what we've been up to...

Well I took a break from the blog for a few weeks! Here's what we've been doing around here the past couple of weeks.

Larkin has started attending a preschool near our home twice a week. She's been on the waiting list there for over a year and finally a spot opened up-so we grabbed it! She goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-1:30. Here's a pic of her on her first day. I begged her to come out on the grass so that we'd have a pretty background for her "first day" pic, but she refused to walk that far and said, "I just want to go to school Mommy! Hurry up and take my picture so we can go!!" When we got to the classroom I thought for sure she'd cling to my leg and beg me not to go, but instead she said, "Bye Mommy! Go home now!" Needless to say it's been a very easy transition!

Willa has enjoyed the one-on-one time, but definitely misses Larkin! The other day we were driving around running errands and she said, "No, don't go shopping. Go get Larkin. I talk to Larkin!" Whenever we drop off Larkin in her classroom, Willa always stands at the doorway waving and yelling, "Bye Larkin! I miss you!" but Larkin never even seems to notice-she's too busy playing!

Here's some pics of Willa doing some artwork without Larkin's interference, and a pic of her reading one of my books to her baby. Every babydoll likes to listen to a little John Grisham, right?

Uncle Ryan and soon-to-be Aunt Jaime sent the girls a tent. We keep it set up in the corner of our living room and the girls play there everyday. They like to hide in it and pretend that there are monsters/foxes/giants outside the tent, and they hide under the many pillows and blankets! Lately it's been really dry here and the static electricity in the tent is outta this world!! :) See hair pic below.
