Little M Sings her ABCs!!

Little M surprised us recently when she started singing her ABCs. It's difficult to understand her at times, but she's doing a pretty good job. Some of the things she's been saying lately are so cute...can't believe she's growing up so fast! She loves to dress up in a leotard saying, "me ballerina". When she first wakes up of a morning, she's always asking where her big sister is. They are having a fun time together and it's been fun watching them "play" together.

Make sure you turn the blog music player off so you can hear Little M. Hope you enjoy her singing video!

Gingerbread person

Big M was given a gingerbread person to decorate for this month's family project at Country Lane Elementary. She decided to make it a gingerbread "girl". Puffy paint for hair, Froot Loops for eyes, rick-a-rack for a mouth, a marshmallow outlined dress (with sequin buttons, of course), and button shoes. The girl wasn't complete until she had added a bracelet from round stickers and blue puffy paint hair clips (although those are difficult to see). It was fun...now to see what projects are up next!



Fun with Little M at Bouncy Barn

We hadn't visited Bouncy Barn for quite some time...Big M seemed to be outgrowing it and Little M seemed too young the last time. I had an errand to do right next to their new location on Monday, so we decided to check it out. I'm so glad we went...it was snowing outside and there were only 2 other kids the whole time we were there. Little M had a great time, as you can see in the photo below. I'm sure we'll be back to visit soon since she had such a great experience!





On another note, we've been trying to video Little M dancing. It's so cute and really does get us tickled. Of course, when we start recording, she doesn't show us her best moves. Here's a little video, although you really need to see her dance to music in person . :)

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year! I caught a picture of the girls just before heading off to school the first day back from Christmas break. While it was nice not having to be on our regular routine, the two weeks just flew by...a couple of playdates for Big M, travel to Guthrie to see Charley's family, travels to LA to see my parents. We baked our "Christmas" cookies for Santa, too. It was messy, but I think both girls had a great time. :)




Just like the Thanksgiving turkey we disguised, we also had a Christmas ornament to decorate. Here's how Big M's turned out. Lots of fun, but this thing weighs a ton with all of the candy she put on it.
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and wishing you a great 2011!
