"Stand up tall," I said

and I got snowmen:
After being tall, everyone knows you have to get small:

A new baby

Ruby's favorite baby got hurt (cloth body, ripped). Until I found time to fix it, Ruby had to find a replacement baby. This is what she came up with:
Here she is singing to her baby:

Lil made me a cake!

Isn't it great?

"I broke it, Momma."

Accidentally, I'm sure.

A Good Little Mommy

The other day I had a really bad headache. When I told Cora my head hurt, she took my face in her hands and pulled me down so she could kiss my forehead. A bit later I was lying on the couch. Lil was very kindly keeping the girls occupied in the kitchen. Then Cora slipped away from Lil and asked me, "Momma, need a blanket?" I didn't respond, but she put a blanket on me, anyway. (It was a doll blanket.) A few minutes later, Cora was back to bring me a baby doll to snuggle with.

What's not to admire?

Christmas (Clearance) Dresses

When these cute dresses got down to $3 I just couldn't pass them up.
Cute dresses on cute girls, what could be better?

Notice the height difference on the girls: in the first picture Cora is crouching slightly. In the second picture both girls are standing fairly straight. I was rather shocked to notice just how much taller Cora is.

Nice Weather

The weather has been beautiful here this week. After so many months of cold and snow it was nice to be able to get out. We went to the park three days in a row (I forgot my camera, three days in a row). That, apparently, is all it takes to make a habit for my girls. On Friday they were expecting to go to the park. All my reasoning of rain and cooler weather didn't seem to matter to them at all. When they finally figured out we weren't going anywhere they got quite mad at me. Life is tough, when you're two. :-)

Just some random happiness
