Valentine's mail boxes

The girls decorated some FANCY mail boxes for Valentine's Day.

"How is the mail man going to know our mail boxes are inside?"

An old friend

After playing with blocks...

 ...the girls met up with an old friend...Noah!

 Looks like he likes Zingo too.

 Still good friends after all these years.

Elmo's birthday

Elmo visited Learning Express for his birthday!  The girls decided her was 3, or 5, depending on who you talked to.

Last night we had Mary, Sean, and Owen over for dinner.  Stephie carefully labelled what was off limits in the basement "to keep the other kids safe."

Goofing in the basement

 Not our basement, Ayla's basement!  Lots of new toys to explore.

 Hey, we have that dome too!

 Smoothie break!

 Cupcake break...even better.

 HALEY! Where are your clothes?!?

Bathroom cups

 First, Stephie attended a very fancy mermaid party, complete with tails.

Twinsies!

 Stephie broke her bathroom cup which prompted a visit to a pottery studio to make a new one.

 Haley made a dinosaur cup too.

Gymnastics for all

Stephie crashed Haley's gymnastics class and had a great time on the equipment.

Sisterly love!

Polish pajama party

Baby it's cold outside!  Great day for inside play.

Uh oh, there's those phones again!  Wonder who Stephie is texting now...

Mommy and Daddy had to go to Stephie's parent-teacher conference, so the girls had a special pajama party with Bobo and Chad complete with 3 kinds of pierogi!

For reasons we do not understand, Haley likes mushroom pierogi the best.  Actual mushrooms, not so much.

After dinner there was plenty of time for playing before Mommy and Daddy got home.
