Two Little Chicks

By -
We spend every weekend trying to decide what fun new things we can do with the girls. We're usually out and about discovering places or enjoying a day at the park.

This Sunday, we were out the door by 7:30 to get to The Coffee Cup (our Sunday spot) before the crowd beat us.

After breakfast, we headed to Trader Joe's to get our weekly shopping done.

We headed home to unload the car, and then we were right back at it.

We stopped at Toys R Us to return some stuff that we accidentally bought the day before (thanks, Grace, for throwing whatever you want in the cart).

Then we headed to the mall to return a couple of items at Express and also bought a few new ones.

By 11:30, we had already accomplished all of our errands for the weekend.

Grace got a sandbox for her last birthday ten months ago, so we decided to spend the rest of the afternoon putting it together. We've been spending lots of time playing in the backyard after work, so it seemed like it was about time to break open the box.

We went to Lowe's to pick up some play sand and then went home to get started.

While we were working, Grace and Charley played in their kiddie pool (and looked adorable doing so).




(Grace found this tiara that Shelly gave her at Noah's birthday party and insisted that I put it in her hair, so "I can see better and be like a princess.")


Grace was quickly ready for a nap, and Charley wanted a snack. Daddy gave her an Apple Grace juice box and some goldfish that she dumped all over the grass while I put a movie on for Grace.



After her snack, Charley waited by the pool for Grace to come back out and play.





Once Grace woke up, the sandbox was ready to go. The girls had so much fun playing in it.










We had a great Sunday hanging out with each other, and it was nice to actually be at home for a change. I love my little family so much. What a blessing these two little chicks are <3

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute

Picture of the Week: The Sleepiest Kid Ever When I pick Perry up in the afternoons, we have to wait for about twenty minutes before Grace and Char get back from school. I actually kind of love it, because it gives me a chance to hang in Perry's classroom when they are doing afternoon crafts. Monday, they made barns out of chocolate graham crackers and marshmallow fluff. Perry's favorite part was eating it, and she shared with her sisters in the car as we drove home. We made salads for dinner, and she kept begging Daddy for bites. He decided it was easier to just share the whole bowl with her. Perry is definitely our best eater of the bunch and loves pretty much everything you give her, including most veggies.   She was being super silly in the bath, so I gave her a mohawk to go with her sass. While I was combing her hair, she found the tweezers on the counter, and kept calling them "teezwers". It was adorable, so I had to get a video.

Mini Adult

I'm officially in birthday planning mode. Grace is going to be TWO in just a month. She's such a mini adult: I can't even believe she used to be as small as Charley! Grace is now sleeping in her own bed all night. She falls asleep with us, but once we move her to her own bed, she stays there all night long. She's also in panties full time. She still has accidents in the middle of the night once in a while, but it's easy to wash her sheet and the waterproof mattress pad. We're officially done with diapers with this one!! Grace has also learned to roll her eyes this month. It's hilarious when I tell her she's cute and she rolls her eyes at me. Such a diva! She tells us she's ready to "go to bet" around 7:30 every night and even around 1:00 every day when she wants to take her nap (I love pre-school for this one). Grace is totally obsessed with pouches. If you don't know what they are and you have kids
