Goodnight Moon

Last weekend, Brent and I took the girls to see the play Goodnight Moon at a children's theater in Dallas.  We went with the Curries.  The girls were ecstatic to spend time with their good friends, Hayden and Joel.
Brown Bear got a pic with Abby for the school journal.
The kids were so cute holding hands and walked sideways in the line so they wouldn't have to let go of each other.


 Waiting for the Show to Begin
 During intermission, they played with some props in the lobby. 

 Pinkalicious was at this theater last month.  The girls thought this was hilarious to stick their heads on her body.




 After the show, we went to eat at Mariano's.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day finally came!  We had waited for it since the day after Christmas.  The girls saved these Hello Kitty outfits for the big party at school.  Abby layed them out the night before and was dressed and ready to go by 7:30am!  Here they are ready to party at school.
 Parents were invited to the 4's parties, but Caroline's class kept it simple and requested we not come.  I was a little bummed about that and I can't wait to be at all her parties next year!

We had our annual Anderson indoor spaghetti picnic Thursday night.  I am thankful every year that one of my first grade students gave me this idea.  It was a tradition I was ready to start before I was even pregnant with Abby.  Although really simple, the girls think it is so neat.


 Caroline is obsessed with Peter Pan and wants to be Wendy every chance she gets.  So, that means she runs in the house every time we arrive home and puts on her nightgown.  Abby is in her nightgown just because she likes to be comfy.
Wendy is cracking Peter up here.  Yes, that's right, Brent is Peter.  If Abby or I call him Daddy or Brent, she yells at us saying, "No, call him Peter!"
 Abby brought home Brown Bear from school last Thursday.  He went on "adventures" with us and then Abby and I wrote about them in a class journal.  Of course, we took lots of pictures of Brown Bear on all these adventures.

 Daddy and I gave the girls ball hoppers for Valentine's Day.

Happy Birthday, GiGi and PawPaw!

Last weekend, we had a little birthday party for GiGi and PawPaw in Spring.
Abby and Caroline were in celebration mode.



One gift was packed in styrofoam, or snow, as the girls called it.  They tore it up into tiny pieces and threw it all over the yard.


They also had a good time getting out some of their old baby toys for Carter.

Carter always has an audience when these two cousins are around.

Caroline let Carter have Dora for a few minutes.  That is a big deal! 
Bingo with GiGi

We had beautiful weather and enjoyed our usual bike rides, fishing and playground outings.
We took Abby's "big girl bike."  She is a pro now.





 We all enjoy this little guy!

 Abby is always ready to hold, feed and push Carter in his stroller.
Dora got time in the doorway jumper when Carter wasn't using it.
