we have had some fun days lately...here's some highlights:
when lynn was here we did "fun friday" every friday, home made pizza and playing....when they left, i had to keep the tradition going...i told the girls they could each pick a friend to have over on friday after school till 7pm. we have had so much fun doing this and the girls look forward to it all week! we make home made pizza and i let each girl either make a pizza or a calzone. most of the girls that have come over have never done it before so they love it! a couple weeks ago we had a couple girls from their cheer squad over. it was fun to have brand new friends over the house! and its made cheer more fun for the girls to feel like they have lots of best friends on the squad!
favorite things to do are usually nails, make up, and dancing!

the monday after new years, tom had off. when ever he has off, he takes the girls out to breakfast. they love their date with daddy.
we got out monopoly and played most of the day!

we got a few games from grandma for xmas too, mouse trap and the squinkies game. it is so fun to have kids old enough to play games. we play a game pretty much everyday and have a pretty fun collection of games now!

a couple saturdays ago we took pepper to a dog park. the girls were thrilled! i was scared to death being around all the big dogs. so was pepper. she didn't move from under my legs or off my lap. but someone brought a litter of 7 wk old , german sheperds, 8 of them. kiki was in heaven with them crawling all over her! i was grossed out, i'm really not a dog person, but she was so happy , i kept a fake smile on the whole time.

i turned the extra room in our house into a mini house for the girls. i put all their new baby stuff from xmas in it, cribs, high chairs, a little table, with their tea set from grandma, their kitchen, strollers, ect. the girls love it and love to be little mama's in their little "house". everytime i walk by the room it makes me happy to think about what a dream life the girls have. i have the happiest memories from my childhood and thats what i'm trying to make for my girls too!

shreya had a girls night on saturday. the girls had so much fun. dinner, made snow globes, and painted and played! it was an awesome "late-over"!

cheer is turing out to be sooo fun. its a dream come true for me to get to be there coach. i seriously can't think of anything better. the girls tell me all the time they love me being the coach. we have practice every wedn. and a game on saturday. we have learned about 20 cheers that we do throughtout the game. then at half time the girls do a hip hop dance to music i found youtube and then at the end of the game, i put on the music and line up up on the side line and have the girls run out one at a time and do cartwheel, splits, or jump kicks. we usually go through the girls 3 x, they love it so much!

tuesday, after having had rain for about a week, it was in the 70s and sunny. we stayed out front on the drive way from 12-6pm. after school some neighborhood kids came out. in 6 hours, we had so much fun, we did jump rope, chalk outlined our bodies, put on music and danced. got the my little ponies and made chalk cities on the drive way for them and house. rollerbladed, raced, got out the beach towels and unbrellas and laid out....it was awesome! so relaxing and fun. i love my girls so much. they make my days so much fun....what would i do with out them? everyone always asks what i would do if they said they wanted to go to chool... ..seriously?.......school or getting to play all day with your mom, sister, and your puppy.....i dont' think they'll be asking any time soon.

Misc:
-the girls have decided to make their beds everyday, including re setting up all their animals so it looks nice....who are these kids....i've never made a bed in my life!

-halle, "i love ice cream more then anything in the world!" kiki, "more then God, halle? HE MADE YOU!"

you know the katy perry song, "your hot then your cold, your yes , then your no"
the other day i listened closely while halle sang it and she sings, "your hot then your cold, theirs a nest in your nose"

ok, back to school work. now that i've got the lap top at the table with us for school, i might do more updates....
