Here comes Peter Cottontail

Today was our annual KAMOM Easter egg hunt at the local Montessori school's playground.  It was the perfect place for an egg hunt with play equipment for every age, a sandbox, and a bathroom.  Claire was happy in the sandbox the entire party ,and Natalie was busy trying to fill her basket with eggs and then lug her basket all over the playground.  The Easter bunny made an appearance and Natalie was content being near it after some encouragement.  Claire also would get pretty close but she was definitely nervous.  Her hands would shoot up to her mouth and she would start biting her nails when the bunny was in site. 

Strawberry pickin

We returned to Froberg Farm again this year to pick strawberries.  Claire immediately started eating the first three berries she picked.  After a quick explanation from her daddy that we can only eat them after we pay, she didn't put another berry in her mouth.  I'm so proud of her for listening so well.  Natalie was very concerned with the baby strawberries, and we definitely came home with some miniature ones.

Happy Belated Valentines Day

For some reason, I thought I had previously posted these.  I'd hate to deprive you of these precious girls and their honest approach to cookie decorating.

Texas Bluebonnets

Thank goodness for Aunt LaLa, or else I would have never been able to take pictures of the girls in the famous Texas bluebonnets.  She helped chase the girls while I tried to get a decent shot.   We found a ditch in Kingwood two years ago that had bluebonnets, and here's what we were able to capture then:

There weren't as many this time around, mainly because it was later in the season.  But I think it was enough for a few pics.  Natalie was terrified at first to sit on the ground.  She was so scared a bug was going to get her.

 

 

 

What are you doing these days?

Well, girls, you are 32 months old and here's a list of your milestones:

-can sing your ABC's
-just figured out you can stick a raisin up your nose
-ask "Where does _______ come from?"  When we are talking about a new subject.
-can sing "You are my sunshine"
-know to hide under the table or in a corner when you shouldn't be playing with mommy and daddy's stuff
-want to do everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) "by myself"
-one of your favorite games is to pretend an alligator is chasing us, and we have to hide on the couch or a bed so  it doesn't "chomp you"
-you are probably your happiest when you are playing in dirt, mud, sand

Oh, and here's a couple pics that display what you've been up to:
