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!
