Easter

We had a super fun Easter this year. Our amazing neighbors did their annual Easter Egg Hunt, complete with Easter Bunny. A little bit of rain didn't stop anyone, it was a great time as usual. We got to have a sleep over with cousins which is always the best, and see my sister and her husband and another cousin who were driving through town, sadly moving waaaaaaaaaay far away. It was a very fun weekend, I can't wait to have my kids home for a week! Spring break coming up. Yahoo!!

Late Night

We have the coolest neighbors EVER!! To kick off spring break, we had a late night, complete with dancing, movies, popcorn, brownies, pillow fights, and an awesome hut! YAY!!!! no school for the rest of the week!! Bummer that it's going to snow on us, but all is well, we'll play hard inside.

haircuts

This is for my darling sister who does not think
1: I update my blog frequently enough
and
2: I'm ultra super mega cheap because I cut my kids hair

Both are true. I love you.

Broken

So, we weren't able to get through childhood with no broken bones. Little chicken got her hand shut in the truck door, and it's broken. She is so "put out" at having to have a pink cast and all. Our little middle girl is doing everything she can come up with to break something, and finally resorted to asking "When they cut your cast off, do you think I could wear it for a few days?"

Let's play Star Wars!

So, this is how little girls that don't have brothers play Star Wars.  They know about Star Wars, sort of, not really, but they know some of the names.  So here is how it went, more or less.

#1 Hey do you guys want to play star wars?

#2 I get to be the girl Yoda

#3 I wanted to be the girl Yoda

#2 You can be my little girl Yoda

#1 ok, and I'll be Princess Leah

#2 Princess Leah, will you tend my little girl Yoda?

#1 Sure, how old is she?

#2 I don't really know because it's hard to tell when she's kind of a monster, but she's probable 3 or something.  She doesn't have her own life saver yet.

#1 I have to go in my spaceship to a party, do you care if she comes?

#2 No, I'm going to girls night out with my friends, so just bring her back when your party is over.

#3 Hey, I don't want to be little, let's say that I'm a Preschool Teacher Yoda, and you guys can bring your pretend kids to me for preschool.

 

Later in the game

#3 Princess Jedi, (in her best British accent) the Dark Lord is here, what do I do??!!??

#2 Just punch him in the face, that's what I always do, and it works pretty well.

and so it goes.  I adore my little girls.

Disneyland 2009

With our dad's crazy work and school schedule, getting time in for a family vacation has been difficult. We finally threw together a whirlwind 3 day Disney trip. It was so fun! Our aunt and uncle came, and a couple of cousins, and we had a great time. It rained every day, and it was cold enough to see your breath, but we were prepared for it, we had the place to ourselves, and we ran like crazy for three days. Here are a few highlights. Not to be too vain or anything, but MY HAIR!!! Do I need to say again, IT RAINED EVERY DAY!!!! Short curly hair and rain are just a bad combination, especially when you only have about 6 peices to work with. Enough said.

Winter Dance Show

Our dance studio does a winter show for the families, at the studio. It's a chance for parents to come and see what we do during class, then we do a Nutcracker dance that we've practiced. Our dad came and took the best photos. Here are the littles classes.
