Four things we heart...

1.) The Dollar Spot at Target. The source for many things cute and cheap (although, not always a dollar). See the above bunny ears and flower crown. The bunny ears have now been to: the park, the library, the play area at the gym, to the Coble's house for a "showing off" of said ears.

2.)Doing headstands. They need help getting their feet up but for some reason, they love doing them! They'll stay like that for a near freakish amount of time and then get down and go on and on about how weird their heads feel. Please note the fairy wings on Isabel. :)
3.)We always love reading books. Lately, these are a few of our favorite books though. Going clockwise from the top left we have:

• Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale by Mo Willems. Really, we love any of his books. They are super funny and the illustrations are very cute and unique. Poor Trixie leaves her beloved Knuffle Bunny at the laundormat and can't seem to get her Dad to understand her toddler-gibberish explanation about what's wrong. (Read it and get back to me about toddlers going "boneless". Ha ha!)
• Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell. These illustrations are enchanting and the text is very kid-funny ( i.e. her voice is "like a bullfrog being squeezed by a boa constrictor"). It has a great message about being unique and proud of it. Molly moves to a new school and is teased by a bully. Remembering the words of her grandmother and utilizing some of her spunk she triumphs over the bully and makes many new friends.
• Big Bug Surprise by Julia Gran. This was a gift from Shikay and fam and we love, love, love it. Prunella is the star of the book. She's a girl who loves bugs of all varieties. Her love of bugs has made her the less-than-favorite of some in her class and on the bus. She brings a great show-and-tell and manages to save the class from a swarm of bees all in one day. The characters are all illustrated to resemble insects. So cute and educational.
• Alice the Fairy by David Shannon. This is another author that we love. We have several David Shannon books and they are all engaging and some of our go-to-faves for bedtime. Alice is a girl who loves dressing up, is a fairy-in-training, and gets into a few scrapes along the way. She reminds us of Isabel in more than a few ways.

4.) My membership at 24 Hour Fitness. They just opened the club in December and I joined last month (along with everyone else at Poudre Valley Hospital--we got a killer deal). It is so nice to be able to work out whenever I want and the unlimited childcare for $15 a month (yes, you read that right) is awesome! Since we moved to CO, I'd been working out at the CSU gym. Being the oldest, palest, flabbiest girl in the room (it was all mostly 18-21 year old undergrad girls or football players) was getting a little daunting--and I couldn't take the kids with me. I'm loving the classes, the nice/new equipment, and being able to meet some of my peeps there for workouts!
