Dental floss in BULK

So, I am SO glad that I buy dental floss in bulk, as you can see below in the picture, because once a month the above takes place. Yes, that is dental floss and I found it wrapped all over Nora's body with the other end in her mouth. As those who keep up with my blog and have been for a while now are aware--this is not an unusual thing and not unusual at all to find them eating the floss. So for those of you that see my MANY containers of dental floss in my bathroom closet and laugh to themselves about my reasoning for needing that much floss at a time--there you go-- I can never have too much dental floss.

Run Horse...run....

The girls love when daddy is their horse and here they are enjoying the ride. (nora is in blue)

Play date...making dinner with dad

I took the girls out for a play date with Robin and her crew but we had a time mistake and only saw them for about 15 min. The girls had fun though, they do better when there are less people around and they have my attention.
So, the picture below started out as something funny but of course it ended with screaming--Emma was having fun though.
Below Emma and Dad are rolling meatballs for me. It has been AGES since we have had meat to eat. After we 'went organic' organic meat is just SO expensive so we have just gone without since last summer but on vacation Kevin's dad sent us home with one of his cows, yes I know that sounds gross, but it is a healthy cow--no hormones, etc....So, it has been nice having some meat back in our diet.

HOUSE SOLD

So, my mom just sold her house. We moved a lot when we were kids but we lived in this place the longest---we moved in when I was 12. I am a bit sad to say goodbye to the place I called--'home' for so long.

Eating with my bro's...way back at Christmas

Okay, this is from way back at Christmas. These are not my photos. When my brothers were here from CA I was able to go out to eat with all 5 of them one night and it was fun. Above you can see my brother Ben in the way back (with the smile and hat on) and below is my brother--little danny. He will be getting married soon!
Oh, this picture is out of order but I will just leave it there. This is a picture of my two best friends from highschool and I am in the back. They are both pregnant with their first babies and this is a baby shower for my friend Correne, back in...Ummm, actually I don't remember. FINALLY, I will not be the only one with kids!!
Below is a continuation of my brothers...my brother Jonny is in the hat. He is the one that lives in CA right now.
Below is a picture of my brother Chris and Jerry was there as well but I guess nobody got a picture of him, sorry Jerry.

Just another day...

So, I am still trying to catch up. The blogs I have been posting are a week behind, but I am getting there. I like to post that night about what went on that day. Below is a picture of the girls cuddling again during a dinner time/movie time....so cute when they love each other like that.
Below is Pepito. It has not been easy having a puppy. I feel like I am ALWAYS cleaning up an accident, if not his--Hannah and Nora's---Ugggg, I HATE potty training. He is also ALWAYS getting into something--digging in plants, which of course puts dirt all over the floor---eating everything the girls leave on the floor, I am tired....feels like I have a 4th child and a very disobedient one too.
Below is one of my best friends from highschool--Correne. She is VERY pregnant and is due Wednesday (feb 28th). She is having a princess and the girls are SO excited. They call her Auntie Reen, it is cute. We were able to spend a day with her last week and are hoping to spend much more with her since she will be home from work with a baby soon.
Here is Nora, asking me to take a picture of her.
Emma doing the same. There new thing is to say---take a picture of me, take a picture of me.

Girls cuddling

So, this is their new thing. When I let them watch a movie, they HAVE to cuddle to watch it. Usually movie time is when I am making dinner SO I haven't been able to cuddle with them....now they cuddle each other and they love it. It is so cute to see them like that. My friend Robin just had to get in the picture :). Above I did attempt to cut her out and then below I just let it happen....happy Robin?

FINALLY HOME and SNOW SNOW SNOW

Yes, we are finally home and just in time for a big snow storm. Below is a picture of the snow in front of our door. We got about 13 inches in this area.
It was too cold to go out and SOOO much work to get all their clothes on and trying to keep them on while we are outside, so I decided to bring the snow in. I filled up a bucket full of snow and they used their play kitchen stuff...then I gave them some chocolate chips, syrup, etc...to make their own snack for the day. My girls LOVE to eat snow.

The LONG drive home

So, we picked up our dog and did the drive home in one day....it was a LONG day. Above the girls have their pj's wrapped around the top of their headphones to keep them on, they were just too big for them. They are watching a movie. Below are pictures of the girls meeting Pepito for the first time.
I put a pull-up on him. I was afraid he would pee on me.

Visiting G-ma Richardson

Above is Aunt Karen and Nora and below is G-ma watching Emma play ball. Emma is having a blast.
Dad and Nora---Nora is dressed like Cinderella, her favorite character. Auntie Sharon bought them all cute dress up clothes.
