My Valentines

Yesterday was a hard day. A day full of tears, screams, nasty faces, bad attitudes, violence. I told the girls I would cancel Valentine's Day if they weren't going to be loving! Well, today has been very loving so far!

The girls love their bean bag chairs!

Tulips from Andrew : )

Snack time with my valentines.

Enjoying the weather as a family!

Thank you to all our family who sent valentines! We love you!

Addison made her ballet class little bouquets of flowers for vday.

 Addison loves this holiday....that may have something to do with Fancy Nancy! Anyway, we have little handmade decorations all over the house. Here's a mosaic the girls did together:

This morning I let the girls eat a piece of dark chocolate with strawberry filling before eating their smoothie!

They were pretending the boxes were their doctor offices. 

Static hair...her hair is sooo long! 

Teaching Audrey how to play the iPad. A HUGE thanks to Tiffany who gave us her old iPad! Our first gen died!

We love Flamingo Gardens!

We had a quick visit from Poppy last week!

 "Audrey went pee pee in the potty, woo woo woo woo woo." (Addi and I sing that each time!)

Andrew had elbow surgery last week. He is healing well, but he is anxious to have his mobility back (so are we!). Next week he may get to take the bandage off!

Zoo day

Andrew had some work to do over the weekend and we decided to drive to the Naples Zoo for the day to give him a quiet house.

It turned out to be a wonderful day with family!

Audrey and Nana feeding the giraffe!

Amanda and Madilynn feeding the giraffe!

 Camel time!

For some reason this picture makes me crack up! 

I wish I could have seen Andrew on a camel too!

Not sure what she thinks of the boys : )

Arranging coconuts from smallest to largest at the playground (with moving leg Barbie's help).

 MOPS play date at Monkey Joes! Addison was so brave!

Showing her sister the ropes.

 Addison got this Frozen bike from Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas! (still have not done a Christmas post, I know, I know) She thought Elsa would like to join us!

 Audrey loves Addison's old dog costume!

Wearing fancy dresses to the park, thanks to Addison.

 Absolutely love my new table and new blinds!

Putting her to work! Thank you Tiffy and Rob, I now have my own roomba.

Thank you Shanna for the bean bag chair! We had to get Addison a coordinating pink one for her room...they love them!

 Strawberry picking!

Audrey picked a lot of green ones, but towards the end she found the red ones.

 The strawberry ice cream was Addison approved!

 We made strawberry lemonade and ate fresh strawberries all week!
