No new snow this week, but it was warm enough to get out and enjoy what we already have. Lily loves pulling Annie around in our little sled. The girls thought it would be fun to pretend they were jumping on the trampoline so they played in the empty frame for a long time. Silly kids.
The roads cleared off so we could finally take our Christmas bikes out for a ride. Lily did awesome with her bicycle's maiden voyage. Annie surprised all of us with her ability to reach the pedals and get herself going. She is highly motivated to keep up with Lily. The only problem we had on our ride was a tiny neighborhood dog that came out to greet Lily. She had quite a scare and started pedaling like a bat out of "you know where". We had to cut the ride short because Lily was crying so hard.
Annie gets some great bedhead, but this one was so funny I had to get a photo.
Here's Lily in dance class. She is really coming along. It is great to see some progress. She is also excelling with gymnastics. Her coach wants to move her up to the next class, but Mommy is not sure about that yet since Lily will only be four and all the other girls will be five or six.
In January Mommy started a cleaning rotation for the house. Bedrooms on Mondays, Kitchen on Tuesdays, Living Room and Basement on Wednesdays, Bathrooms on Thursdays, Errands on Fridays, Laundry on Saturdays. It has worked very well and keeps us all from running around on Saturdays trying to clean the house. Lily likes to help Mommy. Her favorite jobs are: making her bed every morning all by herself, and helping Mommy with the bathrooms.
Annie has a new favorite television show. It is called "Bo on the Go!". Mommy loves how active the show is. The girls watch the whole thing standing up so they'll be ready for the next action Bo asks them to do. If you have a toddler at home, we recommend trying out this show.
We made valentines for the grandparents this week. I won't show the final product since they are in the mail, but the process involved finger painting with our feet. Thank goodness we have an unfinished basement because it was a messy project! We have lots of little red footprints on the floor.
Our silly girls!
Saturday morning Annie woke up with a stuffy nose. She didn't like that it was running so much so she found a toy stethoscope and used it to plug her nose. I thought it was so funny. She liked getting a laugh out of us.
Daddy took Lily on a daddy-daughter-date Saturday. Lily was so excited. She picked out a special outfit and headband and spent a lot of time on her hair. It is such a blessing to have a Daddy who will spend time with his girls. Thanks for loving all of us Daddy!
