A few pictures from Easter Eve

We have been blessed to have Grandma here with us this Easter and have LOVED spending time with her!

The Easter Bunny was VERY good to us this year!

... even though the girls set THREE (yes, 3) traps trying to catch him!

Melissa's trap consisted of a network of kitchen items and string set up to flip over and entangle him. Kayla's trap consisted of pipe cleaners, tape and carrots. The carrots were to tempt him into the box and his feet and body would then get mixed up with the pipe cleaners and trap him!

Abbie and Daddy set a basic trap with carrots as the bait. Great idea!

Kayla could hardly contain her excitement upon seeing the Easter baskets! She screamed and started jumping up and down! Teehee.. cute girl!

Abbie showing us her loot!

Melissa rockin' her Easter grass.

We had so much fun decorating eggs this year!

Happy Easter!

Fun with Dr. Seuss

We had so much fun celebrating Dr. Seuss' Birthday last month.

We made The Cat in the Hat "Thinking Hats" and wore them for most of the day.

For snack we had Cat in the Hat dessert. Yum-O!

Abbie's Thinking Hat helped her draw very pretty pictures:

Fun With Daddy-O

I knew the world wouldn't be complete without the following two pictures out there...

We have dance parties most nights when Daddy-O gets home. Rock it, baby!

T-Ball, Coach Pitch

Kayla started T-Ball and Melissa moved up to Coach Pitch this year! The girls are very athletic and really enjoy playing softball. Kayla is a really FAST runner and Melissa hits EVERY good pitch that comes at her. We are so blessed to have such talented girls!

Melissa gearing up to be the catcher.

Kayla waiting patiently to have a go at hitting. Daddy and Abbie LOVE going on nature walks while Melissa and Kayla play.

I am so proud of my babies!

First Lost Tooth!

Kayla Brooke FINALLY lost her first tooth last week. She has been working on getting it out for weeks and weeks and weeks, as she puts it, and last Thursday, it was finally loose enough for Mommy to pull out. She didn't flinch and was SO excited to finally have it in her hand.

Look at that perfect little thing!

The Tooth Fairy was VERY good to her and brought her $5!!

Bubble Baths

Abbie LOOOOVES Bubble Baths! She begs for them every single night. They usually end up looking something like this:

Fairy Gardens

It has been far too long since I have blogged anything about our sweet little family, so I thought I would post pictures from our Sunday afternoon project. The girls are obsessed with fairies right now, and decided it would be a good idea to make a fairy garden for the fairies to visit while they were at our house. With careful planning and lots of imagination, Melissa and Kayla made beautiful, welcoming fairy gardens. Enjoy the photos!
