Fabulous February

 Claire

She has been asking for princess music, first when we were in the car driving to the dentist for Shay, then again when we were dressed up for church. We have dance parties and whenever we watch movies together and there is a song she gets up from being comfy together and dances to the song. She has several favorites but I love it most when both of them get up and try to act out the songs together. Chris says I'm poisoning them with all the Disney, but she chooses the life all on her own...I think. We got a couple packages this week and Claire was excited to play with them and ended up turning one into a robot by punching through the bottom to get her head through. I cut out arm holes for her and made one for Shay then they colored buttons on them with our crayons and played it a few times this week. They didn't survive very long, but it was cute and fun.

Shay

This week Shay had a nap almost every day and Claire even joined her for one when they both fell asleep cuddling me and I had to sneak away. They get along pretty well with some things and are used to sleeping next to each other, but other things are huge sources of stress between them. Luckily, they play more often than they fight and I get some amazing moments of cuteness when they use their toys to play out adventures. We got a small slide for the backyard that they had a lot of fun with and will be even better when they can slide into the pool during the summer! Shay likes to rope daddy into dancing with her whenever he is out while they are dancing together, and he loves it.

Date

Chris and I were able to go out on an early Valentine's Day date this past Friday while the girls spent time with their adopted nana. We dressed up in red and had some Korean food at an Asian market then went shopping to find some things to cook our own yummy food. We talked about how we are so good at dating each night once the girls go to sleep by playing games or watching shows and movies that going out for a date is weird. He also commented how he likes the way I make the Korean food more than the place we ate so might as well just do it at home! Sometimes it is nice to have someone else cook for me though so going out is great. The girls wanted to take pictures with us after we got back and I remembered I was trying to do more pictures this week.
