A day at the park.

A couple of weeks ago we met our friends at the park. The girls still talk about how much fun they had. Quinn surprised me by walking up the stairs and going down the slide without any fear. By the end of the day she was going down on her tummy. The kids enjoyed playing in the rocks the most. (Who makes a park with little rocks!) I am pretty sure every child ended up in time out at least once for throwing rocks. Quinn ended up there twice, little stinker.

Too cool!

The things they say.

While we were getting ready to go to the park the girls were on their step stools in the bathroom in front of the mirror. They were waiting to get their hair fixed and were brushing their teeth. While I was fixing Quinn's hair Claire suddenly jumped off her step and headed toward the potty. When she realized the step wasn't in front of the potty, she had just hopped off of it in front of the mirror, she looked up at me with panic in her eyes. She had waited till the last minute to go and she was worried that she didn't have time to move the step over. So I rushed into action but as I did I said "Dear God, please don't pee pee your panties!" Normally I do not talk this way but she was fully dressed and we were running late. I did not want to have to change clothes and clean up a mess. Excuses, I know. Anyway, we made it in time...in case you were wondering. Once everything was fine I went back to fixing Quinn's hair but not before Claire said "Mommy, you said dear God please don't pee pee your panties." "Yes, I did say that." "But mommy, I am not God I am Claire." She was absolutely right.

Even Princess Fairies ride bikes and play outside.

Fairy Princesses

The girls wanted to make fairy wings and dress up like princesses so that is just what we did. They colored and glittered their wings yesterday and then we finished them today. Since it was a beautiful day we went outside to play. We spent most of the morning outside soaking in the sunshine and getting some fresh air. I love spring! I took a ton of pictures and had a hard time editing down.

Happy Birthday Quinn!

It's hard to believe that Quinn is 2! We started her birthday day off with a well check visit to the doctor. I was afraid she would be getting shots on her birthday but luckily she didn't need them this time. The doctor was impressed with how much she talked and behaved and how polite the girls were. I was very proud. She weighs 25 lbs 10 oz (37%) and is 35 3/4" tall. (92%) She is healthy and happy and that makes me very happy and thankful.

We had Quinn's birthday party on Friday night with just the 4 of us. It started out with going to Mazzio's for pizza (Quinn's choice for her birthday dinner), presents and then Cinderella cake. She got a pink Little Tykes basketball goal, a princess tent, a blanket that matches her bed set, and the Tangled movie. We played basketball for a while then had movie night. It was a wonderful day and I am so blessed to have her in my life. Let the terrific two's begin!

I love that her tongue is hanging out.

Tent time.

They thought their blue mouths were so cool.

Quinn shared Claire's tricycle all last summer. She got her very own for her birthday from Grandma and Papa. We had to ride it the next day after getting home from Enid, thankfully it was nice out. I think we may have had to let her ride it rain or shine. She couldn't wait to get on it! Thank you to Grandma and Papa!! It was a big hit and she asks to go outside everyday since getting it. This summer is going to be so fun with both the girls on their own bikes.
