Valentine Cookie Decorators!

Valentine Cookie decorator!

Taking a break from our work to smile... and growl for the Mama-razzi!

Frosting sampler!

A masterpiece!

I couldn't let any frosting go to waste!!

Fun at Papa's

Danni read Papa a bedtime story!

I did Raz-Kids with Papa on the iPad.  

Danni, Auntie Suz, and the Perrys got some cuddle time in!

Papa got new bunk beds for us!  Bedtime was a looooong process!

While I was off track, we headed out to Ventura to play with Papa!  We were so excited to find that he had bought bunk beds for us to sleep in!!!  It took awhile for Danni and I to get un-excited enough about them to go to sleep, though!  ;)  We spent the day shopping with Papa, Auntie Lynn, and Auntie Suz, we had a yummy dinner, then we had a great bunk bed sleep over!  We love to visit Papa!

Nerdy Fun at Science Night!

So proud to take my little sister to school!

Inside a bubble!

Making a bubble wall!

The bubble is bigger than she is!

I take my science very seriously!

Slime time!!

Fun with shadows!  

I made an electrical circuit that lit up a light bulb!  

Our school hosted a Science Night event...  There were about 10 classrooms set up, each with a different hands-on Science experiment for kids to do.  My favorite stations were the electricity station and the slime station!!  We had lots of fun, and learned a few cool things too!

Picnic in the Park

Picnic Basket Teamwork!

Peanut butter sandwiches taste yummier when they're heart-shaped!

Daredevil!

A smile from the top!

The ringmaster...

Sliding down the weird slide... it had no edges to hold you in...

Sweet little climber!

Full of mischief!

Spider boy!

Startin' early...

Mommy and Daddy bribed us...  if we cooperated with Operation Valentine's Day Photo Shoot, then they'd let us have a Valentine picnic in the park.  We were pretty good, so we earned our treat -- we ate heart-shaped peanut butter sandwiches and cookies and drank chocolate milk (and we didn't spill any on our spiffy outfits!)  After our lunch, we had a great time playing on all of the cool new pieces of park equipment!  :)

V-Day Photo Shoot

Danni was not very helpful at first...

Mommy's favorite shot...  or as she says, the one where we look the most normal.

I love my sister!

Smiler Beast!

Sweet little huggers...

Finally, a REAL smile!

Screamers...

And more hugs...

Hide and Beast!

Mommy likes to send out Valentine cards with our picture on them each year, so she always dresses up all matchy-matchy (I must have been naughty this year or something because she made me wear PINK!), and then takes our pictures.  This year's photo shoot was exactly like all of the rest...  way too much silliness, way too little direction-following, a few tears, a few bribes, and a few threats...  At the end of the day, Mommy was grateful to get a decent picture of us both.  Whew!  Does that mean that we're off the hook until next year?!

Sawdust Factory Craftiness

Painting is my favorite part!

Danni helped her blue kitty dry a little faster...

I've only heard about having a GREEN thumb.....

Finishing touches at the speckle station!

All done.  I wanted pictures of Mommy & Daddy, Danni, and Autumn Baby in the frames.

While I was off track, I got to do all kinds of fun activities!  Mommy knows that I love to paint, so she took me to the Sawdust Factory to paint a craft.  I chose a cool picture frame that later was hung on my wall.  I had fun picking the colors and creating my masterpiece!  :)

Little Swimmers!

We dressed ourselves for swimming!

A different set of baby blues for the water!

All ready to do some laps!

Danni is a great kicker!!

And a great licker...  

We get to pick treats from the vending machine if we mind our teachers!

Danni and I LOVE the water.  Luckily, Mommy and Daddy enrolled us in swim lessons this winter so that we can still get our swim fix when it's super cold outside!  We are both doing great -- Danni is learning to keep her face in the water and I can swim all by myself (just not very straight!).  We can't wait to see how good we are when summer rolls around!  :)

Valentine Builders

Hammering like a pro!

All builded and ready for paint!

Posing with our projects :)

Danni was a very careful painter!

She didn't like the way the paint smelled... :)

A post building treat with Autumn Baby! :)

We LOVE to build at Home Depot and are so happy when Mommy and Daddy remember to take us!  For the first Saturday in February, our project was to build and paint a Valentine holder.  I managed to hammer, glue, and paint mine mostly by myself!  Daddy helped with a couple of the directions, but I am getting to be pretty good at doing the construction on my own!  I finished early, so I helped Danni and Autumn Baby wrap theirs up!!  Is it just me or are those orange aprons getting too little for me?!
