Western Day Dance

This time last year the girls had just started at St Vincent and were sick their first week of school so they didn't even know the dance. They just stood amongst all of the kids and watched. This year was a different story. They were so precious but it was hard to get a good picture of them. The dance was a little crazy and their were kids everywhere. The girls did great and really enjoyed their dance. The teachers said they were all so excited to perform their dance. The girls kept telling me it was a secret when I would ask them to show me the dance. They are so sweet.

Howdy!

It's Western Day at school today and I had to snap these quick pictures this morning because my little cowgirls were so darn cute. I braided their hair and they were so good to let me do this because it took me three tries on both of their heads. I hope their braids stay. It made us late but they sure were cute little cowgirls. It's also show and tell today and they took their little horses from their doll house to show everyone. They wanted to take their big horses but I told them they were too big and wouldn't fit into their backpack.

The hula hoops were a hit with both Brooke and Presley. Brooke tried a lot longer than Presley. There was a thing that you spinned around. I was worried they would both come out dizzy so I made them take turns sooner than they wanted. The smoke blowing was Presley's favorite she was able to move the smoke around by covering the holes. She thought she was pretty cool to be able to reroute the smoke. I always love to see them having fun and their faces were lit up most of the day. It was a special day to spend it with my girls. We had a blast.

Fort Worth Science Museum

Since the girls were out of school on Monday and Tuesday we decided to go to the Science Museum. The first stop we made was a room with a large light brite and other glowing things. We weren't there long when we had to have a potty break. We then went into a crafty room the girls made horse pictures. They were able to pick out cut outs of horses and glue, tape, or staple them on to paper. They were loving this becuase their favorite thing to do is to cut, glue and tape. Presley chose a pink piece of paper and Brooke chose a red piece of paper, both their favorite colors. They created til their hearts were content. I even played around and created a horse with tissue paper on mine. This lady liked mine so much she decided to make one of her own. The girls were so proud of their pictures they asked me to take a picture of their creations. We then went to the next table and made birthday hats because the museum was celebrating a birthday A. A. Milne, the author of Winnie The Pooh. They had just as much fun making the party hats. Prelsey let me take her picture with her hat but Brooke was out the door and on to the next thing. So she didn't let me snap a picture. We spent a lot of time in this room so off to see more of the museum.

Doctor, Doctor

This was the last room we entered and the girls loved acting like doctors and playing with the babies. Right now, playing with babies is all they do. We have about sixteen babies and they are all named. We have an Ava, Ella, Bella, Sara, McKenna, Audry, Mason, Abby, Delaney, Kiley, Lexi, Emily,Skyler,Molly,Reagan, and Victoria. Wow, I can't believe I remembered all those names. They were so fun to watch. They changed the babies, gave them a bath, gave them medicine, took x-rays, checked their eye sight, measured how tall they were, and drove them to the hospital. Being gentle was not their best feature. Good thing they were not real babies. They met a litttle girl named Cabellal. She was so cute and loved that the girls were giving her so much attention. Brooke followed her every move and kept picking her up. I finally had to tell the mom to ask Brooke not to pick her up. She was not listening to me. She loves babies so much that she just can't help it. You can see that in her eyes. She is going to make a great babysitter or mother some day. Once they started playing with Cabella I couldn't get them to leave. I finally had to bribe them with popcorn. It worked for Presley but no, not Brooke. Brooke didn't care about the popcorn she had a little friend to follow and that she did. We were at the museum for 4 1/2 hours and that was long enough. They really enjoyed themselves. I love days like this, when I can spend it with my precious girls.
