PICTURES!!!!

Ok so I promised pictures last time right? Here ya go!!!


We'll start as far back as Christmas......



The new train set the girls got for Christmas. We originally had it in the basement and then finally moved it into the loft. Bug's Christmas dress this year was soooooo pretty! And she even had red sparkly shoes to go with it!!



Bitty eating one of Bug's birthday cupcakes. Mmmmmmmm nothing beats the love of a cupcake!!!



Each kid in bug's class takes a turn to make play-doh. we were lucky enough to get to choose the color we wanted. Bug decided on yellow with LOTS of sparkles. (we used a WHOLE BOTTLE of sparkles....)

The first snowfall......



Bitty had this uncanny knack for imitating Ralphie's little brother. (From the movie "A Christmas Story") When she'd topple over she'd lay there like a slug......

Bug making a snow angel.

And then, the snow really began to fall. I think we had like a snowstorm at least once a week in the month of February.

Just a few random shots of the girls playing inside.


By the end of February this is what it looked like outside:

*note: I have "brightened" these pictures so you can really see them since they were taken at night.*

The snowpiles at the end of the driveway. Bug next to the snowpile. And, as you can see, it was still snowing when I snapped these.

Daddy helping Bug stand on the tallest snowpile. Bug and Daddy next to the snowpile.

Poor Bitty...she was a reluctant snowbunny.

*The previous post to this one is two shots of our street when it was completely done snowing.*

It's a good thing Bug looks so damned cute in these glasses. She's more than likely going to need real ones by the time she's in school. (David and I doomed BOTH the girls)

After a run in with the coffee table, Bitty wound up with a nice shiner.

Lately the girls have been playing with buttons. Bug likes to sift through them and pull out her favorites. She insisted that I take pictures of her favorite buttons. So, here they are.

Just a cute pic of Bug that same day. She's wearing one of my favorite shirts of hers.

These were taken yesterday at Inniswoods. It was 70 degrees out and partly sunny. We had a great time and saw lots of fun things; bullfrogs, bullfrog tadpoles, painted turtles, LOTS of squirrels, ducks, birds and a nesting pair of Cooper's Hawks.

A few rare moments of sisterly love. :)

Bitty making her mama proud. after snapping these two pictures Bitty came over and handed me two handfuls of pebbles. ahhhhh The love of rocks starts young. :)

Bug climbing the wooden treehouse ALL BY HERSELF!! Last time we went David had to help her up.

A favorite sight at Inniswoods is their albino squirrel. (And, more than likely, his/her offspring considering he/she/they have been there for many years now) Bug and I had a good giggle watching him as he buried under the leaves for that nut he's holding in the second picture. :)

After they got up from naps, David took them for a quick bike ride in the trailer before the rain settled in. When they got home they waited in the yard for DeeDee and by then it had cooled down enough they needed jackets. When they came inside Bitty didn't want to take her sweater off. So, here they are on the couch watching "Ponyo."

Here is the famous Library Bag that I crocheted. I made this for the girls to carry library books in. David however is refusing to "take that thing to the library" with him when he goes. I can sorta understand. It is a bit bright and rainbow-y and Girly. :) It's because of those reasons that I and the girls LOVE this bag. :)
