Child of the Month

Mrs. D chooses two children to be the child of the month and you have to make a poster board that tells all about the child. Brooke is the child of the month in March. I really enjoyed making the project because I went through all my pictures and had a blast reminiscing. It took me forever because I had to look through every picture before I chose the ones I wanted to showcase on her board. A few tears were shed at times because I realized I miss the baby stage. I know, call me crazy but I miss holding and smelling their little necks and then constantly kissing their sweet cheeks. Then you get the feeling that you could just eat them up. Sounds weird but it is so true. They still let me kiss those sweet smelling cheeks, I will miss it when they won't let me do it anymore. Thank you Lord for my precious cargo.
Brooke was so excited when I finished her board. She had to carry it into school all by herself and show the teachers. She was so proud to show it off. I love you Brooke Elizabeth, your mommy's little girl!

Another Brooke

We went to have dinner at a friends house on Saturday night. Their daughters name is Brooke also and the girls were calling her Brookie on the way over to their house. The girls had a great time. They put on a fashion show and sang for us. They sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Brooke which will be 5 on Easter sang a Taylor Swift song. The girls just watched as she sang. The girls don't even know Taylor Swift. I thought to myself as I watched her sing, "Is that what I have to look forward to when the girls turn 5." She seemed much older than 5. I want my girls to stay young, they have plenty of time to find out about Taylor Swift. It was so cute to watch them have such a great time. We left the girls babies at Brooke's house so daddy went to pick them up today. Brooke was not happy that she left her new baby at someone elses house. She plays with her babies all the time.

All Wrapped Up

The girls love to play babies. Erin spent the night not too long ago and the girls were the babies and she wrapped them up in a cacoon. They had a great time with Erin. She is so good with the girls and loves to play with them.
The girls will play mommy and baby and one will be the baby and they act just like a baby and the other the mommy. It is so cute to watch and listen to them and what they say. Brooke is usually the mommy more than Presley. I think Presley likes to be the baby anyway so it works out for the both of them. Their little personalities are really taking off now. Brooke is so nurturing and lovable. Presley is my little chatterbox and she is still my little party girl. She also still loves to be in someones lap. I love that they both still want to sit in mommy's lap because I know there will be the day when they won't have anything to do with mommy and daddy. I want time to freeze because I love this stage in their life.

My Heroes

Brooke "Mom Superman is my hero"
Mommy "Really, you are my hero"
Brooke " I need my Superman costume so I can be Superman"
Mommy " I will look for it tomorrow"
Brooke " Superman, Superman" she screams as she runs through the kitchen

I don't really understand her fascination with Superman. She has never even seen Superman or anything related to it.
Presley will tell me she is a Princess and Mommy you are a Queen and Daddy is the King and Brooke will say loudly, and I am Superman. It cracks me up everytime. I sure hope she grows out of this little Super Hero phase.
My two little girls are my heroes and always will be.
I had to post these pictures of both of them dressing up in mommy and daddys clothes and shoes. These are random pictures but they will sneak in our closets and come out with whatever they can find. Presley really gets creative at times.

My Little Princesses

The girls were invited to their first Princess Party. They were so excited they wouldn't stop talking about it. They sure were good that day because if they acted up I would tell them they wouldn't be able to go to the Princess Party. I am such a mean mommy but, hey, whatever works, right. They were angels the whole day until the party. It was a good thing because I was sick that day and daddy had to watch them. I was disappointed that I didn't get to take them to the party because I have no pictures of the other little girls. They made their own little jewelry box and came home with crowns. What a great day for my two little Princesses. Brooke on the other hand says she is not a princess but instead "Superman." She doesn't give in either she has been Superman since Halloween. Oh well, she sure is a cute Superman in my eyes.

A Valentine Gift

I made these frames for the girls teachers along with matching cards but of course I forgot to take a picture of the card but I used the matching paper that I put on the frame. I also gave the teachers "Fudgie Wudgie" and if you haven't tried this fudge it is a must because it is delicious. The girls are enjoying their new school and mommy is so glad they have finally adjusted and will tell me they love their school now. They had a great Valentine Party and had way too many sweets.

A Snowy Walk

We took a walk the day after the snow to check out the damage in the neighborhood. We had some damage to a big Live Oak Tree in our yard. Our Crate Myrtle trees were almost touching the ground in the front of our house. We had to walk in the street because we were afraid a tree branch could fall on us or falling snow. The girls were so excited to take Bailey with us. He really enjoyed the walk. Brooke didn't last long she was ready to go back inside. It was a short but good walk.

Snow Fun

I can't believe we got 12 inches of snow. I picked the girls up from school and we waited for daddy to get home so we could build a snowman. It was so much fun to watch them hard at work with the snowman parts. Brooke really got into rolling her snowball as well as Presley. We finished the snowman and then did snow angels. The girls were enjoying themselves up until daddy hit Presley with a snowball on her cheek. She laughed at first and then realized it hurt or was cold and then proceeded to cry. Daddy felt terrible and Presley wouldn't let it go. I think her feelings were more hurt than anything. So that ended our snow play. It amazes me how long children can be cold and wet but continue to play even when they are freezing. I remember being the same way. I loved playing outside when I was little.

Chuck E. Cheese

We took the girls to Chuck E. Cheese one Sunday and Tom and Brenda met us there with Aleck and Ella. These were the only pictures I took. The girls really love that place but man can you spend some cash in such a short while. It was crazy but fun. My favorite was watching the girls play air hockey that is my all time favorite game so it was neat for them to like it as much as I do. The next was Skeeball, I love that one too but they were not able to throw the balls so they would walk up the lane and then throw the ball. I assumed it was okay for them to do it because noone ever told us not to walk up the skeeball game. I should have taken a picture but the memories are just as good for me. It was a fun evening and the girls slept so well that night.
