Singing Girls

This weekend, while working on crafts in the morning, I caught the girls singing together this lovely made up song, although its really not made up. Can you guess where they adapted it from? Its there own personal version of Deck the Halls! Song writers already, making it their own!

Snow Castles

Today, instead of making sand castles, we made snow castles! The snow here is mostly ice, so it compacts pretty well. Its been nice 50 degree weather so the snow has been melting. The kids had fun playing with their sand toys in the snow. Its nice when toys play double duty.

Baby Names

Taylin has been spending a lot of time lately on thinking of baby names for our little one that is that is on the way. She has taken it upon herself to make it her job. Here are some of her latest names:

Rachel

Dianne

Julienne

Angelina

Ben

Can you tell which sex she is hoping for?

Big Girl

We finally got Rayna a new carseat today, a booster seat! She is very excited and has been wanting one like sissies' for a long time. We had told she could get one after Christmas and she definetly remembered that promise! The thing is, I think I'm just as excited as she is! The idea of the ease of taking the carseat in and out, and the less room it takes up, just thrills me! Although, eventually that extra room will be gone by the third carseat that will soon be there. Oh well, for now I'm excited!

ICE CREAM!!!

It's amazing at how a big scoop of ice cream can put smiles on faces! Not to mention the power it has over finishing dinner! Another fact Daniel and I are puzzled about, how is it that it can take Taylin an hour, and sometimes longer, to finish her dinner, but when it comes to ice cream its gone in a matter of minutes! As Taylin told us tonight, "It makes my body feel yummy all over!" Well, there you have it.

Best Buds

The other day I was watching my friends' children, Hannah and Isaac. It just so happens that sometimes this can make my day easier because everyone is more entertained. Today I rarely saw Rayna and Isaac unless they were running by playing make believe animals of some sort. They really are the best of buds, and even by the end of the night they were still the best of buds.

All Decked Out!

Here's Taylin with some of her new Dora attire. The hat not only stayed on for this picture, but the whole day and then some. She was very proud strutting her stuff!
