January Pt 2

Making....something.  Every once in a great while I let them "make things" which just means make a mess, then throw it all away.   

Caroline has always had a hard time seeing Maggie go to one birthday party after another.  Her turn finally came.  And she LOVED it!  Preschool friend Laila. 

 Rainbow Loom.  I was hoping it would be something they'd get lost in (giving me a break).  Instead it was a time-suck in that they needed help every 30 seconds.

 But it did produce some cute bracelets that Maggie was very proud of:

Then we got sick.  We spent an entire week getting over colds only for a stomach bug to take over: 

 A sweet little letter from Maggie to her mom and dad:

A little ice skating.  They both did very well!  But they didn't like the sun in their eyes when I stopped them for a picture:

 I took Maggie to my hairstylist and when asked what she wanted she said "bangs" which was a suprise for me.  When we got home Caroline was completely freaked out by the new style.  It took her many weeks to adjust.

 Caroline is selling me a couple of books (on the steps behind her).  She's writing up my receipt.
