We spent some time at the park this afternoon with our lovely neighbors. The weather was a bit chilly but absolutely beautiful. There are even tulips coming up around the 'hood. But I was informed that the Farmers Almanac is calling for a dumping of snow the end of February. I guess we will just take advantage of this weather as long as we can.
Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from the weekend at my parents. It was nice to see Auntie Janet, Teagan and Lochlan we also visited with Aunt Pat, Uncle John and Amanda. As you can tell most of the weekend was spent visiting, playing and of course hanging sheetrock.
We spent the weekend at my parent's house helping drywall the bonus room. As you can tell Dad really appreciated the help. 
Ceci has this weird thing that she likes to do. She walks around with a little blanket saying BaBa. What this means is that she wants to be held like a baby and shushed. She really started this when she was sick last month. Now this might seem really sweet to all of you but in reality it makes my life really hard. The thing is Ceci will continue to scream and cry until she gets her way. So today I talked Sophie into holding her. It seemed to satisfy Ceci and made Soph feel good. 
I bought a couple of tubs at the grocery store yesterday. The girls are in love with them. They keep their toys in them, watch TV, eat snacks, store toys and so on. The girls are every bit in love with them as they were with the laundry baskets.
It was all fun and games until Sophie squirted poor Emily in the face with the hose.
Looking at the pictures from today all I can think of is the line from A Christmas Story, "Show me how the piggies eat." Wes had a craving for dessert tonight so we ended up making cupcakes.
Ceci loves her crib. She runs to corner where I can't reach her when she wakes up in the afternoon. She likes to play a little game of catch-me in her crib. It can get a little long for me. So I send in the reinforcements (Sophia) to help me talk her out of the corner.
And finally a moment of silence for Sophia's shoes. She blew them out playing with them this afternoon. They were well loved.
I broke out the Fiesta Tea Set yesterday. The girls loved playing with the real tea set. I've been saving it for them for a long time.
Sophia has decided to revisit her band-aid fetish. This time around she is teaching Ceci how to wear one. The last time Sophia had a thing about band-aids she wore one everyday for a couple of months. Good thing I'm all stocked up.
Still cold, still snow. We stayed inside today. I haven't even gotten the mail in a couple of days. We did talk our neighbors into coming over to play this afternoon. We were so excited to have the company. The girls and I can not wait for warmer weather. We need to get out!
Ceci had a hard night. She fell and got a fat lip and a bloody nose. Poor baby. 
Whatever! We've got about 8 inches at this point. Today was supposed to be Sophie's first movie on the big screen. We were so excited to go but decided it wasn't a good idea once we got started. When we got back home we shoveled the driveway to keep it under control this time. 
I know you are all groaning right now. That was a terrible lead in. "Plastics" class has now become pre-ballet/gymnastics. They get to wear the little tutu's and learn a few positions before going into gymnastics. It is the perfect class for her.
We had a whirlwind weekend down south. I'm finally feeling a little bit rested this morning. The girls and I did have a great time visiting with Auntie Megan, Uncle Jason and the boys! We stayed with Auntie Kimmie and Uncle Colby. Uncle Colby even watched the girls so Auntie Kimmie and Colby's Mom and I could go to the Seattle Wedding Show unhindered. He did such a good job wearing the girls out that they took 3 hour naps for him.
