What exactly is normal anyway?

Because I'm pretty sure we don't have any of that at our house. Here are a few pictures of our weekend.
Thursday Avery had her first gymnastics class and she loved it! They did front and back rolls, walked on the balance beam, hopped on the stars, and I'm sure some other things that I can't remember right now. I was all impressed that she did this trick. Her hands are on the floor, and she walked her feet up the wall. She needed a little help the first time, but after that she could do it.
Reagan has decided she's ready to potty train. She doesn't actually do anything yet, but we spend a great deal of time with her sitting on the potty reading a book and me waiting around for something to get excited about. She found a pair of Avery's "big girl panties" and decided she needed to wear them... maybe by summer she can wear them the right way.
Had a simplistic dinner of peanut butter and crackers last night. As you can see, Reagan really enjoyed it. Is there a facial mask made of peanut butter? If so, she will have perfect skin.
And the most shocking of all... this is a picture of my FOUR year old after she lost her SECOND tooth. It just popped out when we were at the mall on Saturday. I saw something fly and she said, "Mommy, that was my tooth!" So I was down on all fours searching the nasty food court floor for a tooth to put in the tooth box. I found it underneath me so we had something for the tooth fairy.

I love my crazy life.

Skidamarink

Skidamarink a dink a dink
Skidamarink a doo
I love you!

This was Avery's Valentine song this year. It is so cute when she sings it - motions and dancing and all sorts of things that are precious on a 4 year old. We've heard it A LOT... partly because when she's done singing it just sticks in your head and so it keeps going and going and going...

My mom got the girls Valentine outfits that they wore to school on Thursday for their parties. Reagan's didn't survive. Apparently they painted. WOW!!! Brave people to paint in a room full of 1 year olds!

Thank you Grandpa!!!

Thanks to some wonderful church members with older kids we now have a swing set. This weekend Grandpa and Grandma came down to help take it apart, move it, and then put it back together. The girls are having a blast!!! We couldn't have done it without the help of Grandpa and Grandma. Thank you so much! We LOVE having you closer! :)

It seems like just yesterday

that Avery was getting her first tooth.


And now, she's lost one!



My the tooth fairy was good... thanks to Santa getting a gift card free and forgetting to give it to her. That Santa... He's an ok guy.
