Babe's is an experience

Morgan loved helping herself to the corn... and more corn... and more corn... Oh, and you HAVE to lick the serving spoon!

Water while you wait for your name to be called. Yummy!

We went to Babe's a couple of days ago. Have any of ya'll ever been there? Our family had never been, but it was an unforgettable experience. When we got there, there was a 1 hour wait for a table, so the girls played on the farm equipment for a few minutes. Then, we moved to an open waiting area with all kinds of chairs, heating lamps, sinks to wash your hands with soap, bottled water with cone cups, easily accessible restrooms (without going inside of the restaurant)- total comfort!

After our wait, we got a table. We ordered 2 entrees. LeCount got the chicken fried steak, and I got the pot roast. We always just get the entrees for the two of us and then split it with the girls. The RARELY eat more than a few bites. This time, they went to town with the food!! There were non-stop biscuits and 5 veggies!! We had endless corn, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, and salad! Talk about the yummiest vegetables you have ever tasted! Morgan ate a whole family-sized serving of the corn all by herself! I can't write any more of this post because it is making me want to get in my car and go back! The food is definitely addictive!

Blacksmith Shop

There is something about rusty old farm equiptment and trains that draws the attention of children. When went to Babe's, and they had all of this equiptment outside. It worked out perfectly because the wait was 1 hour, so the girls stayed busy climbing on the tools & looking at the train.

Totally Cool Gift from Grandma Frances!

Grandma Frances sent us a deposit for a sand box, a check for $25. I found this cool sand table for $45, and LeCount bought the blue sand. Not bad for a small investment. The girls LOVE it! Apparently, they have pink sand, too!

Friday School Dress Up

A bucket full of dress up clothes was waiting for us at Friday School. There is an indoor play area for our class to use when it is too cold or too wet outside. The kids were having a good time dressing up as policemen, firemen, princesses, brides, and anything else they could come up with.

No one likes chipped nail polish!

We were in the doctor's waiting room to get Morgan's and Jaden's throats checked. While waiting, Morgan decided that her toe nails needed a paint touch up. She whipped her foot out of her boot, and just started painted her toe nails!

Doctor's Visits

I took the girls with me to my bimonthly checkup. It is always a challenge to keep them entertained in the room. I spend the time showing them the model "brain", the charts on the wall, and anything else I can find. Every experience is an oppotunity to learn!

This time, the next day, we were right back in the doctor's office again! Jaden was complaining of a sore throat, and they both had allergy drainage for a week and a half or so. Morgan wasn't complaining about anything in particular hurting, but she was in a very BAD mood! Turns out they had strep, even though their throats showed no sign of irritation. All 3 of us girls walked out with an antibiotic.

Valentine's Day

This is Morgan's signature above

Because of the snow last week, our school's Valentine's Day party was cancelled. We are going to do it the next Friday instead. Grandma Leslie bought both of the girls "Princess and the Frog" valentines. Jaden signed her name to 30 valentines, and Morgan did 12. Then, they each put them in envelopes with a chocolate heart. This is their first valentine's experience, and they loved it!
