More Swimming

Swimming at the rec center is one of our favorite wintertime activities.  Normally, Dave is busy studying so I take the girls by myself and it's a little stressful keeping an eye out for both girls.  Dave is on spring break now so he joined us for a little swimming and we had a great time. 

Eden gets braver every time that we go.....

Milan ran into her friend Brooklyn and then pretty much forgot all about us.  Glad she found a good friend in Laramie and they always have fun together. 

Eden always loves a game of catch!

More spring break fun coming soon :)

Entertainment

I'm always surprised what my kids find and end up loving.  We dug out an old Princess camp chair from the garage and the girls could not get enough of it.  Of course, I had to run down to Wal-mart the same day and get a similar chair for Eden.  They love them!  They watch shows, play games, sit there laughing for no reason, and once in a while I give them a special treat and let them eat a snack in their chairs (one perk of renting, I could care less about the 20 year old carpet :). 

Milan's friend Brooklyn taught Milan how to carry Eden.  It is now one of their favorite games!  Milan thinks she's pretty strong and for some reason Eden loves it even though most of her landings are pretty hard. 

Grandma and grandpa Scott sent us a videophone and girls like visiting with their grandparents. Milan's usually a little chatterbox about her day and likes to read stories over the phone.  Eden loves to see her own image on the phone and say "baby" over and over. 

I got Milan some super cute rain boots and she thought it was pretty neat that we were all wearing boots. 

Eden is pretty entertained by her yogurt every morning.  Every time she drops some, she says "uh-oh," but then rubs is all around and makes designs.  (I'm not super entertained by the mess or laundry, but oh well :)

Preschool

Milan has an awesome preschool (and teacher) and has learned a ton this year.  Whenever Dave is available to watch Eden, I love to help out with Milan's class.  (Eden loves preschool too, but it's right in the middle of her nap time.)

This time, one of the moms happened to come into preschool and snap some pictures.  Here's Milan average day at school.....

The day starts off with free play...

 Circle Time on the carpet where they do calendar, weather, singing, dancing, etc.  Here's Milan paying attention.....

 Not so much here.

The song leader chose London Bridges.

 More silly games (learning)

I helped out with the Cariboo Game for Centers

Dinner Time

So, I am a pretty crappy eater and Milan has totally inherited my sweet tooth and dislike for most healthy things.  Since I want her to be healthier than me, I am trying to help her try new foods.  Well, that was usually a dinnertime battle....and we both hated it.  I decided to copy her preschool teacher so now she has to take 3 "no thank-you" bites of everything.  Dinner is so much more fun when we get to chat and act a little silly!

Eden is a great little eater so we don't even worry about her.  She does seem to have a sweet tooth though and says "kee-kee" (cookie) twenty times a day.  Here, I think she was wondering why I was interrupting dinner to take a picture :)

Preschool Picture Day

Milan had spring pictures at preschool so she picked out a pretty dress, we curled her hair, and snapped a few cute pictures at home.  We should be getting Milan's class picture soon so I'm anxious to see how the photographer got 18 preschoolers to pose for a picture.....

Hungry Hungry Hippos

This game is a big hit at our house, especially with Eden!

Crazy Sleeper

Every bedtime, Milan insists that she's not tired.  Saturday night we did our normal routine, turned on the lamp, moved the kitchen to the hall (so it's less scary), and let her sleep in her sleeping bag on top of her bed.  She fell right out of bed and slept on the floor all night....guess she was tired after all :)
