Spring is here...

These past few months have been busy! Madelyn turned 5---wow! She had a fun princess tea party with her sweet girlfriends. She loved every minute of it! They decorated picture frames, played games, made necklaces, had lunch, and finally enjoyed cupcakes. She starts kindergarten in a short 3 months (not even that long)! She will attend year round and is so excited to go. She has grown so much over the past few months. She is reading now and loves to do so. Her newest love is having us read chapter books with her and going to the public library to re-stock :). Every morning she brings at least 7 or 8 books downstairs to go through them all, organize which ones she has read, what she wants to read next, and informs me which new books we need. It's so fun to watch her do this and enjoy one of my favorite things...reading!

Caroline....where should I begin? She is such a sweet, quirky, unpredictable gal! She keeps me on my toes all day long but I love it. She knows which buttons to push and has landed herself in a crib timeout more times than I can count. I'm exhausted by 5 o'clock! She loves to read and I often find her in her room sitting in the glider reading a book.
Other fun things she loves:
-emptying out all of her drawers full of clothes (I especially love putting them back)
-opening the pantry doors all.day.long to see what she can snack on next
-finding the silverware drawer and 'tasting' all of it...beware if you come over!
-dancing, dancing, and more dancing (the girl loves this more than anything)
-wearing her ballerina leotard, especially on Tuesdays when Madelyn has dance
-play-do....and it is everywhere :)

She has been busy with Kindermusik and really is so excited to go on each Wednesday. She has made new friends and is quite a ham while we are there. We'll definitely keep her in that in the fall. Speaking of fall, she starts preschool come August---yay!!

We've been busy playing outside each day and Madelyn loves making me play Mario & Luigi with her....oh so fun :) She has been practicing her bike, but she is so cautious that it takes us forever to get down the sidewalk! Caroline on the other hand has no problem running around full speed!

Today we picked strawberries with dear friends from preschool. This was a great day to do so and fun! I'll post some pics of this!

Hopefully I'll get better at writing b/c I truly do want the girls to have things written about them :)

Madelyn loves the Wii!

Sweet Caroline
