2012 Project Life Week 21

2012 photos - week 8

Hannah (didn't really need a band-aid, but made the "owie" feel better apparently)


Hannah

Carried her inside from the van, and she looked so sweet.


Hannah made a "doggie bone" out of legos, then proceeded to be a doggie!


Mary's a little disgruntled with me that I reprimanded her for smooshing some raspberries

Surprise package from Papaw and Grandma Darlene - M/H

Lego creations - M/H


Hannah has been my trouble maker recently - being determined to get something that I've just told her not to touch. This is a couple instances of her determined-ness. {sigh} The bag of hair ties (or "duck-tales") was in the cabinet and the ducky game they are playing was on top of the cabinets(the changing table was moved and she climbed and stood on it. I only know it was Hannah because Mary came and told me "Mom! Sissy clim-in'!"


Enjoyed a sniff of snow on Wed. Here they are teeter-tottering all by themselves. I had a hold of it at first and Hannah told me "I do it myself, Mommy" I was reluctant, but I let them try - and they did! M/H

Just enough snow to pull a sled easily.

2012 photos - week 5

This post is kinda photo heavy... but that's ok! :)
Daddy had a birthday...The girls were excited! Mary picked out the cake and Hannah picked out the candles.


I did good and remembered something my hubby had mentioned months ago - a shirt that said "D.A.D.D. - Dads Against Daughters Dating" (M/H)


Hung out my diapers to dry in the pretty sunshine (and it's cute that my sweater won't button in front over my growing belly)


Mary playing in a dress up dress/ Hannah makes a chair out of a tunnel from her tent.


We enjoyed some time outside early in the week. When I asked the girls if they wanted to play outside, they immediately said "Dig in rocks?" That's their favorite outside activity right now.


While outside, we saw several flocks of geese flying overhead. Mary started waving at them.



My girlies waving to the moon (white speck in top center). So cute!

2012 photos - week 4

Just got done editing the weeks photos for my Project Life 2012 album. Here's the best ones:

2 girlies and one kitty snuggle with Daddy for some TV time before bed (H/M)


Mandy (the kitty) has been lots braver and has been upstairs more in the last month. She let Hannah get her twice this morning, and Mary tucked them in under a blankie for some snuggles.


Twins on a sit and spin... and they worked together and got it to spin. I wonder as they get older, if they will thrive working in groups or with a partner, or if since they've always had a "partner" in life, if they will seek and thrive working alone. Will be interesting to see. (M/H)


This is a fairly common occurence... they don't want Daddy to leave. They tend to be Daddy's girls (he's more fun, I guess!)


If I didn't know that Mary is not doing as well with potty training and is wearing the diaper in this photo, I don't think there is any way that I'd know which baby is which. I can't see their face full on,or even the back of their heads full on (their hair swirls are different), so it's really hard for me on this one and I can't pick out a difference between them. In instances like this, I'm reminded they're identical... their faces look so much different to me, that I still sometimes wonder (but we have the DNA test to prove they are, and most everyone else we know can't see a difference!) (H/M)


I see my OB on March 5 for the big biophysical ultrasound at 20 weeks (1/2 way point in the pregnancy) I'm getting excited. By this point with the girls, we'd seen them on ultrasound several times. And I'm anxious to find out if I'm carrying a boy or another girl. AND, I'm really anxious to confirm to myself that it's just one baby! :)

2012 photos - week 3

Macaroni and cheese with hot dogs was on the menu for this night, and since I had taken a nice Sunday afternoon nap, James and the girls started dinner. Hannah is such a big helper here!


Mary fell asleep on the couch one afternoon, and I thought she looked so sweet! Getting a little worried that she still sucks her thumb to go to sleep, but at least it's not all the time.


Minutes later, Hannah comes up and says "I cover Sissy up!" And she had covered Mary with all the dress up clothes she could find! I uncovered her head, but let Hannah enjoy her project. Silly girl!


Mary enjoys a book in the sunlight.

2012 photos - week 1

The girls' grandparents when together and got a train table for the girls. They enjoy it. It ends up mostly in pieces, but they play with those just as much!



Buddy and Marissa - Mandy still won't accept Buddy as a snuggle partner. She's missing out!
