Survival

This cold and snow..... We are struggling!

Hill said "I sleep with Louie." Lou is like "Whatevs. I am sleeping either way."

Jack incorporates princesses into every convo. I gotcha.

Ben. Being a baby with awesome cheeks. 

This happens 1000000x a day.  Homegirl is decked out on the regular. 

So is her sis. 

They waltz together. 

Our backyard is a regular Eden. 

I told J to pout. 

I can't stop kissing this kid. 

She realized one morning way too early- that her tinkerbell outfit had fiber optics. She. Almost. Died. She was so excited.

And again. 

Royalty. 

Ahh! Another indoor playground. Desperate times!!!!

Jack and P holding hands down the slide. When I see her with her BFF, their comfort level reminds me so much of me with my first BFF, Kristan. I remember we used to hold hands a lot and her older sister one time said "Duh. Why are you guys holding hands?" Her mom yelled at her but I remember feeling surprised that that would be a reason for ridicule. Welcome to our crappy world. Jack and P, rock on.  BFFs are the best. 

Hilly was obsessed w this slide (to the right of her). 

Later that night... 

My boy:

Ben and his first buddy, Drew. 

I forced Jim to an indoor playground Sat AM. 

The girls were SO excited. And then even more so that Dada was there. 

Took him awhile to warm up.

But ultimately...

Nobody...

had more fun than Dada.

He rode every inflatable slide. And then some. 

BBB just waiting his turn.

Another tiny merry go round. 

Hilly LOVES these. She always tantrums when it is over and I say no more. It's a delight, really. 

Chowing down on Grammy's chili. 

The neighbor girl came over sat night for an hour and the girls were thrilled. I met some mom friends for dinner and this morning Jack said to me "Mom, you belong at home."  Truth.

Also, not pictured: Jack and Jim went to library, dinner at Grammy and Pops', etc... Jack was SO upset we had to leave.  They had such a good time. I am exhausted. Goodnight.
