Purim Carnival

We hit the Purim Carnival again this year! Thank you Stacy for the invite. The bigs & the littles all got dressed up and suffice to say everyone had a blast. Inflated slides and carnival games were an instant hit for the bigs. As for Madelyn, all we really saw of her costume was her tush, as she was crawling as fast as her body would take her always in the opposite direction, followed by her Daddy grabbing her and winging her around. She did eventually find one game that was at her height - thanks Cassie for grabbing those pictures! And last but not least we had to take a couple laps on the train before heading home for naps all around!

Dinner with the Pearsons (or Princesses)

Scott & Aaron are fabulous friends, and for those of you that don't know Stacey had a role in Scott & I meeting, she posted Tigger up for adoption on our company website, and the rest is well history...

We haven't gotten our four girls together nearly as much as we should, in fact I think Annabelle was in an infant seat the last time we all got together...but after the princess dresses came out these two were like a pair of long lost friends.

Swimming Lessons Take 2

Well the littles are in swimming lessons.... SO FUN. To say that Saturday mornings are a bit hectic, is an understatement - 9 am dance for Annabelle, 11 am swimming for Madelyn, and 12pm swimming for Annabelle. And if they didn't love every single minute of it, it wouldn't be worth the chaos involved... but my girls love to be busy, and they love these activities. Plus the exhaustion nap is the best kind of nap! I thought I was behind on getting Madelyn in the water, but a glance back at the blog, and really Annabelle was a month older when she started.

There are not nearly as many pictures of Madelyn's swim class because Scott has to wrangle Annabelle while Madelyn & I are in the water, but trust me when I say she LOVES it. At some point during the eight weeks we will have to get some video!

Then after her class Madelyn is my little photography assistant, helping me grab the perfect shot of Annabelle's class... so helpful.

The bigs are now in the preschool swim class, translation no parent in the pool with them! When did they get so big! Cassie, Scott and I were proud parents on the side of the pool. I have to brag a little because many of the other children are all over the place, and Avery & Annabelle sat on the step, listened to the instructors, and waited patiently for a their turn. I am almost certain I will not be able to type that sentence when our little is in preschool class!

Grandma & Grandpa notice the pointed toes! Ballet lessons are paying off in the pool too! Sorry for all the weird colors....pools have all kinds of weird light!
