Toth Art Festival
American Girl Tea
A few weeks ago Elise and I went to a mother-daughter American Girl tea at our church. I was surprised she wanted to go as we don't own an American Girl doll. Instead, she brought her frog, Smoochie. Smoochie was a given a little purse when she arrived by the ladies of the church. Obviously the purse was meant for a doll but Smoochie didn't seem to mind.
Is it Spring Yet?
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.
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...

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....

Strike!
Elise and I went bowling on MLK Day with our church. It was the first time she bowled and definitely not the last. Elise has some form (along with all the other little kids)! The parents joked that we were surprised that they didn't dent up the floor when they threw the ball down the lane. I was just surprised that it never stalled out in the middle!
The face of joy
Off to the Ball
In addition to a date with Daddy to the Princess Ball, our friends the Barnetts were going as well... Libby and Julia would be going with their Dad and Uncle Eric. We thought it only fitting that the Dads wear a top hat (courtesy of Amazon for a mere $4.99) for such a grand event.
And of course a corsage too! The corsage is still on Elise's chest of drawers. She tells me that she's saving it forever. Later she told me that she looked at her corsage all night long while she was dancing at the Ball.
...a picture with the entire gang before leaving for dinner.
The moms were invited to the Ball for a red carpet photo op. We arrived before the girls and their escorts so we could see their faces as they entered the building. Cinderella was there greeting the girls as they arrived.
There was also an opportunity to take a picture outside of Rapunzel's castle...

And what happened next? Well, I assume it's a bit like Vegas. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. I know there was a bunch of dancing, snacking on cookies and raffling of prizes (which they didn't win). It was a special and magical night.
Dancing up a storm
My guess is that this will be an annual event for this group!

The Snowy Day
Eventually the little ones got cold and we headed back inside to warm up. Hadley insisted that she wear her snow pants until naptime. I think we have a snow bunny on our hands...
