Molly is having some issues with her asthma so she stayed home from school on Thursday and Peter got home really early because it was a hapf day so we had to find ways to amuse ourselves. Molly and I made cookies and then later in the day I let the kids soak in a tub together until they were all pruny and not a bit clean.
The kids can't wait until Lizzie can get in the tubby with them - I don't know if there is room!
Molly and I baked cookies and so we gave Annie some water with red food coloring to let her "cook" too.
The girls in their crushed velvet pajamas hanging out together on Thursday when Molly was home sick.
Auntie Ann got Annie this Rudolf shirt - Annie thought it was so cool that the nose lights up when you move and I thought she looked adorable but WAY TOO old!
Thursday night I got to go to Auntie Meg's pinning ceremony - essentially her graduation from nursing school. She wanted the kids to come (probably more than she wanted me to come) but it was a school night and we weren't sure about the snow so we made them stay home and go to bed. I promised them a fun celebration some other time. This is her hugging the head of the nursing school after being pinned.
The candle lighting ceremony that has something to do with Clara Barton.
Meg is in the middle - sorry so blurry.
Meg and Tim share a moment after her graduation.
Tim, Meg and Christina - Yeah Meghan!
Uncle Pete and Meghan - look at how proud his looks.
Auntie Meg with her proud Mom!~
Meghan between her two biggest fans (other than me, of course!)
Meg and the twins - so cute.
Auntie Leenie and Uncle Pete with the graduate.
"We've come a long way, baby!" When I think of what Meg has been through to get to this point I want to cry....or jump up and down for joy - I am so proud!
Tim getting the evil eye from Meg - I don't want to bring up a sore subject but he may have been reminded to get flowers and still shown up empty handed. He was forgiven shortly after.
More pictures of Meg and Tim.
BFF's - Christina and Meg.
Our pretty girl.
Meg with her pit crew! You know, the people who change your tires, put gas in your tank and love you no matter what!
He brought flowers - awwwww!
The happy graduate!
Auntie Kate - happy to have a nurse in the family!
Meg with her milk and cake!
Lizzie under the play gym - she loved for about 5 minutes.
Snow bunnies!
The big kids could not wait to get out in the snow - they couldn't sled but they did everything else and came in freezing and happy. Bob shoveled all day between here and work so he is one tired guy. The kids missed him but we're hoping that the snow is over soon so we can enjoy our weekend together. The Harding family christmas tomorrow night and then a quiet day at home and some last minute shopping for Mommy on Sunday. Hope everyone had a happy snow day - Kk came and hung out with me and got snowed in here - to the the kids delight. Peter called Grammy and Papa at around 6 p.m. and asked if KK could sleep over on his trundle bed. (KK lives with them for those who don't know!) They said yes so KK is in for a fun morning in the H-W house!
My cousins got Lizzie a hat that says "My First Christmas" - she looked so cute in it.
Annie got up from her nap and was intrigued by Lizzie on the play mat - it didn't take long for her to find a way to get in on the fun.
My happy girls playing together.
I love those bellies!
Yes, I took 20 pictures - they were adorable - Annie was singing and Lizzie was cooing.
Annie stayed this way long after Lizzie lost interest in the play gym and started crying. A little regression never hurt anyone.
