Family Vacation and Math Class

We like to take a mini two-night vacation sometime between Jan-March just the five of us (last year it was the four of us... how time flies!) Where we stay has a magnificent breakfast smorgasbord and the girls love the donuts best of all! (surprise, surprise...)
Lucy liked the tater tots!



We discovered that it shouldn't be called a "family vacation"... more like a "kid vacation" because it was so much work for us! Have a crawling baby by a pool and two kids that don't know how to swim isn't relaxing at all, but it makes memories for them and is so worth it!

I have no idea why the Easter Bunny was there... but he walked through the pool area and terrified Aubrey. See my girls watching him ever so safely from the pool?
We LOVE Math Class! Mrs. Baloche and Mrs. Joshua have made it SOOO much fun to learn our numbers and math concepts!
We sing "ATootieTa" each week... and I think it might be Kenzie's favorite part!
Kenzie's dream finally came true... she got to be the star student this week!!
She was shaking with joy as she got to hold the counting wand!

Blurry pic... but it captures how truly special she felt at this moment!
Liv and Kenzie... best friends like their mamas!

Aubrey joined us for the activities part... she loved measuring with water!
I love the look of concentration on her face!

Socializing after Math Class!
I had two little girls who "helped" with the dishes last night...

... such fun raising girls!

Long Winter Days...

Here are some of the fun things we've been doing while we've been inside with the cold weather... however, it seems like spring really may be on it's way!
Marble Painting...
"Basket Weaving" and fruit printing...
Decorating the letters in our names...
Monday night Jake took Kenzie on a date to chickfila... she was very happy with how her outfit turned out. She was wearing the headband that she affectionately calls "the date headband" and her "glass slippers"... she felt like a queen, can you tell?
They were both getting a little annoyed with me I think...
I love this one of both of them!
