Is it Spring Yet?

After spending all winter stuck in the house, we are ready for spring!! We are actually just content if it's not below zero!

The girls spent a lot of time playing dress up with our shoes and winter items... hats, gloves, scarves. I had to give up my Type A personality and allow for the coat closet to be a constant wreck otherwise I would have to reorganize it a few times a day.

Hadley also has taken up vacuuming. This was the exact age that Elise got into helping me clean the floors. Sometimes our little fashionista would don interesting outfits on our cleaning ventures... hence the tights, swimsuit and swim diaper getup down below.

Elise saved and saved all her money this winter to buy her Sophia the First amulet. It cost a whopping $10! That's a lot of tooth fairy money, allowance money and extra jobs around the house! It reminds me of something Mr. T would have worn except that it lights up. She's so proud of it.

Poor Hadley has a had a rough winter with illness. She had 3 bouts of double ear infections and was diagnosed with bronchiolitis 4 times. The last time the doctor gave her the official diagnosis of asthma and put her on preventitive breathing treatments until summer. We will have to start up again in the fall.  Jeff and I are praying that Hadley will outgrow this when she is older...

Another trip to the doctor

The first chance we had to walk to the bus stop, we did! The twins and I were sick of picking Elise up every afternoon in the car to avoid deathly cold windchills. We are happy to finally get to stretch our legs and walk the 2 blocks.

Hark! Is that the first puddle of spring?! No biggie! Just church

shoes! The will dry out by Sunday.

It's almost time for potty training. We've recently purchased 2 little Elmo potties (mostly because there was a fight to sit on the one we already had) and a dozen pair of underwear in preparation for our diaper farewell! The girls occasionally have interest in checking the toilet out and I'm more than happy to offer help. Maybe later this spring we can give it a go if everyone is ready....

I sure won't miss diapers!
