A Busy Week...

The girls were a little under the weather this week so instead of going out to play with friends, we stayed home and found ways to keep us busy. We did Valentine's...

Made some cutout cookies and Brooklyn loved being able to lick the beaters for the first time!


Carefully putting them on the tray...

We painted their names to decorate their rooms. This was fun (haha!) and gave me a great reason to clean our floor AND the girls!


By the end, I'm pretty sure Brooklyn had more on her than the 2 paintings combined!

The finished products!

 
We got around to actually decorating the cookies a few days later...

Brynn's favorite color by far is BLUE - or "boo" as she says it! So of course, we had to make blue cookies!

Brooklyn loves to walk around with these huge backpacks that are 1/2 the size of her! One's a frog and the other is a big hairy dog... this night she wanted BOTH on her at the same time! Crazy kid...

Brynn and I played a game practicing with her colors using pom poms, magnets and a cookie sheet. She knew ALL of her colors!

Great job girl!

We even had our own private rock band in the kitchen. I know you all wish you were here to hear that one!

Ta Da!!

It was a fun week and in addition to everything in the pictures, we even went out to lunch with Daddy at the Deer Valley airport and watched all the planes take off! Brynn has been wanting to go to the airport since Auntie Kristin left, so we finally did it (even though she really wanted to get ON one of the airplanes! I hope she's this excited when we actually do go in May!) We're all a little tired as well... Brynn, our perfect little sleeper, has become quite the little drama queen lately. When it's time for bed, something is always hurting now - her eyes, foot, today was her finger - and she wants me to lay down in her room with her. I've done it now for the past few nights, but need to quickly put a stop to this new little stage! I just love how she's trying so hard to talk and tell us what she needs - and I think she knows she has me wrapped around her finger! It doesn't help that when I do lay down next to her, she pats my head and kisses my forehead... she knows how to get me and I know, I'm a sucker, but I do need some sleep too so I'm coming up with a plan!
