Playdate at the park

My girls love slides. They don't even mess with the short slides anymore, they go straight for the long (and in this particular park, bumpy) slides. I don't know how many times they went down the slides, but it was quite a few. Up the stairs, over to the slides, and down. Around and around.
We had fun. We intend to do this again sometime.

Snowman in April

No it didn't just get built, it was earlier this month. But, it was still in April.
For some reason the snowman looks a little shorter when Ray is standing next to it.

Ruby Cuteness

Cora Likes to Dress Herself

But she can't always get things on where they are supposed to go. So she does the best she can.

Pants:

Shoes:

This video shows that she knows where the shoes are supposed to go and what they are for. She just can't quite get them on her feet by herself. (I don't know why there is a weird clicking noise throughout the video, sorry.)

All I wanted

was a cute picture of the girls in their sort-of matching (I can't think of the word I wanted to describe them) outfits. I didn't think it would be this hard.




This was the best I got. I gave up at that point.

It's for you

Do I really talk on the phone that much? Ray would probably say yes. My girls think they need a phone since I have one. So Ray gave them an old cordless phone. One was not enough. I had to dig around through my stuff and find my old cordless phone (which, really randomly, happened to exactly match Ray's old phone). The girls love them.



















They love to push buttons. As you can see, Cora also knows where the phone goes when you're using it. Although she hasn't quite figured out the direction. The funniest part to me is that Cora will wander around with the non-working phone on her shoulder saying, "Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi." That's all she ever says on the phone. But when I put the real phone to her ear and someone is on the other end she won't say a word.

They also seem to think phones taste good. This is one of the major reasons they don't get to use mine. (The other major reasons being that they like to push buttons and may randomly call someone, and I don't want mine broken.)

Out Like a Lion

That would be how March left us this year.

Our house and Ray's pickup

Our street

Here are a few pics I took just trying to capture how pretty the snow looked:

If you want a comparison to see how deep the snow was, look at the picture of the gate here. The snow was basically up to the girls' waists.
