Wacky Wednesday!!!

In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday yesterday, we started our morning yesterday with the traditional green eggs.

We were heading to Lil Monkey Bizness to meet friends, and decided to get one more wear out of our Dr. Seuss shirts (size 9 months and 24 months...but they worked)...

I told them to stand next to each other and smile, but Caitlin is in a "hugging" phase lately, so this is what I got...which is much cuter anyways!!!

Hope you did something to celebrate the fun day yesterday too!!!!

Playing the Day Away

Friday, the girls and I headed out to Kohl's Children's Museum.  Abigail LOVES the shopping cart area and Caitlin loves the pretend house area so the girls were very happy to have the day to play away!  I spent 50%, 75%, 90% of the day chasing Caitlin as she ran away from me....but I can tell you she had a fun day!  :)  Any day that I'm able to spend with quality time with my girls is a great day!!!!

Abigail got a shopping list and she had to find her items, and then check out.

Caitlin just wanted to "eat" everything!

I love this bug!  She is in this new stage of making the funny faces....

Taking care of her baby

Feeding her baby

Abigail is very serious about changing the baby's clothes

Music Time

I liked these two pictures....concentrating so hard: 

Making Shapes

After the museum, we headed home for naps, and then went up to Bass Lake for the weekend....

Les Miserables

Last night we had a "girl's night" and went to see Les Mis.  It was WONDERFUL...as great as I remembered!  The  main singers had wonderful voices!!!!  We also had a great dinner at 312 in Chicago!

I'm very lucky to have such great sisters and a great mom to do these things with!  I look forward to Abigail and Caitlin doing things together (and maybe even inviting their ole mom with).

Thanks Mom (and Dad) for the tickets!  And thanks Nana and Papa for watching Abigail and Caitlin.  Abigail told me it was "soooo fun!"

"Mommy, it was like Christmas!"

"Mommy, it was like Christmas!"

-Abigail following 1st dentist visit

Abigail did great at her first dentist appointment today!  My parents and sisters know that we did NOT have the best experiences growing up with our family dentist....so I spent a lot of time researching and found a great children's dentist!  I got to stay with her the whole time (very hard to find a dentist to let you) and Abigail had a great visit! She left with so much stuff too!  Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, chapstick, stickers, and ball!  I am very sure she won't mind going back in 6 months!

Now, off to the ENT this afternoon to see how Caitlin is doing with her tubes and hearing and to see how Abigail's ears are.  FUN DAY!  But tonight is very exciting....I am going to see Les Miserable!  My mom wanted to go see it, so she got tickets for the "girls" to go!  They told me it was my bday gift too!  (Yeah, my parents are awesome!!!!)  It's my absolute favorite musical and I've seen it a few (like 6 :) ) times, but tonight my sisters are seeing it for their first time!  I think I forgot to mention, when I went to the Oprah show, the cast of Les Miz was in the audience....at the end I talked to one of the leads (she sings Master of the House)....

And here's a picture of Lia and I waiting to go into Oprah!

Oprah was a great experience....I'm so happy I can cross that off my bucket list!

1.  See Oprah

2.  Go to Europe

3.  Run Marine Corp Marathon

"Uh-Oh"

Caitlin officially has her first "word"...."UH-OH!"  It's so funny because this was one of Abigail's first words too...in fact, we named her crab "Uh-Oh" when we went to Ocean City when Abigail was 18 months old.

Caitlin says "Uh-Oh" anytime someone drops something, hits something, or does something that deserves the sound!  Of course, everytime I tried to videotape her, she'd stop saying it..and the second I stopped taping, she said it!  Here's her talking (and you can see why she probably doesn't care to talk that much...someone else (who will remain nameless) talks for her).

Valentine's Day Loot

We wanted to thank all our family for all of our Valentine's Day loot!  It's such a fun day full of little gifts that remind us how much we are loved!

Here were a few pics of the girls showing me some of their gifts!

New Puzzle

Showing me how her new shirt fits 

Matching shirts 

Socks and Movie 

"Purse" 

Barbie 

And of course, their matching pajamas (that match Lucy too) from Grandma and Grandpa!

Thanks Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Julie, Uncle Joe, Aunt Katie, Nana, and Papa for our fun gifts!

Good Morning!

Happy Friday!  We started off our day as we always do (although a little bit earlier than normal 5:30am)....some milk and Bubble Guppies, our new favorite show (great music, it's actually quite addicting)!

Mommy is "cliff-noting" the last 100 pages of Great Expectations (finished Tale of Two Cities) because we are leaving in an hour and a half for.....OPRAH!  The day is here.  I'm so excited! 

Anyways, Happy Friday!  And tonight I'll post some fun pictures of jumping, Valentine's Day, and Caitlin's new (and really only) favorite word, "Uh Oh!"  Only Caitlin's first word would be "uh oh"....we are in trouble!  :)
