Hair Cuts

Yesterday we FINALLY got a legit snow day!  Woo-Hoo!!  The roads were cleared pretty fast and after sledding in the morning, we were pretty bored by the end of the day.  So, the girls agreed to get their hair cut!!  Here are a few pics...they look so grown up!

They were rock stars...no tears the entire time!!

At home playing monopoly :)

SNOW...

We have NOT gotten enough snow yet this year...but the few days we have received...we took full advantage of!!  Hopefully we will get a big storm sometime in February!!

Sledding down the "big hill" by our house.

The Ong Family.  One of our favs!

They have decided that it is more fun to slide on their bellies than with sleds. 

Over the past week...



Today we went to the library! They had a "read to a dog" program going on, so the girls helped "patch"'s owner read him "Green Eggs and Ham." I love the dog's eyes in this picture!!

This is pretty much how we spend any free-time.  The girls are OBSESSED with Monopoly Jr.  We play at least twice a day on school days and 5-10 times on weekends. 

On Friday, before my stomach flu kicked in, I had a conference with the girls' teachers.  The first two reports were the first ones they gave me....

 

I have become good friends with one of the teachers (I coached her daughter and have taught all three of her kids), and I keep telling her she needs to either come up and teach Kindergarten in Urbana or I am going to have a rough year next year.  She sends me updates on the girls during the day, sends me pics when they are doing cute things, and is just a great friend!  I am going to really miss that next year.  Below are their real reports!

 

As I said, Friday I had the stomach flu (same day I had to drive Cesar to Dulles for a 15 day trip to Ecuador/Columbia).  I let the girls play with my phone while I "rested" on the couch.  I woke up to this picture of me...



And all of these as well...the girls have an app on my phone and they create the funniest pics!!

The girls and my co-worker's baby Quinn at our soccer game last weekend.

We are upgrading to booster seats!!  Woo-Hoo...another step to becoming "big girls"

5 year olds

The girls had their 5 year doctors appointment yesterday!  Everything seems to be great.  We've been a little concerned about Isabella because her voice is horse all the time...but he didn't seem concerned about it and said sometimes people's voices are more raspy than others!  Guess it will be easier to tell them apart on the phone that way :)

 

Here are their stats:

 

Leah:                                                  Bella:

43.4 pounds (71st percentile)              41.2 pounds (59th percentile)

3'7.75  (72nd percentile)                      3'7 (58th percentile)

 

I am writing these stats wondering at what age they are going to be embarassed if I put their weight on here :)  He He! Guess I probably don't have to worry about that for a few more years!! 

 

Here are their school pictures from this year!! 

 

 

Family Pictures

My friend Kristin that used to do our family pictures each year moved to NC, so we had to go with a different person.  So, I asked a girl who is in the parents of multiples club that I used to be a part of to do it.  She is just starting out, so her pics aren't quite the same quality as Kristin does, but she did a pretty good job with the pics of the girls.  Cesar and I aren't really fans of any of the ones we are in, but maybe that is just because we are getting old.  HE HE!  So...our 6th round of annual family pictures:
