Day 37: Fun with the clubhouse!

For Christmas the girls' Mimi and Pops got them a play set that has two tunnels, a clubhouse and a tent. Before today the girls had only ever seen the tunnels. But since we had the big snow storm we decided they needed something new to play with, so last night Ben and I put the clubhouse together. The girls love it! They had so much fun playing in it and around it today. It definitely made being stuck in the house a little easier. Here are Paige and Virginia in the clubhouse with their daddy. Notice Ben's legs sticking out the side.

Day 36: The calm before the storm

We are currently getting a major snow storm, so before the snow started this morning I took the girls and Jefferson outside for a walk. I thought we could all use some fresh air. The girls loved it! They were so happy to be walking around outside. They took turns walking Jefferson and even played in the snow from Tuesday night's storm a little bit. The girls went on to take a really good nap this afternoon, so I think the fresh air did them well. About two minutes after we got back inside I looked out the back door and noticed it was snowing. I'm so glad we went out when we did. Here's Paige walking Jefferson with Virginia walking ahead of them.

Day 35: Paige's hair

When I picked the girls up from daycare yesterday Paige's hair was in a ponytail (her second one ever). After the girls finished eating their dinner Ben took the ponytail out of Paige's hair. This picture was taken probably 30-45 minutes after he took the ponytail out, but you can still see exactly where the ponytail was. Paige's hair is still sticking up from it today!

Day 34: More snow

This is what I saw when I looked outside this morning. We got about 5 or 6 inches of snow last night and it was wet snow, so it stuck to the trees. The trees looked beautiful this morning with the snow on them. They're not as pretty now without the snow. But they won't be snowless for long since we're supposed to get another snow storm Friday and Saturday.

Day 33: Virginia and Turtle

My brother gave me this turtle pillow for my 21st birthday. Over the past few years Jefferson has taken it over. He spends a good portion of this day laying on it and/or licking it (which drives Ben and I crazy). This evening Virginia climbed up on the couch and hugged the turtle pillow to her. I couldn't resist the photo opportunity.

Day 32: My little boy

You're right, I don't have any sons, just two daughters, but the first "child" that Ben and I got together was our dog, Jefferson. He's such a good boy (most of the time) and is great with the girls. We're so lucky that we got such a laid back dog 6 and a half years ago when we got him. Here's Jefferson on the back of the couch- his favorite place to hang out.

Day 31: Virginia and Daddy

YAY, I made it a whole month without missing a day! Now only 11 more months...

Virginia was very tired this morning, so tired she didn't make it to nap time before she fell asleep. She curled up on Ben's lap and laid there for awhile trying to stay awake, but got to a point where she couldn't keep her eyes open anymore and fell asleep on his lap. He repositioned her so it was more comfortable for both of them and she slept like this for 15 or 20 minutes before we put both girls in their cribs.
