These Cuties

It's times like these that make my heart melt:

And times like these that I want to laugh until I cry:

And times like these when I think I'm either a genius for figuring out this is the best bathtub for babies or a bad-third-kid-mom because this one doesnt even get to go in the tub!

Our First Tae Kwon Do Tournament

Yesterday MiniM.E. participated in her first Tae Kwon Do tournament. It was small and at her school, but for being small it still felt very crowded and overwhelming! Despite the crowds of people, lack of seating, yelling and loud music, MiniM.E. was very focused and must not have been phased much because she got first in her division for forms!

Oh No! More Snow!!

Just when I was ready for spring we got pelted with another snow storm Wednesday... 

I have to say, its the best building snow we've had in a long time and we've probably spent more time outside the past week than we have all winter.

And the snow just keeps coming! We'll try to enjoy it while it lasts... which hopefully isn't too long!

A Weekend in NH

Over the weekend we went to NH to visit C & H (and see Gram and Grumpy, of course). We planned to spend most of the weekend hanging out with moms and kids, but it ended up that C had to work more than she planned.

There's always plenty to do at Gram & Grumpy's... looking out the window, reading, hot tub, swing set, zip line, and playgrounds.

Saturday we went to a new bounce house place in Manchester. It was a little zoo-ish, being a weekend, but the kids bounced and had a great time. I couldn't resist buying the kids this crazy fish bowl slush:

 Then we headed to C & H's for a sleepover! There was lots of playing and movies and pizza and (most excitingly for the girls) Margo the bearded dragon.

A Beautiful Start to the Week

It was such a nice day today that I dragged the girls outside every chance I could get. While they might have been reluctant at first, it definitely put everyone in a better mood. At least until this evening when they were so tired from playing outside and skipping rest that they were ready for bed before we even left for MiniM.E.'s evening Tae Kwon Do.

A New Do

Today LittleL.G. insisted I cut her hair like BabySlimJim's. I'm not sure what prompted the desire to be hairless. Possibly BabySlimJim's attraction to her golden locks. Or maybe the dislike of having me detangle the nest of hair she makes while sleeping. Or my constant nagging about putting her hair up, only to have her take it out after fifteen minutes (along with a good chunk of hair). Whatever the reason, while I feel like it's her hair and it will always grow back, a buzz cut seemed a little extreme. After researching some short hairstyles, we agreed to try something in between to see if it was short enough for a couple weeks.

she seems happy- I'll take it!

Just a Thursday

The beginning of the week had us so busy and with last night's late night, everyone was tired... well... almost everyone... 

Our special treat for today was a playroom-Olympics-watching-camp-out. The girls were so tired they couldn't even stay awake until the Olympic coverage started!
