Two wheeling

The kids have been playing outside lots lately due to this beautiful weather we've been having. I had not heard from E in some time yesterday so I went outside to investigate. This is what I found...
She is working so hard that she has no idea I'm taking her picture.
Check out the handle bars!!
I know that if her legs had been a tag longer or the seat lower, she would have taken off!
Somehow she's gotten the handle bars turned around and her feet on the peddles and I've been spotted!

Valentine's Party

Today was L's Valentine Party at school. I was asked to coordinate the party. WOW! A room of 16 three years is not my cup of tea! I can organize and plan, but to actually be in that room and see chaos...yikes!! Thankfully it went well, the kids had fun and I am done.
Every time we discuss L's party prior to today, she asked if she could wear a dress. I prefer that she wear tennis shoes to school for the stability that they provide so it was a BIG DEAL for her to wear a dress. She was so excited and looked beautiful!
Without fail, if L gets to wear tights and a dress, then E figures she also gets to. We ran into a slight problem as I did not realize just how small E's church shoes were. I finally bought her tennis shoes at the beginning of the week, but it never crossed my mind to check her church shoes. Well, today when I pulled them out, I realized they were TWO WHOLE sizes too small. Oops...off to the shoe bag to find some hand-me-downs. We had to change the dress to match the shoes I found but the important part was that she DID get to wear tights and a dress!
D wanted to dress nice for the party so he chose his red shirt considering it was a Valentine's Party
Bows, dresses, tights and church shoes...nothing makes my girls happier!
I included this picture to remind myself (as if I could forget) that I do have THREE children, even if they don't all want to pose for pictures at the same time.
I just love this pic of my big kids!
Musical Chairs at the party. No, D is not part of the SuperStar class, but he opted to join right in.
E, on the other hand, found a baby and planted herself by my side!
L making finger puppets
Eating pizza!
