Hand Made Spaceship – Why Do I Buy Toys??

ByKaren

We got a new toilet this weekend and the girls got a new toy… all in one.  NO They aren’t playing in the toilet but they ARE playing in the box that the toilet came in. Seriously these kids have enough toys to label them spoiled but yet they play with things that aren’t toys.  But when they saw this big box, they knew it could be turned into something fun…………………. like a Spaceship! They got their markers out and began decorating and writing on their Spaceship and as you can see from the picture above it’s called “SPACESHIP STAR”.  That is Holly’s handwriting! One the ship was complete it then became a hang out for the and several of their stuff animal friends and…

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. It snowed while they were visiting so the kids had fun playing in the snow together too.  It was a short but nice visit…

Back To School Time

ByKaren

“It’s the most wonderful time of the Year!!” Oh wait, that’s the holidays not back to school.  Bad Me.  LOL Yesterday was the first day of School and at a new school too!  They girls were very excited.  Especially Allison because she entered Kindergarten.  She’s finally in the same school as her sister.  She feels awesome! Holly started 2nd grade and was a little nervous and cried for a little bit before she went inside but she’s in the same class as our neighbor so that really helped her. She got over it pretty quickly in the end. We took a few pictures at the house first… And a YIPPEE Picture as well – though I’m thinking mom was more “YIPPEE” than the girls were….

Holly and David – The Love Birds

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.

My Surfer Girl and Swimmer Girl

ByKaren

I love these two girls! This is my surfer girl in one of her cute bikini’s….. it has zebra print on it – of course! And my swimmer girl who still dances even in the pool!  (please ignore the color of the water, it’s not really green it’s just the reflection from the bottom of the pool!  Looks horrible, I know!)
