Last week we took the girls sledding before the snow all started melting. It was really cold that day so we weren't out for long but we went up to Orchard Hill church and went down the hill 5 or 6 times. The last time, Joelle and I went WAY down into the weeds of the ditch which Joelle thought was really fun on her new blow-up sled from Christmas (mommy had fun too)! Then got warmed up with cocoa. The girls got matching dresses from Aunt Lori with frogs on them....perfect for a St.Patty's day picture!! Jacie looked so cute in her headband that practically took up her whole head! Joelle cut a lock of her hair off yesterday, but I can't really tell where on her head it came from, so I was thankful for that! Could have been much worse. Jacie is up and down the stairs constantly. She's also started crawling up on the little white rocking chair, on to the end table, and onto the couch so she can look out the window! She knows she's not supposed to and looks back over her shoulder and gives a big gummy grin when she gets caught. Joelle loves playing with her babies (or stuffed animals, or shoe or button....whatever she can pretend is a little baby she can take care of!). She's also great at 'cleaning' the bathroom sink (aka....squirting all the toothpaste in the sink so that she can then smear it around and then clean it back up with a soaking wet towel that drips all over the floor!) In the end, she does get it pretty clean! She also loves to play in her kitchen and on my birthday brought be breakfast in bed consisting of a plastic pancake, chocolate chip cookie, banana, and hot chocolate. She'll definitely be a great little caretaker/home maker when she grows up!!
