Bob and Melissa’s Visit Over Winter Break

ByKaren

Our friends Bob and Melissa have added to their family over the past year.  They welcomed a Foster Daughter into their home that happens to be the same age as Holly and Melissa delivered baby Lauren in June to make them a family of 4!

Over the Christmas break they drove up from PA to visit for a few days with us.  This was the second time we met the girls and Holly and Allison were very excited to have Trinity over to play with their toys and have a sleep over.

The girls got along great and became fast friends.

Bob and Melissa

It snowed while they were visiting so the kids had fun playing in the snow together too.  It was a short but nice visit with the Laffen family and we look forward to seeing them all again hopefully soon!

Day Five of Spring Break School Vacation {Birthday Party}

ByKaren

Today was day 5 of the girl’s spring break and the last day (not counting the weekend).   To end the week we had a birthday party for Allison at AC Moore.  She had her party there last year and loved it so much she asked to go there again.  I don’t mind because not only is it affordable, but the staff is great and she can pick her own craft. Before we began, she had them write their name on the table (which was covered with kraft paper) and also to draw a picture.   A lot of her friends drew pictures of zebras which I thought was adorable! Finally it was time to start the craft.  She choose to make a parachord bracelet but I…

Holly and David – The Love Birds

ByKaren

A cute picture of the Love Birds.  They are so funny because they absolutely adore each other but yet while David was visiting the other day, I had to keep reminding Holly to play with him!  It was funny. Whenever we mention David’s name, Holly’s face lights up.  Can you tell by the look in her eye’s in this picture?  It’ll be funny to see if they feel the same way as they get older.

Cowgirl Boots are COOL when you are 7

ByKaren

  Cowgirl boots are cool when you are 7 and 37.  But this 7 year old recently discovered just how cool they are!  Holly received the above pink cowgirl boots a few years ago from a friend – they were a hand me down.  They didn’t fit her and pretty much were pushed to the back of her closet.  One weekend I cleaned our her closet and they resurfaced again and………… she hasn’t taken them off since. This picture was taking on her 7th birthday and the bus driver thought she got these boots for her birthday.  I explained that they were old and had been ‘rediscovered’ after some cleaning. Holly wanted to wear them to school but I said ‘No, your feet will hurt…

Mystic Aquarium

ByKaren

This weekend we visited Mystic Aquarium. We received free press passes, I just have to blog about our trip. Easy enough considering it saved us over $100!! Yup you read that right, had we paid for all four of us it would of cost us over $100. $28 per adult and $20 per child 3 and over so we would of had to pay for Allison too. Plus they charged $3.00 to go on the Voyage adventure (Holly and I went) and then $3.00 each for us to feed the birds (we got 3 sticks of food). Total = $111 for 3 hours. Steve would of never paid it, I said we would of because the girls enjoyed it, but I’m glad we didn’t! lol…

A Blonde Zebra???

ByKaren

Have you ever seen a blonde Zebra?  I have. Of course I have. No, I’m not crazy.  I just live in a house full of Zebras so of course I’ll see weird things happening with those Zebras.   Put a Zebra, a 4 year old and Repunzel together and guess what you get? A blonde zebra……………… See I told you!

Boxes and more Boxes……….

ByKaren

We still have boxes.  It’s been almost 2 months but the girls rooms still have boxes in them.  IT doesn’t look like this anymore..  (Allison popped up from behind a box when I snapped the picture!) ….but the boxes in the back corner that you see in that picture are still not unpacked.  The problem is they are full of toys – toys that they probably don’t need since they haven’t played with them in like 3 months considering they were packed up before we moved. Why do they have so many toys?  Because I can’t resist myself.  I see something they will like and I find a way to get it.   In my defense, a lot of the toys are for review on the…
