Latest Happenings

I thought I'd just post a few pictures of the things we've been up to lately. Ben and I spent my birthday last weekend painting and decorating Tori and Alyssa's room. 2 walls are pink and 2 walls are green. We didn't need curtains because we already had the blinds so we put up large pink and green daisies hanging down from different pink and green ribbons in front of the windows. I also found these cute Tinkerbell wall stickers that they got to put all around the room. It's a fairy wonderland and all girl!


As soon as we got the room decorated, Tori and Alyssa started pretending Fancy Nancy. This is Tori being Fancy Nancy and Alyssa being the dog Frenchy from the Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy book Alyssa got for Christmas from her Uncle Kent. Those are socks tied to a headband to be her dog ears. Alyssa spent most of yesterday crawling around on her knees and pretending to sleep in a "dog house" in their room. Last night when Alyssa was getting ready for bed, she said, "Mom, I don't want to sleep in the dog house tonight. I want to sleep in my own bed." I told her she absolutely could sleep in her bed. Apparently an older sister, who will remain nameless, had told her she had to in the dog house at night too. As part of her "re-decorating" Tori removed several of the books and other things from the shelves and around her room to make room for her more "fancy" things like pretend makeup and dolls.

Here is Alyssa and Mackenzie doing two of their favorite things: dressing up and dancing around the living room. This is Mackenzie trying to jump. I couldn't get a very good picture, but she bends down in a squat position and then stands up quickly and grunts. She doesn't get any air yet, but it's funny to watch her try. Her dancing consists of spinning around with her arms raised above her head. She'll do anything her older sisters do!
