Vacation

We got to go to Virginia Beach for vacation, just the 5 of us. It was so much fun, the girls were great, the weather was great - a vacation to remember.

On the last day we found a section of beach with natural tide pools, which was fantastic for the girls, they really loved this part of the beach, warmer water and smaller waves to play in, the best day!

good week

This last week was crazy big but a lot of fun.
We got to spend it with Grandpa/Pop Pop.
The girls got to sleep in our room as well as at the grandparents house.
So we got busy, went to the dentist, washed the car. And also Kate got a second place ribbon for her art work at co-op. So that was great.

 Kate's picture is at the bottom right with red ribbon. Its a picture of the Tangled movie - Rapunzel. She also made the red box next to it from Popsicle sticks, painted with a shell on top, to hold her shells. 













enjoying the great turn in weather and washed the car... and the steps... and then themselves...

Had to add this photo of Jaylee looking supper cute :)
Her hair finally has some length to it...

Dentist

Kate and Anna went to the dentist. this was Kate's second visit and Anna's first. They both did great - so brave. Thankfully their teeth looked great too :) I guess we are doing something right...
