100 Years Old

Evelyn writes stories all the time. They always bring a smile, smirk, and usually a loud laugh out.  I thought I would share this.  It is funny to be able to see what a child thinks of something. A glimpse into their thoughts. Thoughts of being old.

If I was 100 years old I would have crutches and stay inside all day and watch TV. I would have gray hair and big old bumps on my face. I would look very old.  I would watch boring TV shows and knit blankets and sweaters.  I would have a very little house.  My neighbor will visit me every day.  They will help me too!

Family Valentine

This year we decided to have a family valentines day instead of just the two of us. We started the morning with the girls looking for their Valentine present. My parents always hid our Easter basket and I liked that idea but we  usually are away at Easter.  So we have made it a tradition of hiding their Valentine’s present instead. With a little coaxing, they finally found them. One in the bathtub, one in the dryer.

Mommy even had to find her present but Addy quickly decided to use it for dress up.

After presents, we headed to the light rail for a train ride up to Pikes for brunch.

After the museum we walked over to daddy’s office. The girls loved seeing where daddy works and meets with other people.

Three with nature

Sunday February 7, 2010

While Daddy was off on his annual Super Bowl Golf Outing, the girls and I took a ride uptown to the nature museum. Its so much fun hanging “just the girls”. The museum was not what we expected but we still had fun being silly and checking out the creatures that live in our area.

Snow Fun

We woke up to a white wonderland and after a quick breakfast, we headed out to play.  Luckily I remembered we had an antique toboggan we use for decoration, otherwise we would have been sled less. The girls had a great time and I got to take some photos.

To Nap or Not to Nap

That is the question.

Nap… she is bouncing off the walls and doesn’t want to sleep at 8pm.

No nap…she is asleep while eating dinner before 6pm, not to mention Angry Addy. Trust me, you don’t want to see Angry Addy, she’s not pleasant.
