Hair Doo's

Allison has finally developed enough patience to let me do her hair regularly. Sometimes, she's more patient than I expect and we end up with cute braided piggy tails like this. I just love her little ringlets at the ends!




After their bath the other day we had some time to spare, so I tried to blow dry it and straighten it with my flat iron. She took one look in the mirror and said "I'm Kallyn!!!!" The stright look didn't even last through the night. When she woke up the next morning her hair was again a terrible tangle of curls!

Skiing date with Daddy

Kallyn's a pro on the bunny lift! She's the shorty in Magenta pants and black coat.



One of her "awesome" wipeouts!

While you were sleeping...

It took us a few days to recover from our icky tummy bug. Poor Allison had the worst of it and took the longest to get back on her toes. Daddy treated us to Chili's to fill our bellies up again. While I was getting the girls ready Allison fell asleep in the middle of getting her hair done. She asked me if it was time to get in the car so she could go sleepy, so I told her to lay down on my bed while we waited for daddy to come home. I fixed Kallyn's hair and asked her to get ready to go and when she discovered that Allison was asleep she decided that she needed to help her get ready as well. So she put her socks on, wrapped her blanket around her, shoved her dolly in her arms and put her sunglasses on. She was so far asleep that she didn't even budge!




By the way, Chili's was so yummy in our tummies!

All better!

Hopefully any way. Tuesday Allison threw up after a fun family party at Eric's school. Then we were up all night with her terrible bouts of diarrhea. More puke Wednesday and Thursday, but finally she kept some liquids and foods down on Friday. But then Mommy threw up after the girls went to bed, was up all night running to the toilet, and Kallyn threw up all Saturday morning. Now it's Monday and it seems like we are all doing better, eating everything that can be chewed up and swallowed and looking forward to a fun week of Winter Break with Daddy! (Hopefully he doesn't come down with it now! That would suck!) Stomach bugs are the worst! But I hear that half our ward was home sick yesterday with the same nasty bug. Come on spring!!! Let us out of our houses to get some fresh air!!!

Kallyn's latest endeavor...

Kallyn "built" this clubhouse for any kids that might come over to our house. She tied ribbons across the room and put in "carpet" to make it cozy.
She insisted on taking a picture of it and since I was cuddling a sick Allison I let her use the camera by herself. Needless to say, she ran with the freedom of taking whatever pictures she wanted. If I ever get a better camera, I'm looking forward to giving her my old one.

2nd Place!!!! WooHoo!!!!

Eric just called and said that his Moot Court team took second place at the competition in NYC!!!! I am so proud of him and all his efforts despite his super needy prego wife and daddy deprived princesses constantly begging for attention! Way to go Eric!!!!
