Sonshine school pics are in....

...and my babies are growing up too fast!

Yummy!

The girls got a couple mini powdered donuts this morning. Piper made glasses of out them before she ate them.


Look at Piper discovering herself in the mirror in the background.

flowers and cheese

We have a rose bush blooming in our front yard. I picked one for Brenna's hair while we were out playing. Then Daddy got one for Piper.


They were happy girls. Clearly.

My day!

Yesterday when I got home from work, I found that my sweet four year old wanted to have a party for me. Simply because I am the best Mom in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!

There were balloons and cookies and a homemade card!! Oh, and games. Games of finding where Brenna hid the balloons.

I really think Bren just wanted balloons and cookies and to do a craft, but I'm just going to run with her excuse.

I do love my family!!

Next show..."The Singing Bee"

This is from "Music Idol"; a Bulgarian version of "American Idol".

Oh yeah, Mom, I cut my hair.

Jaye, this one is for you...

"For God so loved the world, He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16"

We love Spring

Sisters and hormones (yes, even this young)

OK, I just have to admit my girls are driving me nuts today.
The back ground info that may or may not be relevant is that Piper was sick over the weekend. She threw up off and on Friday through Sunday. Josh was with them on Monday and declared Piper "well" because all the energy she didn't use up during the weekend was coming out in full force. AND HASN'T STOPPED SINCE!

Today, Piper is SO emotional (I know, I know, she gets it straight from me). She has has about 4 total meltdowns this morning; and that was before we ever left the house. Which didn't make me too excited to leave the house. When we got the shop, she perked right up. And now she is WOUND up!!! She and Brenna are chasing each other around here giggling and squealing. They got some books so I thought they were going to sit quietly and read. HA! They wanted the same book, of course, but Piper had it first. I told B she could have when P was finished. B got distracted with another book and then realized that P was no longer looking at the book she wanted. B couldn't find it so she asked me if I knew where it was. I told her to look under the couch or the table. B hopped up and started looking around. Piper started giggling. This got my full attention. B was looking everywhere and P giggled more and more, while pretending to read a book. Exasperated, B says "Piper, WHERE is the Kipper book???" Piper laughs out loud and moves her leg over to reveal she is sitting on the book!!

I just keep thinking that if this "little sister" stuff has already started... Miss B is in BIG trouble!!! Aren't we all!!!

Time for an update...this is all I got

We took the girls to see Sesame Street last month (Thanks, Angela). They equally had a great time, but they handled it in very different ways. Brenna sat on my lap the entire time, mostly with her head against my chest. She sang and clapped and enjoyed her favorite characters, from the safety of my lap.

Piper loved every second of it. She stood in the chair the entire time squealing and laughing every time she saw a new character. She clapped and sang along at the top her lungs. It was wonderful.
Until it was time to say "Goodbye" to Elmo. Piper cried and reached for the stage for at least ten minutes crying for Elmo. It was heartbreaking (and a little bit funny to this sadistic mother).

(If you click on this picture you see the tears running down her face.)
