Work and rewards

This is how we spend our time after dinner every night: lots of learning board games...

(sometimes Haley gets to play too!)

...followed by coloring...

...and if the girls are really good, time in the basement!  Check out our new slide.  We garbage-picked it.  Awesome!

Motoring around

Some better pictures of here-comes-trouble in her hot pink Mustang:

 Meanwhile, big sis was zooming around on her new wheels!

 There were a few close calls.

 Reunited:

 Also, the girls got to meet Gracie, a 10-week old boxer puppy.  Hot pink cars and puppies?  What a weekend!

Visiting Grandma Lois

It was a beautiful morning in St. Louis, perfect for a bike ride.


Uh oh, look who is at the wheel!


Baby loves going for a ride.


We had a great visit with Grandma Lois. The girls each got a giant Easter bunny!


Yes, Haley really did push Grandma in her chair. Haley defies the normal laws of humanity in many ways.

McMagic house

The Magic House opened late today for a school event (who knew?) so we wound up here instead.

 There was an unidentified brown substance in one of the tunnels.  We hope it was chocolate.

 Finally, the Magic House was open!  Stephie added to her penny collection.

 A gourmet dinner:

 Sisters in the garden:

Poor Lambie!

Awww, isn't that sweet?  Lambie came to gymnastics.

Well, maybe not so sweet after all.

Seriously, poor Lambie.

Basement.  An awesome day!

Stephie's first piano lesson

Stephie had her first piano lesson tonight!  Stephie was waiting for her teacher, Tahnee, to arrive.  When she did, Stephie yelled, "Mommy, she's here!"  After answering the door, I turned around to notice Stephie already seated at the bench with a huge smile on her face, ready to go!

 Meanwhile, Monster was keeping busy in the kitchen.

 "I need water with ice."
