it's all fun and games: February 2016

the girls

on mon, i started to search through the girl's clothes to see what will fit for florida and what won't. i made a pile and left it on the desk upstairs and told ellie they were her clothes for florida. tues morning while i was making breakfast she comes down stairs and shows me the clothes then says "im already to go! so, let's go!" haha

on mornings that i bath the girls i let johana feed herself. she's getting better...lol

starting out

ellie wanted a pic

the weather this week has been SO nice, we've been out a lot more...johana went for a walk...sob she's totally a toddler now, bye bye baby!

i found mice tracks beside the house! so cool and so scary...mice in the house is nasty!

look at how deep they are and how many ties to get in the house

best group shot, ellie was playing on the swing

nate helping his sisters

i totally think joey is the artsy child. put a marker in her hand and she goes to town!

sisco was there encouraging her along

ellie's back into making a picture almost everyday. by herself! sob! she even tries to cut most of it out herself

she was busy working away

and refused to look up to smile
