Kitchen Remodel

We were excited to have Tyler and Matt from My Handy Mate at our house to remodel the kitchen. The project took 3 days, and the girls got in on the action.

Uncle Jim's Retirement Party

We celebrated Uncle Jim's retirement at All Occasions on Sunday. Congratulations to him! Retiring from corrections is extra special! During the surprise party, Kit wanted to know when we were going to sing :)

Doc's Phone

When Seth is over, part of the girls' bedtime routine is to take and look at pictures on his phone. They also high-five and pound the rock.

Pushing Babies to the School

Tuttle Mall & Build-a-Bear Workshop

On Tuesday, we went to Build-a-Bear Workshop at the Tuttle Mall to redeem gift certificates. It was the girls' first time at Build-a-Bear, and they loved the assortment of accessories for stuffed animals. They were so excited that they didn't grasp the concept of making their own stuffed animals. Kit picked a blue and purple bear and a dog house, and Winnie chose a puppy and dog bed.

Kit's Creations

Make It Monday: Tiny Globes

We made tiny globes with stickers and glitter. Winnie was let down that one of her stickers came loose.

Our Friend Caroline

Caroline is always excited to see the girls at church, and they are fond of her, too. The trio exchanges compliments on clothes and accessories. Kit and Winnie asked me to take this picture.

Make It Monday: Owl Masks

The theme at storytime was "flying" this week, and the kiddos decorated owl masks with markers and St. Patrick's Day stickers.

Dog Show

Scarlett and Amy came over on Monday afternoon, and the girls had fun dressing their stuffed dogs and holding competitive dog shows.

Saturday Roundup

On Saturday, Audrey, Brooklyn & Kim came for a visit, and the little girls kept busy playing "house" and dress-up. Later, Seth let the girls practice kicks and punches.

Kindergarten Meeting

Tonight Seth and I took Kit to the kindergarten meeting at Carlisle Elementary. We spent time in the kindergarten classrooms, library, and gym. Kit's friend Emma from preschool was there, too, and the girls hugged each other several times. To say that Kit was excited would be an understatement! She was still bubbling over when we left, and she just had to run home!

Make It Monday: Books

Today the girls made books using brown paper bags and pages from their new coloring books from Aunt Berchie. Winnie made a book for Santa, and Kit made a book about Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy.

The Newest Bible Carrier

Kit has been looking forward to the chance to serve as Bible carrier at church. Today was her first time carrying the good book at the start of the service. She was glowing!

Winnie's Tot Dance Class

Today Winnie finished up the winter session of tot dance at the Arts Castle. She likes all of the music, dancing with scarves, jumping on the trampoline, and getting her hand stamped at the end of class.

Kit is Learning to Read

With a little help, Kit can read "Lad and the Fat Cat" from the library. This book features a cat named Kit!

Winnie is 3 Feet Tall

Winnie has been checking her height at the ECC every time we take Kit to preschool. Today we found that she is 3 feet tall!

Kit's Eye Patch

Today the eye Dr. prescribed an eye patch for an hour a day to help strengthen Kit's left eye. Kit's helping me with this blog entry, and she says, "I like the eye patch, but it's itchy." We have a kid-friendly one on order!

Make It Monday: Shamrocks

Today the girls made shamrocks, and Winnie wrote her own "W."
