Just a picture of the girls in their "fairy" wings. Thought it was a cute one. Oh, and Carly's new tutu, I think she's going to be a dancer..They love dress up:)

Funny Pictures May 14

Carly reading a book she made in preschool about "friends and sharing". Interesting seating choice, but it worked! Notice the HUGE disaster in the background! Yep, its the toy room.. Get ready Grandma Kathy, these little Tasmanian Devils will be in your home soon!

Who are these girls getting along right today? And sharing a chair! Casey has a baked bean stain from lunch on her shirt.. she loves beans! Carly has a brownie stain from preschool snack on her knee..
At Dora Live in Grand Rapids. They LOVED it!

Asked Carly to show me her star so I could take a picture.. What a silly girl!

At Dora Live with our neighborhood friends.. Jessica and Brady..

A few May to-do's

My Mother's Day gift Carly made me at Preschool.

A picture of how long Carly's hair is.. Still never had it cut..

After the birthday party, in their "pretty dresses". Can you tell they are not happy? I made them come inside to change before playing outside...

Casey in her "pretty" dress after a birthday party..

The finished frosted cake.. It is a tough job to frost a "red velvet" cake..

My mother's day cake.. this is how carly frosts : Add frosting to spatula, spread on cake, take a few licks, spread licked frosting back on cake, repeat.. she loved it..

Carly petting the rabbit, very gentle.

Casey at the Nature Center Barn, checking out the chickens.. Kendyl was protecting her, not letting her stick her fingers in.. the guide warned the kids, the chickens would "peck" & it might hurt.

The 3's Little Treasure's Preschool Class, take note of a little girl in a pink jacket lower left corner! she was yelling "cheeeeese", she had to get right in there!

Casey got to join in on the field trip too.. she loved the wagon ride too..

On the tractor wagon ride with our "look and find" guide.. She liked this part very much..

Out at the Nature Center Barn, learning about where we get bacon from.. Hmmm, I'm not sure she caught on to that... But, she did say she loves to eat bacon...

Carly's preschool class on a field trip to the Kalamazoo Nature Center. My little nature girl! she was listening to the nature guidel very closely.. Notice the pink rubber boots! it downpoured as soon as we stepped out of the van.. Soggy day, but fun:)

Carly's BFF from preschool "Kendyl", was at our house for a playdate one day after school. The girls played really well together.. Casey has a little bit of a rough time, two big girls telling her what to do and tellling her no.. She did have fun with the "big"girls..

The girls helping me plant ivy ground cover. They are really into DIGGING, WORMS, MUD, & MESS making.. Everynight at bathtime, we have a good amount of dirt in the bottom of the tub, I guess that proves that it was a good day outside:)

Carly with a worm. She's into "saving" them and finds new homes in leaves and dirt.

"wow, look how it stretches mom!"

More worm saving.. Tim was planting Maple Flame trees, she was saving worms in the soil..

Casey eating the dirt, probably some worms too.. As I took this picture she said " I eaaaing dirT, yukY!"....such a little grubby one! she's is definitely a nature girl....

Carly was VIP at preschool. She is showing her wings she brought for "show & tell". Can you tell she is pleased to have all the attention of her peers?!
