Preschool!

Kaelyn & Shae started preschool (Christian Learning Center) at our church this week. I am teaching there also so we are getting accustomed to our new routine on Tuesdays & Thursdays!

They were SO excited when we woke them up & reminded them they were starting school! :)

They had a great 1st day & absolutely LOVED school! They go to Chapel, ROMP (dancing, fun activities, get their energy out), have scheduled times for learning, arts/crafts, rest time, etc...

They were so excited to go back again on Thursday! Now they are looking forward to a fun Valentine's Day party on Tuesday.

Weekend With The Cousins!

A couple of weekends ago, while my sister and her hubby were in Hawaii, we loaded up and headed South to Midlothian to watch my nieces, Kylie & Macie, for the weekend. We went down on a Thursday night with Momma G & Papa G (who were going to Hawaii as well).

On Friday morning, I woke up early to get myself dressed and ready and then got all 4 girls up & ready, fed, out the door, in order to get my nieces to school. I was exhausted by 8 a.m.! :) ha!

After we got them to school, the girls and I came back to the house and played all day. We played in the play-room, outside, did puzzles, went on a nature walk, swung on the front porch swing, etc...

We had planned to go by and visit Aunt Shell before picking up the girls from school, but not 5 minutes after we got in the car, I looked back and found this...

they had flat worn themselves out!

After picking up the girls, we came back home to eat a snack and then headed outside to play! It was such a beautiful day!

 

 

After dinner, the kids enjoyed their cupcakes & had a fun movie night. After the kids were in bed, the adults enjoyed the nice evening outside by the fire pit! What fun!

Babe's!

Last Sunday evening, we celebrated Papi's birthday at Babe's Chicken! After dinner, the girls enjoyed playing by the juke box & dancing to the music!

BRRR!! It's cold out there!!

We have definitely had our share of cold weather here in Dallas! It snowed on Christmas Eve, but we were so busy we didn't have a chance to get out & play at all. These pictures were taken on December 28th and Kaelyn begged me to go outside to see the snow. Shae said "No, thank you...it's too cold out there!" HA!

One day I gave the girls some junk mail and looked up and saw Kaelyn like this...

She cracks us up! :)

Since it has been so cold, we have spent a lot of time inside. Kylie & Macie got them a lot of arts & crafts things for Christmas: playdough burger maker, playdough, stamp set, and glitter markers!

On Friday, we met Melissa & Brynne for lunch @ Salad Creations. It's set up like a Subway and you can build your own salad. Such a great idea & wonderful salads! Then we headed down the street to take the girls to the Wiggles Play Center. It was perfect for a cold day with temps in the 20's. They had SO much fun jumping in the bouce house, climbing up high in the play area and going down the slides many times!
