New swing set!

Daddy worked so hard for two weekends straight putting this beauty together!  Thanks to Matt Welke and Papo for putting in a few hours too!  As soon as it was assembled, we tested it out!

 Allie loves to swing!  She loves playing outside and entertains herself on the swings by singing and twisting all around.

 Claire likes to swing too, but usually asks me to push her!

 Fearless Allie loves how fast the new slide is!

 Claire wanted a hand!

 Climbing!  The girls like to blow bubbles up high!

 Happy girl!

St. Patty's

On the weekend prior to St. Patrick's day, Claire and Allie got to go to the Hawthorn Woods CC for some serious fun!  They got their faces painted, ate yummy food, did crafts and performed in the juggling act.

 On actual St. Patrick's day, I let the girls pick out a special treat.  They wanted a sprinkle donut.  Allie cracked me up at the store and told me that I was being a "Pamma Momma" since I was letting them get a donut!

Singing at church in Feb. and comfort dogs

The kids did a nice job singing, but I was not very successful at recording it.  Later on in the service, they had comfort dogs that have been spending time in Newtown, CT.  The dogs were so sweet and the kids could have pet them all day.
