Enough said!

- Jewelry, aka pretty.

- Reading books when Grandma Debi comes over to play.

- Putting our fingers up our nose.

- Watching sports with daddy, we point out the ball every time!

- Our bunny, we wake up each morning in search of it.

- When Uncle Mike zoom's us around the house.

- Taking baths... well except when Emma gets water on her face.

- Cooking on our kitchen and carrying plastic food with us everywhere.

- When Uncle Joe let's us play with his work badge.
