A Beautiful Week

 Claire

We got a list of her classmates this past week so she could write all her Valentines and Shay wanted to help by folding them in half and giving Claire the ones she wanted. It was a fun project to work on and it got them excited for Valentine's Day which of course Claire will enjoy because they have a party, but I'm looking for ways to make it good for Shay. Claire's snack one day was goldfish so she became a cat so she could eat it off the floor, Shay copied her too and I just laughed at them. Their games are so silly sometimes! I love how they like to teach the scriptures and this week we had to teach them how to take turns because they are getting bad at sharing. I look at the picture of them in their PJs and see them not covering as much of their legs as they used to! These girls are getting taller, even though things still fit them, they are creeping up their legs.

Shay

I'm glad we had some good weather this week because we got to go to the park, I don't have to shovel snow while this pregnant, and it is beautiful. Shay made a very cute little friend at the park that started following her around smiling and Shay kept trying to give her things. I did some meal prep and bought regular-size carrots instead of baby carrots and both girls like to eat a whole one and act like bunnies. Carrots are Shay's favorite veggies and really the only kind she will eat without bribing her and this is a way she will eat even more, even asking for it as a snack! Our bedtime routine has become pretty fun because the girls can get in their PJs all by themselves, they usually brush their teeth on their own (and make a mess), we do scriptures and pray then either they want to race or get carried by daddy to bed. I walk behind them so I can tuck them in and let them kiss my baby bump and me before saying good night. I hope we can keep up with it when I'm distracted with the baby and taking care of him.
