Petting Farm

Friday, I took the day off and Cesar took the morning off so that we could take the girls to the petting zoo.  When the girls woke up, I told them we were going to a farm to see animals and they were SO excited!  They could barely get through their breakfast!!  They had a great time!!  I love that this place is only 5 minutes from our house!

Isabella tries to feed every animal she comes into contact with.  Our poor neighborhood dogs get fed rocks all the time!

Take Your Child to Work Day---our first time!

Thursday was take your child to work day and I decided to take the girls this year!  Yay!  It was a lot of fun and they did great!!  We ended up getting to school right before second period (I have planning 1st period...don't worry Dad...I wasn't slacking too much!).  The girls were a little shy at first, but after they used the potty a couple times and got a snack, they were ready to go!  Thankfully, the rain held out, so we were able to stay outside for most of the day.  We had a TON of students to "help" us out all day (translation=excuse to get out of their normal classes all day and play with babies) but most of all, my co-workers Ashley and Tricia really helped the girls to feel comfortable!  Love those girls :)
Heidi graciously came and picked up the girls around 12:00 so they could get home and nap and after about 30 seconds of tears when they had to leave, they calmed down and then quickly fell asleep in the car on the way home!  Overall, a very fun day!  Here are just a few pics of the "kids" at school!

All the PE kids.  5 teachers...
Three sets of identical twins, one set of girls that could pass for twins, and two super cute boys!  Quite a group.



Waiting patiently for the rest of the crew to be round up



Got a few more to join the picture

Got 'em all in...now to just get them all to look at the camera at once!

Pretty close!

Love how Isabella is eagerly awaiting her goodbye kiss

A few of the many students who "helped out" with the girls

Last week the girls had their 2.5 year check-up!  Here are their stats...

Leah Grace:
Height:  37.75 inches (90th percentile)
Weight: 31 lbs. 12.8oz (75th percentile)
Head circumference:  49.3 cm (75th percentile)

Isabella:
Height: 36.25 inches (50-75th percentile)
Weight:  30lbs 6.4 oz (50-75th percentile)
Head:  49.3 (75th percentile)

Not much has changed from last time.  Apparently, you can get a pretty good idea of how tall they will be by taking their 2 year old height and doubling it, so the doctor went back and looked at our 2 year stats and said she thinks the girls will be around 5'10.  Not much surprise there!  Everything else seemed pretty good!  She said to just keep on doing what we are doing!!
