Two Little Chicks

By -
We spend every weekend trying to decide what fun new things we can do with the girls. We're usually out and about discovering places or enjoying a day at the park.

This Sunday, we were out the door by 7:30 to get to The Coffee Cup (our Sunday spot) before the crowd beat us.

After breakfast, we headed to Trader Joe's to get our weekly shopping done.

We headed home to unload the car, and then we were right back at it.

We stopped at Toys R Us to return some stuff that we accidentally bought the day before (thanks, Grace, for throwing whatever you want in the cart).

Then we headed to the mall to return a couple of items at Express and also bought a few new ones.

By 11:30, we had already accomplished all of our errands for the weekend.

Grace got a sandbox for her last birthday ten months ago, so we decided to spend the rest of the afternoon putting it together. We've been spending lots of time playing in the backyard after work, so it seemed like it was about time to break open the box.

We went to Lowe's to pick up some play sand and then went home to get started.

While we were working, Grace and Charley played in their kiddie pool (and looked adorable doing so).




(Grace found this tiara that Shelly gave her at Noah's birthday party and insisted that I put it in her hair, so "I can see better and be like a princess.")


Grace was quickly ready for a nap, and Charley wanted a snack. Daddy gave her an Apple Grace juice box and some goldfish that she dumped all over the grass while I put a movie on for Grace.



After her snack, Charley waited by the pool for Grace to come back out and play.





Once Grace woke up, the sandbox was ready to go. The girls had so much fun playing in it.










We had a great Sunday hanging out with each other, and it was nice to actually be at home for a change. I love my little family so much. What a blessing these two little chicks are <3

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Picture of the Week: Espejos + Unertls Grace and Charley started their all day soccer camp on Monday. They were excited and nervous, and took selfies on their new phones on the way. The camp was at Longevity Sports Center, and it was a pretty cool facility. It was nice that the girls got to be inside. They did the UNLV soccer camp last year, and it was miserable on the outdoor soccer fields in June. They were really nervous when Daddy left, and sent us these pictures along with texts to come pick them up. We're so mean and made them stick it out. Brother napped at the office. He was being so adorable and alert in his rocker when we got home. Char kept trying to get him to smile. Which meant that Perry had to try, too. After all, she's his big sister. He hung out in his sit-me-up and made all kinds of faces. He got sleepy and napped in his basket. Daddy dropped the girls off fo...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...
