Pretty as a picture?!?

 Proving that, yet again, it is absolutely impossible to get a decent smiling picture of our girls.

 Thanks, Stephie!

The best way to end a meal

Daddy is teaching the girls all about the importance of eating a rainbow of foods at every meal.  Red tomato sauce, orange sweet potatoes, yellow pasta, green broccoli...

 ...yum!

 Hmmm...what could Stephie be looking for after such an array of food?

Haley, do you have any idea?

Aha!!!

ZERT!

Springtime sweeties

 Special thanks to Mimi's stepmother Lee for the gorgeous monogrammed matching dresses!  Haley and Stephie love to be outside in any way, shape, or form.

That's quite the party!

First, sweet Haley fell asleep in the car on the way to lunch.  Good thing that Poppie was there to lend a shoulder.

 No sleeping for big girl Stephie, though.  Why, you ask?

 She had ponies to ride!

 Stephie and Mommy went to Siena's 3rd birthday party where there were not one but TWO ponies to ride.  This guy's name is Buttercup.

 Stephie took a break to bounce on the princess bouncy castle...

 ...before round two with Smoothie.

 We think Siena's parents perhaps set the bar a little bit too high!  What's next...buying each kid a pony to take home?!?

Where are we going???

**Extra credit to anyone who can identify the children's television show that this post references!** 

Who do we ask when we don't know which way to go?  The map, of course.  Say MAP!

 How do we find our way home for lunch?  First, we take a tug boat across the scary church nursery.

 Then, we make silly faces to scare away Swiper.

 Say, "Swiper, no swiping!"

 We did it!  Thanks for helping, gracias!

Arboretum in bloom

It was a beautiful spring day to explore the arboretum at lunch time.

 Don't jump in, Haley!

 Why don't you pump some of your own water instead?

 Snack break.

 Some for Haley too, please.

 Afterward, there was plenty of time for more water...

 ...and beautiful flowers.

 We love spring!

Tearing up someone else's house

Hmmm, what can we get into today?

A spot of tea, perhaps?

 A big pile of Duplos?

 Or perhaps scale Ava's couch for fun?

 There's always playing with baby dolls...

 ...lounging on chairs...

 ...tea parties...

 ...and lunch.

 Apparently Haley doesn't discriminate as to which cabinets to tear into, either.

 Wow, this one has a microwave!

 Finally, do everything possible while coloring...

 ...to draw on the carpet as well.

 Fun!

 The face of innocence:

 Something tells Mommy this wont' be the last Mardi Gras beads that Haley sees in her lifetime!
