Teamwork, round two

Brandon texted me this picture today during my First Aid certification class, and I almost screamed with joy.

I was wrong and my kids are angels. (ha!) 

Haircuts

We've been trying to cut Amelia's hair for months. After many, many tears and a full size candy bar, we accomplished the impossible. We cut her hair.

Kate got her hair cut the day after Amelia. She hated it, too. 

I love it, of course. Brushing their hair is a million times easier with a trillion fewer tangles. Big props to Grandma Becky for "working" on her vacation. 

Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween this year! Amelia was very excited to wear her costume that I finished at 5:30pm tonight. 

The girls went as Curious George and The Man in the Yellow Hat. 

Rit dye and hot glue were my BFF's today. I had such a fun time putting this together. 

We kept tradition by doing the same route as last year and taking a selfie on the baseball field. 

Maybe I'll learn how to use my sewing machine in time for next Halloween, and make costumes for everyone! 

Mt. Hood!

We had such a fun getaway this weekend. I almost broke my hand, and the entire city lost power for hours on Saturday, but it was a good trip. :) 

Here's the view from our room. 

And our private deck! 

We had an adjoining room for the girls (with a kitchen), and let me tell you - it was heaven. 

The girls had fun and so did we. But, man, we're so happy to be home and back into our normal routine. And "normal" clothes. :) 

Amelia's art

I love the projects Amelia does at preschool. 

This week they're learning about African drumming, so they made their own drums. 

So fun, right?

Teamwork

So, I'm pretty sure that Amelia and Kate worked together to flush my nightguard down our toilet last week. 

I miss it. 

Baby Kate

Everything about baby Kate is big! Big eyes, big smile, big personality and big belly! And even though she's big, she'll always be "baby" Kate. 

I love that girl.
