The day before Sasha's birthday...

I drive the girls to school in the mornings. I should have known something was going on this morning because Sasha was very quiet the entire ride. We arrive at school and stop the car, Lola breaks out laughing so hard. I looked at the two girls and was shocked to discover that Sasha had written all over her face with a ball point pen. We walk into her class still laughing and were greated by Owen who loves to give Sasha hugs. They were both oblivious to what her face looked like...must be love!

My mom and I took Lola and Sasha to the toy store the day before Sasha's birthday to see what kind of toys she may like for her birthday. We had so much fun playing with all the toys, bikes, and dancing Elmo's. What a great way to spend the afternoon...making a mess someplace besides our house. I think I'm going to make a day of it next week...pack a lunch and bring a blanket (they have bed's).

We went to Woody's afterward for dinner...the girls love pasta with broccoli.

Fabulous day- I don't have to clean up toys or dishes!!!

Rainbow

We were so lucky to catch this amazing
rainbow
I have never seen these colors in the sky before
I told my girls that there's a
pot of gold

Happy Birthday to me & Jenya

What a wonderful birthday dinner I had!

I love celebrating my birthday, being with family, & eating fantastic dinners.

We met at Giannies to have a dinner for mine and Jenya's birthday's. So much fun! I got great gifts from everyone- especially my Mooge- he bought me two pairs of new shoes...oh how he spoiles me! One of the pairs is in the photograph of Andy and Susan above and another gorgeous pair that I actually had been wearing on my feet! How cute- he got me a pair I already had- we all got such a good laugh from that one!

I {HEART} my birthday

MAKE UP? WHAT MAKE UP?

Walked into my bathroom the other day and found Sasha in my make up and wearing my shower cap. My first reaction was to get annoyed but then I realized just how tempting mommy's make up is. For being such a wild girl, Sasha is so girly- loves purses, high heeled shoes, & now MAC.

This day makes me proud to have daughters...

Fresh Blooms

I love flower arrangements and I would love to learn how to make these pretties. I wish every room of my house would have a fresh floral display. I have a girlfriend who had Calla Lillies delivered to her house every Thursday. What a spoiled girly....I am so jealous!

Oh Lola

Oh Lola

Lola and I designed this today. Lola is becoming a great little artist, she loves to paint, color, collect, and scrapbook with me...I get so excited thinking about having a great partner to work with for years to come! I love that she is ultra girly and that she can pick an outfit from head to toe. She knows her color combinations and how to accessorize. I love this fashionista!!!!

First nice day of...

Spring
Lola had a dress rehearsal for her ballet/tap class a few nights ago.
She did a great job- she's so damn cute!
I would love for her to be a ballerina but I think she may be more of a
contemporary dancer.

Afterward we met the Lome's and went on their boat for a cruise and dinner.
It was the first ride of the season.
The ice just melted on the lake a day ago...
BRRRRRRR
It was a long winter, so getting out today on the lake was amazing!

Sidewalk painting with my girls

It's the start of spring and the girls and I went to the toy store and bought sidewalk paint. We had a fun time making paintings on the sidewalk in front of our house. Sasha went a bit nuts and started painting all over herself and her clothes...she was totally covered. I know you don't find this too hard to believe from all of the other stories I have told you about my girl.

I am so excited for spring- I am sick of long Minnesota winters! We were couped up all winter that it's so glorious to get out and play. Look at the trees in the background of the the pictures...no leaves on the trees....bring it on already!!!!!!
