When you teach a child to write....

They will ban their sister from their room... 

Cally's note read, 'No Addy in my room'. Although Cally's 'd's look like 'b's, she got her meaning across. Addy immediately made and posted her own retaliatory sign. These are the years.... ;)

TV Thursday

David was the lucky recepient of a brand new TV. It was his Christmas, birthday, valentines and anniversary gift all rolled into one expensive rectangle. :) He was thrilled and while Addy says the new TV is too fancy (poor girl takes after me and shuns change) she thought the box and packaging were perfect! ;)

We gifted the old TV (it belonged to the old owners of our house) on David's work intranet. Our living room looks so much bigger without that monster taking up a quarter of it. First world problems, right?

A sweet Valentines...

One of the perks of a small school is that there is no issue with bringing a younger sibling to a class party. Truthfully, Cally hasn't missed many of Addy's class parties. Addy does a great job of including Cally too. :)

Here is David during our sweet Valentine's Day meal. We had a wonderful evening out while the girls enjoyed a kids' night out at the zoo.

 

Dress up fun!

Addy and Cally attended a super fun dress up birthday party. The girls all got to choose a fancy dress, accessories and nail polish (other girls chose a little make up too). Their party favors were a 4x6 photo in a card that was used to collect autographs from the other party guests. It was such a simple idea but so well carried out! 

Cally's pose, I love that her bright red dress totally suits her personality. All the girls posed to Katy Perry's song Roar, so that is why they look ready to attack! 

Addy's picture totally reminds me of a little old lady who was transported back into time to her youth. I love both of their pictures! 

Medals

Addy loves her pin collection. She has discovered that it is actually not very comfortable to wear while sleeping. 

Cally wanted me to document her nighttime attire as well. :) Love these two characters... It is nuts how fast they are growing up! 

Before school cuddle time

Addy and Fluffy have quite the morning routine. Cally devotes her attention to Bandit. Poor Jiffy wanders back and forth between the girls sneaking pets. 

Sleepover magic!

Or was it sleepover madness? Addy and Cally had their first non-family sleepover this weekend. I wasn't sure how it would go, but I have to say it went really well! The girls all had a great time and David and I were super impressed wth how fantastic the girls were. 

Cally was a 'little' tired that afternoon. ;)
