where did the time go?

Gosh, it has been so long since my last post....where do I begin?

A few happenings over the past couple of months - 

 lola played a sheep in the Christmas play

  






the girls made reindeer cookies and crafts with grandma
  

 
they had fun at the zoo with a friend
























I tried to get a good shot of cousins together, they had other ideas
  
  



lola had her first ballet recital

As usual, the holidays just flew by.  Here we are already at Valentine's Day.  It's been fun as the girls have been really into making these cute lollipop flowers for their friends.

Lola's big countdown to her 100th day of kindergarten is coming close - they've been counting since the 1st day of school, only 9 more days left.  She's so excited, they are having a big party that day.

Speaking of parties, Bella cannot wait for her 4th birthday party...any time I talk about a party for whatever reason, she wants to know about hers.  At first it seemed so far away, but now it's only 8 weeks from now - I guess I should get started planning on that one.  Now if I could only get her to decide what she wants to do - one day it's princesses, another pirates, tea party, fairy, mermaid...

the tooth fairy strikes again!

Lola just lost another tooth last night, which makes two in one week.  And let me just say that I absolutely did not raid her piggy bank so the tooth fairy would have something to put under her pillow for the second tooth. Because really, mommyhood is like being a boy scout - always be prepared....or at least know how to make it seem like you are!




  





something to make you smile....or laugh, as it did me

     lola - Momma, did you buy a flamingo?

     me - Noooo

     lola - Are you sure? I thought you said you were going to get one.

     me - Nope, pretty sure I didn't


later in the day....


     lola - Momma, you did buy a flamingo!  See?  Here it is!

     me - Ooohhh, you mean mango!  Yes, I did buy one of those.
