M's snowday collage

B's snowday collage

Having fun painting

Showing off our grown up teeth.

B found a pinecone while waiting for M at school.

March in Colorado. Lots of craft days due to snow.

Snow??? REALLY?

After a wonderfully warm week and the tantalizing hints of spring today it is snowing. Actually it is what we called flurries in Ohio. It is just cold and blowing and dusty in the air. Barely made the road wet. It did however wet down the beautiful sidewalk art that was created yesterday by the girls. M had a chance to ride her bike around the block. Hopefully she will be able to lose the training wheels this year. And maybe B can catch on the the a- "Round" part of the pedals not just back and forth with her feet.

Binkfairy and the Toothfairy come to Colorado

So big things this week. B put all her bottles and pacifiers in a nice pink bag and the Binkyfairy came. She gave B a really nice pair of sunglasses and some cute stamps.

M on the other hand became all grown-up. With the pulling of 2 baby teeth to make room for the grown-up ones that are coming in.

And with all the pictures coming from grandma and grandpa cow... we grew our own alligator in the kitchen.

Recycle, Reuse, Repeat

LOOK LOOK LOOK... See our living room? This is about the first time in 3 years that we have. Last weekend Hubby and I put the ginormous desk upstairs in the new playroom. We are going to grace the girls with bunk beds. This morning in less than 4 hours I

1 organized the toys left downstairs.

2 took down B's bed

3 moved B's dresser into the girls room

4 sold the trundle bed and put up a bunk bed

5 got those organized toys upstairs into the new playroom.

Then in less than 4 hours the girls got our every toy they own and trashed the new playroom. But with some great organization they can put it all where it goes pretty quickly.We are also recycling our 2001 Sony Trinitron WEGA TV. It is a flat display. Granted it is about 3 feet deep and weighs more than the girls put together times 4.) We got a new TV for downstairs that I can lift by myself, also a flat screen just one of those new fangled 4 inch deep ones. Tom is VERY VERY EXCITED. something about a Nuggies game tonight. We will be able to see every fan in the stands.

Addendum... M has discovered that she has TWO. not one but TWO!!! loose teeth. Both bottom middle. WOWY WOWY. M says she has to be careful with brushing her teeth cause both will wiggle and maybe fall out.

rhinoplasty and dental work

M is wiggling her first loose tooth! Big girl school, big girl teeth. I am sure there is a boyfriend around the corner and Hubby will be getting ready to fend off the hoards of boys who will be sniffing around. I am as excited as she is to lose a tooth and have the Tooth Fairy visit, but it still makes me want to cry. She is my BABY!

A week later after B's sidewalk rhinoplasty. (She face planted last week at her aunt and uncle's and then was hit in the face with an RC car.) Oh the blood. Never thought a nose could bleed that much.

She found the owie a good chance to make a fashion statement with band aids. We went through Dora, Barbie and Hello Kitty.

You would never know that it was a big ole scab underneath. She hated taking the band aids off though. Hubby's cousin's wife Nancy gave us some terrific advice though and a little mineral oil took most of the sticky off when the band aids had to be changed.

New Coats

New coats for the girls. the girls got new coats this weekend. M is very excited that she now has a "Broncos" coat and wants to add some Bronco bling to make it even more Broncos. B of course got Pink. Because Pink is her FAV or ITE color ever. Goofy girls. They could not have come at a better time. Despite the end of season sales we are definately still in winter. Got lots of snow this morning.
