End of Winter/ Spring 2015

Here are a ton of pics from recently...

On of my favorite things about staying at home with my girls is that we can have random fun outings.  On this particular Monday, we walked to Liberty Branch and had a picnic followed by dancing in the "princess castle".

Ladybug girl

Wacky Day at school

Avery very proudly exclaimed, "I'm making footballs because this is Aggies Play Doh! See it says Aggies!"  Aggies, Ages, close enough!

I love this girl sooo much!

One of Chloe's favorite activities is taking food out of the pantry.  She even does it at my parents' house.  I never had to lock up our pantry before but it stays locked now so that food isn't constantly taken out!

Another day, another crazy outfit!

 Donuts with Dad!

First ponytail!

A last minute trip to a park on a Monday.  Love spur of the moment adventures like these.

Yet another sickness for #2.  Poor girl has been sick way.too.much.  It was a virus this time.

Another spur of the moment outing after a dentist appointment.  It started out by driving by our old house and ended up with chic fil a and feeding the fish/turtles at our old fishing pier by the lake.  

Chloe is totally hooked on eating at the big girl table now.  They had a fun picnic in the grass one sunny Sunday.

Kelly had surgery one week and Apollo the next.  Avery made this lovely get well soon card for them!

School picture day!

I am so thankful to be able to stay home with my girls and witness these little moments on a daily basis.  These are the moments that I will always treasure.

The Science Museum!

We met Steph, the girls, and my mom at Houston's Museum of Natural Science a few weeks ago.  I hadn't been in many, many years, and we had a lot of fun.

Just arrived and ready to hit up the exhibits!

 We went through the bug exhibit to get to the butterflies.  Avery LOVES butterflies and was beyond excited.  She actually loves all bugs and references them frequently in her Bugopedia.  This whole area was right up her alley!

 There was a section in the butterfly area where you could hold a real butterfly.  They must have been near death to allow children to hold them.  Sophia's butterfly's death was eminent after her time with him.  Poor butterfly got a little love squeeze. :)

Soaking it all in

After lunch, we headed to another of Avery's loves, the dinosaurs!  She is fascinated by them and their bones.

Fierce like the dinosaur!

There was an endanger species exhibit too that Chloe really enjoyed.

My personal favorite!

Last but not least was the jewel exhibit.  There were tons of rare jewels and jewelry behind glass cases in a vault.  Avery told me that Daddy could just buy us all the jewels there.  Good luck with that girlfriend!

We finished out the day with a trip to the gift shop.  Avery chose a butterfly garden that provided far more entertainment than I thought imaginable.  More of that to come...
