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

Mommy-Daughter Night

Thursday night, Isaac went to play poker with some of Sunstate's biggest customers (and soon to be customers). Since he left around 4:30 and didn't come home until well after Grace and I were asleep, we got to have a whole mommy-daughter night! I get to spend every night with her, but having quality time with just the two of us is pretty rare. This means that nights alone with mom get to be extra special treats for both of us! When Daddy left, Grace asked "ah da da?" about one hundred times. Once she got over the fact that he was gone, we had a lot of fun. We started the night out watching Wall-E and building castles out of Mega Blocks. Then, Grace helped me unload the dishwasher while our dinner finished cooking: She's the best helper ever! We had pasta, corn, garlic bread, and cut up Beddar Cheddar brats for dinner; some of Grace's favorite things: After that it was bath time.  Once she got all clean, we played with her Dora foam soap. Grace really

Junior Ranger Day

Saturday was Junior Ranger Day at the Water Safety Center at Lake Mead.   Isaac's brother, Zacarias, was working and invited us to come down and check it out.   We're always up for anything that the girls might have fun at, so we got ready and headed down to the lake. It was right next to where my parents dock their boat, so it was pretty easy to find.   When we first got there, Grace was a little shy and skeptical about everything. It took her a while to warm up.   We found Uncle Zac by the fire truck and Grace hesitantly climbed inside with him:     She was a little afraid until I took her to the front of the trucks and showed her the lights. Then she thought it was "sooo cool!"       Charley was pretty curious and kept wanting to check everything out:       Grace saw Uncle's helmet and thought that was pretty neat. Then Daddy checked it out, too:       Since Charley was so curious, Daddy gave her a b
