Beds

Did you know that the girls make their beds every morning as part of their chores?  

 It also involves much goofing around on Haley's part.

 OK, time to get serious.

 Extra time in the car today driving Stephie to school.  Gorking out on their phones.

Skating with Bobo

 The girls went to Center Ice to go skating today.  Time to bundle up!

Stephie is getting much better at skating independently.

 Hi Haley!!!

Crazy pajama party

 After some relatively tame crafts...

...it was time to go a little bit crazy.

 Holy mess.

 Time for lunch!

Even Haley needed to refuel.

Morning off

Teacher institute day!  Time for a busy playdate with Ayla.

Lader, Baby got a thorough check-up from Haley.

"Thanks, Mommy!"

Dress up friends

 While a bundled-up Bingo and Stephie played piano...

...Haley and one of her many baby dolls hung out.

 Time to play with dress-up dolls as well!

 Dance, Haley!

 Bingo loves her new purple dress!

Magnets

 First, a few belated V-Day pics.

Best card ever!

The boat in Stephie's piano piece says Gigi!

 JK had a special day where the DuPage Children's Museum brought an exhibit on magnets to school.

 Stephie painted with magnets...

 ...and of course built with Magna Tiles.

 The kids loved the fact that the Magna Tiles stuck to this iron pole.

Sweet and Sassy

First, Haley read some books.  A nice, intellectual activity.  UNLIKE...

...this.  Stephie went to her first birthday party at Sweet and Sassy.

 There was a lot of pink.  And glitter.  And pink glitter.

 Fancy nails, fancy hair, and fancy make-up.

 Lucky Haley joined in for pizza and cake!
