Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Nobody got pinched at school today!!

Yummy green-themed lunch :). 

...and a fun leprechaun bath for everyone!

A Pretty Day

Finally, we got some sunshine!! Daddy took these two out to play in the mud :)

They've had fun playing dress-up lately.  Anna adores her big brother. She picks her costume according to what he picked, so that they will "match".  Here is Dr. Ben and Doc McStuffins Anna, and Prince Charming and Cinderella.

A fun game of Pictionary!  We were talking about sharing and what kinds of things we could share with each other....the TV remote was on there, ha ha!!

Cutie Pies on Valentine's Day

The kids had the best Valentine's Day this year!  At school, Anna wore the Valentine's dress I made for her. She gave her classmates "Frozen" valentines and ate ice cream and cookies at their party.

Checking out her goodies after school!

Ben's homework was to decorate a tissue box to use as a Valentine mailbox. So, we made one that looked like a minion from his favorite movie Despicable Me.  He was SuPeR proud of it!

Here he is with his best buddy Jaxon.  They cooked up a plan to have similar mailboxes :)

While Ben was at school Friday, Mommy and Anna ran errands. Cutest little girl ever!

Ditching the Training Wheels!!

Last week, we had a nice, "warm" day that was perfect for a bike ride. We don't get to ride a lot because our driveway is pretty small and we live on a hill. So we walked down to the cul-de-sac with the bike and scooter, and thought we'd try to see if Ben could ride without training wheels.

Well, he got it right off the bat! It was the cutest thing… He was so excited he just giggled up and down the street the whole way. :)

Here he is, with his sweet daddy running beside him until he could run no more!

A Real Big Boy Bed

We went to visit Gastonia for Thanksgiving this weekend, and brought home a real big boy bed for Ben! It belonged to my Grandma Nell's family, so it is really special. You wouldn't believe how excited he was about this!  Here he is going to bed his first night in it.

His reenactment of his baby photo on the wall...ha ha!!
