{This Week}

Whew...hardly time to breathe...let alone post!

I guess I shouldn't really say that...there has been lots of time to breathe...and that's a good thing.

The girls have returned to school

Dave has gone back to work and

life is returning some what back to normal.

I love having them all home

really I do,

but routines and schedules

we're pretty good friends

we go way back I guess.:)

{can you hear the slurping sound effects?}

Aubrey and I had a pretty low key week

lots of time at home

lots of time for play

lots of time for snuggling

sounds perfect huh?

It pretty much was.

This morning the girls got ready for school a bit on the early side.

Must have been all that sleep from the night before.

They were in bed at 7:30...they both needed it.

First week back wore them out I guess.

They decided to take advantage of their extra time with a little Friday Morning Dance Party.

We were dancing to this catchy number from the Tangled soundtrack.

Seen the movie yet?

LOVED IT!!!

{someone wanted nothing to do with sitting still for a group shot}

It was so sweet...the girls had an argument earlier and as they were getting ready to leave I heard Janey say,

"Look Riley it's snowing....when we were arguing before it was raining...God must be happier now that we   worked it out 'cause he made it snow for us!!"

Love that little girl.

Aubrey and I took a quick trip to the mall today

for no reason what so ever other then to get out of the house.

It was fun.

We saw the puppies,

avoided the play area and

had a pretzel.

I let her our of the stroller as we were about to leave.

She thought she was pretty much big stuff walking around carrying her bag of animal crackers.

I got her to let me pick her up again

by making strange faces with my head thrown back and my tongue out...

I told her we were heading outside in the snow

We could catch snowflakes on our tongues

She loved that....and let me pick her up again without any protests.:)

Funny thing was, as I was walking towards the door doing that a women with a toddler heading in said "heading out to catch snowflakes"?  I guess she had used that trick once before too.

this little sweetie loves yogurt

we freeze those tubes and then break them in half for her

The last few days after lunch, Aubrey has been going to the bread cabinet, pulling out the package and asking for a piece of bread.  Too funny! Doesn't matter if I give her bread at lunch..she still does it.  Believe me, I've tried.

she usually takes her bread to the family room and runs around in circles with it.

little goof ball

she also thinks it's funny to blow spit bubbles

 I wonder what charming big sister thought that was a necessary life skill to learn!:)

but could she be any cuter?

So there you have it folks.

A sneak peek into our week

peaceful

fun

and never boring!

Hope your Friday is everything you dream it to be!

Enjoy the day,

Cindy
