Outside Again

We didn't go outside to play for a few of days, because every time we did Maggie's eyes would water and she would get really congested. She used the extra energy to climb on the table, drive Lucy nuts and to carry her chair around the house so she could reach fun things. Well, mom said enough is enough and took her to the doctor to get recommendations on treating the outdoor allergies. Maggie is now taking an over-the-counter medicine that is really helping her and we can play outside again! I am so glad to have my happy girl back.
I took the girls on a ride in the bike trailer Sunday afternoon while Jon worked on the Mustang. We had a great time and Maggie wouldn't take her helmet off.

Dance Party!!!

Dancing is Fun

Maggie, you are my prince.

Top 5 reasons I haven't posted

1. I jumped on the Twilight bandwagon and have read over 2,000 pages of Vampire lore.

2. Jon was out of town twice in the past month.
3. We have been playing!
4. Allergy/Sinus troubles

5. We have been working on projects including a very successful garage sale. Jon now has a clean garage to put new brakes on the Mustang.

Wonderful Weather

The weather has been great. We spent a lot of time outside today.
Maggie was really proud of herself. She put her cup on the table, climbed up in the chair and then got her cup.

Lucy reading about wild cats.

Playing veterinarian

Pigtails

Coconspirators - Maggie pushed the chair to the sink then they both climbed up. Unfortunately they aren't reliable dishwashers yet.

Bite Marks

Lucy has started biting Maggie for attention. Lucy bit Maggie a couple of times around Christmas and then stopped. We think it was because she went from getting a ton of attention during our vacation to just having the parents and the biting incidents would always happen when Mommy and Daddy were not giving her the attention she wanted. Then this past weekend she broke the skin for the first time (left mark). Then she did it again today. We always put her in time out and tell her, "Biting hurts, biting is not allowed." I also take away the toy they are playing with and today I banned TV. Then spanked Lucy when she defiantly turned on the TV. Help!! I am not used to this. How do I get Lucy stop biting?

Happy Birthday Jon

Jon turns 30 today. To celebrate he went to the dentist this morning. And then came home to spend a little time with the girls before heading to work.

Making a Masterpiece

Maggie got a booster seat.

Maggie likes putting the lid on the crayons more than coloring.
