The little things in March.

Helping me make a chocolate smoothie.  Harriet calls all smoothies “chocolate smoothies”, but this really was a chocolate one.

The girls love touching my tummy and talking to the baby.

Brian took these pictures of the girls looking at the frogs in his parents’ pond.

Me and my 30-ish  week belly.

We love it when the light catches the prisms on our kitchen chandelier just right in the morning to make all of these amazing rainbow reflections all over.  The girls ask me make the light dance-- to wiggle the chandelier so that the little light reflections move all around the kitchen.  It really is beautiful!

Elna almost never naps anymore, and hasn’t in over a year, but on this day she happened to fall asleep during quiet time and was sleeping for such a long time, I knew if we didn’t wake her up she wouldn’t sleep that night.  When Hattie and I went in to wake her, Hattie said “Good morning, Sweetheart! Time to wake up!”  And then we all cuddled for a while on the top bunk.

Eating Frenzi frozen yogurt on Grandma’s birthday.

The girls were pretending to sleep and thought they were so cute and clever.  They really are very cute!

I love how well they usually play in the morning when they wake up too early and I am still trying to sleep a little.

Grandma and Papa gave this horse to Hattie for her birthday.  When you push a button it starts to neigh and walk.  The first time it happened was right after this picture was taken  on the kitchen island, and Harriet freaked out so much she almost fell off of her stool.  She was genuinely terrified, and still is pretty nervous of it a month later.

Reading with my girls is one of my favorite things to do as a mom.

A rainbow I saw while walking one evening.

Hattie’s first time going on the toilet.  She had just gotten out of the bathtub and was running around the house, when she started running back to the bathroom yelling that she needed to peep in the toilet.  And she did!  She’s totally ready to be potty trained…I’m just not ready.

Sometimes the girls ask me to take a picture of them.  Okay, if I must…

We spent a morning at our friends house—they recently moved out to the country in Corbett—about 10 minutes away from us.  They used to live just down the street from us, so we miss them, but they have such a great house and land now and it is fun to visit them there.  They girls loved holding their baby chicks.

Is anyone else concerned at how quickly she’s growing up?

A successful trip to the library!
