Summer 'Do

 The girls' hair was out of control! Decided on a whim to go extra short for the summer. Here's a few pics of them modeling their new cuts.

Carly - age 6!

Carly had her 6 year well check up last week. This prompted me to create her blog post about what I want to remember about her these past few months.

• has learned to read and really enjoys reading
• finally hit 40 pounds!!! (41 pounds now to be exact)
• enjoys writing stories and poems - note to self to scan one of her poems to post
• loves to hear and tell jokes
• tries to make up jokes - unfortunately they don't make any sense
• has recruited me two babysitters - Carly somehow gets her student teachers to give her their phone number before they leave school.
• loves to swing
• loves to play outside and go to the park
• loves to dance
• loves to sing
• likes to cook - especially if it is a dessert
• performed in her first play (Alice in Wonderland) and loved it
• will be the star in her kindergarten graduation play - The title of the play is "The Cow who didn't Moo". Carly is playing the cow.
• loves to do art projects
• doesn't mind being sick because she enjoys missing a day from school
• still loves to eat crossants
• only drinks water with the occasional small glass of milk or lemonade
• has a new love for corn on the cob...luckily she still has her two front teeth
• has her first loose tooth
• loves the Pink song "Raise Your Glass"... why does she know this song at the age of 6??? because I'm the World's Greatest Mom.
• had her first sleep over at France's house...stayed up until 9:45pm and woke up at 6:15am!
• still can throw a really good fit
• sings and tells herself stories for sometimes an hour before falling asleep
• has had a green dot every day this year - behavior color chart (green is the best behavior with red being the worst)...most days she gives me a run down of the kids on blue and red
• still enjoys dressing up
• wants to wear a bikini this summer!
• knows how to play angry birds on Mike's phone
• knows her way around the computer
• favorite restaurants: Cici's (all you can eat pizza buffet) and Zaxby's (loves the bread)
• dresses herself on Fridays
• thinks skorts was one of the greatest inventions
• still very routine driven...keeps us on schedule!
• loves life!

Easter - family pic

Easter 2011 - First family picture in a long, long time...in fact, have I ever posted a family pic? Easter was low key around here...The highlight was making homemade yeast rolls (a tradition Nanny started for the holidays)...yum! but definitely a time investment. Unfortunately, making rolls took so long there wasn't time to make much else...luckily a kind friend shared some ham and turkey with us!

How did April go by without one blog post!
