Easter Morning

We had a wonderful, fun Easter morning. The girls loved the books they received from the Easter Bunny, and of course, started munching on candy right away.



The girls colored two dozen eggs this year, and found them all pretty quickly, but had a little trouble with the last egg. I thought this egg was pretty obvious, since it was on top of one of the pictures on the wall. I saw it as soon as we came down the stairs...a bright green orb hanging on the wall. Apparently, the girls are not as observant as their mother, because we had to give them hints for finding the last egg. All the girls received bubble necklaces in their buckets, but Izabella seemed to be the only one who could blow any. Although Olivia tried really hard, she pretty much just succeeded in spraying us all with spit.




As mentioned above, Olivia was quick to get some candy open. Monique wanted to eat her chocolate bunny, but I told her she had to wait until after breakfast. By the time breakfast was over, she had forgotten about it, but remembered again before dinner. At that point I told her she had to wait until dinner was over (I know I'm so mean) and she told me, "but you said I could have it after breakfast, and now you won't let me!" Luckily, she waited, and then managed to get a sick tummy.



Once all the festivities were over, Olivia and Monique went right to work coloring in their new books, and Izabella went right to work getting more sleep. It was a wonderful, relaxed morning.



HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Happy Birthday Olivia!

I can't believe how fast two years has gone by! My baby is already 2 years old. She loves Wall-E, (it was one of her first words -just from previews) so I made her a Wall-E birthday cake, and she received a stuffed Wall-E, and the movie. She also loves her new shopping cart, barbie, Littlest Pet, phone, magna-doodle, Dora and especially all the balloons. We invited a few of her friends to join us at this great place: Paradise Playground. They have all kinds of huge jumpy things, (what is the official name of those anyway?) and big slides. Olivia is not afraid of anything, and she had the time of her life. She even went down the HUGE slide all by herself. She is truly my little daredevil. She wanted to climb everything, and became very angry when she couldn't do it all by herself. She tried to play little hockey with Monique, but neither one of them could hit the puck. She climbed the rock wall, and even the grown-ups were able to get in on the action. At one point, she realized it was potty time, and instead of telling someone, she took her pants off inside a tunnel, and peed right there. Hurray for taking her pants off, but unfortunately she didn't move them out of the way and they were sopping wet. Luckily we had a rogue diaper in the van, and she was able to finish her play time, eat pizza and cake, and open her presents. We had a fantastic time, and I think she had a great birthday.

Olivia's New Look!

So, Monique decided play beauty parlor, and this is the result.
(I can't believe Olivia just sat there and let her do it!)


As I was taking these pictures, Monique smiled and asked, "Did I do a good job?"



This is her best mohawk, "Mr. T" impression she could do.



And a close up of the back. It was a sad, sad day!




The final result. I took her into the salon in a hat. When I pulled the hat off, every woman in the place had many words of sympathy for me. In the back, she still has many bald spots. I just try to make her look as much like a girl as possible. The only thing that saved her hair on top was that she already had a pony-tail in. Otherwise, I think she would be totally bald at this point! Kirk started calling her Oliver...but he had to stop. I don't want her to get a complex or anything. I told Monique if she ever did it again, I would give her the same haircut!

VALENTINE'S DAY!

Izabella and Monique were so excited for their school Valentine's day parties. They wanted to dress in red and pink, and be so cute. Izabella had heart leggings, a heart shirt, and a skirt with heart pockets! Monique had her red sweater and red tights with her black "Santa" boots. Olivia didn't want to be left out of the picture taking, so we had to take some pictures of her too!

Just Chillin'

I love it when the girls play so well together. Olivia just wants to be with her sisters, so she relishes any time with them. I don't know what they were watching...but they are content. Ah the peace that comes with content children!

The Cupboard at the Top of the Stairs?

I promise I have given my children beds. You can come check! They insist on sleeping in strange places. Imagine opening your linen closet and finding 3 girls! Could be exciting. Actually, they were trying to avoid going to their real beds.
