Welcome Springtime

This weekend was busy but fun! Saturday Darby has swimming, and then we took Corgan for her first haircut. We took her to Sweet and Sassy where Darby gets her haircut, and they do this cut little "First Haircut package". It was adorable. She was scared at first, but did great. I was having second thoughts all day about cutting it, but it looks adorable and I am so glad I did it.
Saturday night Caitlyn came over for a play date and the girls all played well together and had a blast.
Sunday was Easter and it was a BEAUTIFUL day. We were surrounded by Family and the girls had so much fun playing with thier cousins outside.
The Easter bunny was good to us all, and we are all very excited for Spring and warm temperatures!

Easter Eggs!

Last night the girls colored Easter Eggs and we had a GREAT time!
Corgan liked to throw the eggs into the dye, she wasn't really about placing them in gently. Darby liked to draw cool designs or write words on them. They really worked together, and we had a very good family night. I would say my girls are very excited for the Easter Bunny's arrival this evening.
We plan on hitting an Easter Egg hunt later, and both girls will have a few tomorrow so it should be a fun weekend. The weather sounds like it is supposed to be beautiful as well!

It's Mosey

The phone rang at work yesterday afternoon. On the other end of the line I heard the sweetest voice. "Hi Momma! I Pee Pee potty School!"
Corgan called to tell me she went to the bathroom at school. I could hear how proud she was, so when I got home I asked her about it. My usual response is to clap and jump up and down, and as soon as I did that she giggled and started making funny faces.
I realized yesterday my baby is a little girl. Don't get me wrong she has been giving clues that this is happening. For example she knows her shapes, her colors, many letters of the alphabet, and how to count in Spanish (and she hasn't watched Dora a day in her life)
Corgan is my little comedian. She is always trying to make us laugh. She declares "I funny!" quite often.
She is loosing her "baby fat" and is sprouting up. I think she MAY be taller than Darby soon, as she already reaches her shoulder.
It's amazing how fast time flies, and I really need to remember to slow down and relish each and every moment with my little girls.
Darby and I sing a song to Mo all the time.
Whose the silliest girl in town?
"It's Mosey"
Whose the cutest girl around?
"it's Mosey"
The song goes on and on, because there are so many wonderful things about Corgan, or Mo as I like to call her.

3rd Quarter???

Say it ain't so.. Darby has only one quarter left of Kindergarten. It seems like only yesterday she was testing to see if she could get in,and Mike and I were trying to decide whether to send our little 4 year old to school.
Today Darby got her 3rd report card, and it was full of 1's (A's), and E's (Exceeds expectations). We are so proud of out little Boo. It amazes me the things she works on each day, and I cannot believe the things she has learned the past 7 months. She has put in a lot of hard word in the core program, and she loves to learn. We surprised her after dinner, and took her to Maggie Moo's for ice cream, and to go pick out a new bike. It was a wonderful night, despite the snow flurries! Hopefully they melt soon, and she can hit the pavement on her new wheels!

Busy Bees

This weekend was very busy! Darby had a lot going on. She was quite the social butterfly. Saturday started off with swim lessons at Millard South. She LOVED it. Every day she says, I wish I had swimming lessons today. I feel bad I didn't do it sooner but I am glad she is loving it! She had a gymnastics birthday party on Saturday for her friend Kylie, and Sunday her friend Elliot had a Tea Party birthday party. She had so much fun at each.
Corgan was getting inventive and stir crazy on Sunday. She put on an old winter hat, gloves, a sweater and underpants to go "shopping".
We had a wonderful weekend, and are looking forward to some warmer weather this week!

Weekend Warrior

The weekend flew by. Saturday I got up early and got Darby signed up for swimming lessons at Millard South. I got a pretty crummy time slot (10:30) which happens to be right during the Zumba class I like, so Mike will take her some weekends. Then Mike needed to help a friend move, so the girls and I went out for lunch, and shopped. Darby was really into picking out clothes, and she really doesn't need more clothes but I let her loose. I allowed her to pick out a few things. She fell in love with this yellow shirt that came with a scarf. She put it on as soon as we got home. She wore the scarf around her waist, in her hair, and around her neck.. TOO cute. She is all about fashion. I have no clue who this child belong to. Darby got to play outside with the neighbor girls too.. COME ON SPRING!!!
We also had picnic and movie night as usual, and the girls brought their anywhere chairs out and enjoyed the show. We watched Where the Wild Things are, which may be a bit old for the girls, even though they saw most of it at the theatre with their Daddy. Corgan roared throughout, and Darby cried at the end because she wanted Max to stay.

So you think you can have a weekend???

The weekend started off right. We had picnic and movie night on Friday as usual, and we watched Coraline, which is one of my favorites. Saturday I tried a Zumba class for the first time, and was feeling like getting outside only to find Darby wanted to be a homebody. We did have a lot of quality family time at home, that's for sure!
I figured it wasn't a big deal, and convinced her of a trip to the makeup store (Ulta) later in the evening.
Then Saturday night around 1am, started the worst night in recent memory. Corgan was sleeping in my bed, and Darby snuck in too. Mike tried to come to bed, but was too tired to fight with the girls so let them stay.
That's when the stomach flu hit Corgan.. And Darby's hair. Can you say EWWWWWW
Showers, laundry and 3 hours later we finally got some rest. Since my bed was indisposed I slept on Darby's floor.. Zumba + floor sleeping = am I really this old?
I am praying for spring and warm weather, and that health is our friend!
