February

You wanted me to send dad this picture of your completed puzzle and fancy car garage when I came in to get you at the gym :)

 Carson and Austynn you got the special treat of staying at the motel with Mimi :)

  Paislee, you got to go home with Mimi and GO TO SCHOOL! I guess you really "are as big as Mimi" because you did "go to scool" :)- You have been wanting to go to school with Mimi since Austynn did in September. You told us over and over and over again that you were big enough to go. Being the third, you do not want to be left out of anything...and you aren't, little miss independent! :)-

 Pais, we are proud of how good you did in preschool! So neat to see the pictures of you interacting with the kids so well. Pretty special to get to go to school with Mimi!

 Austy Pie, you were my little trooper - boxing more stuff in the house and taking care of some errands :) Loved having your help, sweet pea!

 Papa and Nana came over one Friday afternoon, got the kids, and kept them all night! Mitch and I tried a new place for dinner, got dessert and watched a movie. We even went to get something to drink at 11 pm ... oh the freedom :)

  We went to our favorite Mongolian grill in Corvallis the next day, and the tired kids crashed!! They got to stay another night at grandma and grandpa's with papa and nana, too :)

 Our first day w a for sale sign out front ... will we move?

 Pais, this is your first time at the dentist! Carson got his teeth cleaned at the same time. He had to go back solo, bc I was going to go back w you (and then check on him). He wanted me to come back w him. When the lady came out to get you, you DID NOT want me to go back w you. You said "no mommy go. mommy stay." So independent already!!

 You silly girls! You came out in these outfits after playing in Austynn's room for a minute :)

 Austy, you wanted me to take this picture of you w your made bed :)

 We went for a walk one day, as you girls were sick :(

 You arranged your bunnies so cute and you asked for me to take a picture, pink eye and all.

Carson, you had a Patriotic Program at school. You made this hat and flag and sang some classic American songs! We are stilling enjoying singing, loudly, to our Lee Greenwood, "Proud To Be An American" song in the car. Good job, bud!

 This is how you girls enjoy playing during the day :) You all 3 have been big into taking care of the dogs lately, which is fun to watch.
