Just Another Day!

So I am trying to do better at taking pictures of just life around the house so here are some typical days we have had lately...
 So this one is not from around the house but if the girls are good while shopping there treat is they get to ride the horse at Wal Mart. They are very upset when they are good and mommy doesn't have any coins!
 We love when out friends come over to play! This is Aurora and what is funny is she is a 1 1/2 younger than Brigitte and almost a 1 1/2 older that Violet. So they will all 3 play together if she is here! Mommy loves when Aurora comes over :D
 Brigitte loves just eating chocolate chips. On this day we were out and Brigitte says "oh don't worry about it mama I know what to do." I didn't think anything of it....next thing I knew she was in our bathroom and had dumped the whole box of trail mix on the floor and as picking out all the chocolate chips....Very resourceful this one! About a week later Violet did the same thing looking for raisins and apricots!
 Brigitte has a little pre school class she goes to every Tuesday. So Tuesday morning is Mama and Violet time. Which usually includes storytime at the library! Shaking shakers is her favorite part!
 I have finally upgraded my old smelly vacuum and I think the girls we just as excited about it as I was! We loving opening packages! We got he Shark Rocket and it is amazing! But make sure you get all the attachments that go with it!

 If you every come over during the day to our house Brigitte will either be in pajamas or her bathing suit. I do dress my children I promise but this is what she likes to wear around the house. Mama has to pick her battles and this is not one! These pictures our us "swimming" at the beach on our swim towel.
 
 


Camping In The Cold

We have tried to go camping for the past two years! We would pick a weekend and something has always seemed to happen. I am not a huge fan of camping but Gabriel loves it and I knew the girls would too. So we decided to go Easter weekend on Thursday since Gabriel had Friday off and we thought less people would be there.....well that weekend it decided to go back to winter and of course we were on the only ones out there. I am not sure how cold it got that night but at least in the low 40's if not colder.
However I did come prepared and we were loaded down with blankets and it really wasn't that cold in the tent. The girls had no idea what camping was but they sure were excited!
 Our site had a really pretty view of the lake but the cliff did make me a little nervous but we survived!
 Like I said it was a little chilly...
 So we forgot the tote with all the girls snacks and goodies but luckily the foil dinners were in the ice chest which we didn't forget! Violet LOVED dinner!

 Brigitte was so excited to go on "vacation" with the dogs!
 Brigitte in her mummy sleeping bag which she thought was so funny!
Beautiful morning!
 
 Fun time skipping rocks
 
We also got to climb on mushroom rocks at the lake! Two of Brigitte's favorite things climbing and rocks!
