Easel Painting with Mommy

Today your school had easel painting with mommy.  I was not sure what to expect, but knew that whatever it was it would be fun.  I had the last slot of the afternoon.  It was really nice that Ms. Riza had separate papers set up for each of you.  Lily, you and I painted first, and it was very fun.  You wanted me to help you painting your "spring" picture.

Emma, you were next and it could not have been more different.  You did not want any help or for me to paint on your paper at all.  You had an idea of what you wanted to do and there was no shifting from that plan. :)  It was a lot of fun to experience both ways of painting.

St. Patrick's Day Parade

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day on Saturday by going to the 4th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade.  We were not aware that this parade existed, but you ladies were super excited to go.  You were talking about St. Patrick's Day for weeks.  My favorite thing that was you ladies kept saying if you don't wear green, St. Patrick will come and pinch you. You even made little pinchers with your fingers.  Daddy and I went out yesterday and bought you the most adorable shirts to wear to the parade.  It was funny because there was a mommy shirt and a daddy shirt. 

Grandma came over to go to the parade with us and well as you can figure out we did some pictures before we left. (Yes your mommy is obsessed with taking you pictures, one day you will appreciate it.)

 The parade was downtown near mommy's work.  We got there a little early so we walked around and explored downtown.

We got settled in our seats and waited for Toni and Jennifer to arrive.  They were coming to the parade as well.  It makes me so happy to see you girls together.

In Honor of Dr. Suess

It is Dr. Suess week at school in honor of his birthday which is March 2nd.  Today is crazy hat day. I had no idea what we would make, and almost forgot about it until I saw a message at around 7pm last night reminding me about it.  So I started planning and crafting.  I did the bands before you went to bed last night so I had the measurements right and then just let my imagination run wild.

The finished products...

You ladies were so excited to put them on and show your friends.  I thought they turned out pretty cute and a bit crazy.

I Love Mommy and Daddy Because...

On of the things that I love best about your school is how interactive it is.  Every week there is a large sheet of paper on the door or wall with a question and all your friends responses to that question.  The one this week was about Valentine's Day and Love.  Your answers were just so perfect that I had to capture this moment.
