A Fun Saturday Outside

This past Saturday all the girls got play outside since it was nice out. They even got a surprise when their friend Caroline came to play as well. Lilly and Campbell are getting to be pros on the trampoline..but sweet little Caroline was a little unsure at first, but then warmed up with the big girls!

After a while of playing on the swingset and trampoline..the girls were ready for some McDonalds of course! Mary Kate woke up and joined the big girls for some lunch.



















Here is Caroline's daddy Chip helping all the girls with their McDonalds food...cause that's what he is good at!! Ha!


















Mary Kate and one of her funny faces!
























Back to playing...now in Lilly's playhouse.


















After Caroline left...Campbell and Lilly decided to go for a spin in the jeep!

Gotta Enjoy This Weather!!!

Sunday after church the girls enjoyed another nice day outside playing! This weather really makes us all want spring to come soon!

Campbell Getting Her Ears Pierced!!!!

Well after a few months of Campbell asking to get her ears pierced we decided to let her!
This is a before shot of Campbell and me while the ladies got everything ready. I was way more nervous than she was!



















Ok...so we we go!!! Look at sweet Campbell while they do it..and me looking at the ceiling cause I was freaking out!























She did AMAZING!! The ladies there even said she was so BRAVE and didn't even cry at all! For the first minute or two she was in shock and didnt really know what just happened.


















Now its starting to all sink in....


















VERY HAPPY NOW!!! And now ready to go pick out a toy!























Campbell very proud holding her certificate of bravery and new toy cause she did so good!(Sleeping Beauty doll)

A Very Cold Central Park Walk

Well the girls, Tracy and I all decided to go on a walk through Central Park...when we left it was cold...but while we were gone temperature dropped probably 15 degrees...so we scurried back!!! It was frigid!!!




Campbell(of course refusing to wear her mittens)

Campbell decided she wanted to lead us on the excursion!

One of 2 ice-skating rinks inside Central Park

Mary Kate pretty much missed the whole excursion to and through Central Park..she was all bundled in the stroller of course!

Right before heading back they were letting the skaters back on the ice..it was amzing to see how many were skating in that COLD!

Pottery Barn Kids-NYC

From where my aunt's apt is in Manhattan..there is a PBK about one block from it...so we frequented it often....but this particular day we decided to go we got a big surprise! When we walked in the store.....none other than The Cat in the Hat was there!!! The girls of course didn't get overly excited or anything...ha! But at least we got some pics with him! Since it was Sat. morning there were about 100 people with children running everywhere in the store...apparently it's the happening place on Sat. morning.

I thought it was very cool that they were having a special with The Cat in the Hat...and even a story time while we were there of several Dr.Suess books...however my girls weren't that interested...they were more interested in the very awesome dollhouses they had for children to play with(of course...so you will buy it)! Campbell decided that she wants this dollhouse and all the furniture for her birthday...I guess we will just have to wait and see!

Alice's Tea Cup in NYC

I had found this really neat Tea place online called Alice's Tea Pot(kinda went along with Alice in Wonderland theme)...it was very fun drinking tea na dhvaing lunch for all of us girls! Campbell and Mary Kate got sprinkled with fairy dust when we came in and got fairy wings to wear.

I thought this was a sweet picture of Campbell and Mary Kate in their fairy wings!

Campbell decided she would rather drink hot chocolate instead.
