Life Lately!

We had a great short week! Here's a little peek at what we've been up to around here...

More fine motor activities...this time we were painting with Qtips cut in half :)

Every Tuesday we go to storytime at the library, and it's one of the highlights of our week! I love our library & the fact that there is an amazing park right behind the library is just icing on the cake! We walked over to the park after storytime to play with a couple friends, and the girls had the best time as always! I never really thought about it before, but my friend at the park commented how amazed she was that Hadley held her own on the playground with the other "big kids" and didn't stay close to Shelby at all. Again, I never really thought about it until Anne mentioned it, but Hadley really is a lot more confident and outgoing in new social settings that Shelby was at this age. I think that confidence in Hadley comes from having her big sister with her though. I love that they have each other!

We had to wake this sleepyhead up from her nap on Tuesday, I guess all that running around the park wore her out! She cracks me up b/c if she ever has a hoodie on, she always has to put the hood on while she's in her crib. ;)  She was also trying to hide from my camera in this picture!

 

Waking up our sleepyhead from nap again on Wednesday, the flash made her start to stir which is why the pic is kind of blurry. Ever since she was little bitty, she's always liked to snuggle with her bumper pads. :)

 

Between these next two pictures, I felt like I was channeling my inner Emily! ;)  I texted my sister this next pic b/c I knew she would be so proud..my first time ever wearing leggings with a long tunic! It was a big moment for me. ;)

And I always love when Emi wears glitter on her nails, so I totally did it this week, too! It was fun!! Of course Shelby {who always does patterns with her nail polish and weird color combinations} told me that putting glitter only on one finger was "pretty weird." ;) 

Aside from dinner with the Goins at Bigz on Friday evening & church today, we've been home pretty much all weekend and it's been delightful! With all of our time at home, I was so happy we finally got to decorate gingerbread houses! We got all the fixings for gingerbread houses & gingerbread men and had planned to do them over Christmas with my parents, but we just ran out of time. The box of stuff has just been collecting dust at the bottom of our pantry ever since then. The girls were thrilled with this activity on a cold morning, and I was thrilled to reclaim the space in my pantry! ;)

Have a great week, everyone!! :)
