Almost Famous.

Last week the girls and I stopped by the library on the way home.  As it turns out they were just starting an afternoon art class, so we decided to jump in.  The girls were the only ones in attendance.  The three of us along with the two teachers had a great time coloring and listening to the girls' stories from the day.  At the end of the class, one of the teachers asked the girls if he could hang their pictures in the library.  After much deliberation (they did not necessarily want to part with their new creations), they decided he could hang their art up.  They are very excited to be "famous" and cannot wait to take Dad to the library so he can see their projects.  Here are the girls watching the pictures being hung.  Notice Kendall has her hands on her hips.  Yes, she has officially entered the bossy stage.

Sweet and Sassy!

Those are the perfect words to describe Sidney right now. She is quite the character as she finds her independence. 

Gotta love the green nail polish.  The other day I let her choose two new colors for herself and two new colors for Kendall.  She picked blue, green, purple and pink.  Go figure!

She is such a beautiful little girl.  Everything about her is so full of life right now.  It is contagious!

So much to catch up on!

WooHoo we finally got our computer back.  I have a whole list of stories to catch up on, but where to start?  We last left off with the Bachelor, but before that Kevin had returned home from New Orleans with a suitcase full of Mardi Gras beads.  Of course he claims that he just found them laying on the ground.  Sure!  The girls had fun modeling them.  Then they each took a bagful to school to share with their friends.

Then there was Valentine's Day.  We decided to use our new candy molds to make chocolates for the girl's friends.  The girls decorated tags and stuffed the bags.  They each had about 30 treats to hand out, so it was a good thing we had started early. 

Kevin and I are debating about whether we should up our health insurance as Kendall has the grace of her Aunt Stephanie.  In the last week I have received three phone calls from the pre-school.  First she split her lip open.  She claims that she was on top of the slide and one of the boys was showing off his karate kicks and landed one right on her face.  Kendall tells me that she just started sliding down the slide and saw her teacher running over.  Her quote, "I didn't even know I was bleeding, but it tasted kind of good."  My response was "Do not tell anyone that, Vampire Girl."  The second call was when she ran into another girl in the ball pit.  She had a goose egg the size of a baseball for a week or so.  The third incident happened while I was picking her up.  She was crawling out from under the play set and knocked herself silly on one of the metal rails. 

Kevin took Kendall to register for Kindergarten last week.  Where has the time gone?  Apparently they get tested at registration.  Kendall was smart as a whip.  One of the things she needs to learn is to tie her shoes (which she has already mastered within the past two days) and she could only count to 12.  Kevin and I both found this very strange since she counted to 130 last night.  Stage fright perhaps?

In Sidney news, she is still quite the character.  We received some hand me downs from Hannah and in the bag was a tank top and knit shorts.  She has dubbed these her "exercise outfit" and puts them on every morning to do yoga with me.  I must say she has mastered the downward dog.  It  must be the new tank top!

Kevin typically drops the girls off at school.  The last couple of weeks, Sidney has been going through a clinging phase.  Kevin has been telling her each day as they go into the school, "Sid I am not playing this game with you today."  So last Friday when he dropped her off, she turned to him and said, "Daddy I am not playing this game with you today."  Then she turned around and walked off.  I guess she told him.
