Just when you thought it was spring...

Well, we are now, once again, coated in snow. We had quite the spring snow storm yesterday...ending up with about 6 inches, but they said that for every inch of snow, there was a half an inch of rain, or something crazy like that. Basically it snowed very heavily for about 12 hours. It is really wet and heavy (heart attack snow), but everything on the driveways and streets melted today so that's good.

We are finally unpacked and back to the grind after getting back from Seattle. Mags started a new swimming session with a new teacher last week, and Maya is up to her old shananagans. We finally set up the pack-n-play for time outs, and she got her first one today. She didn't like it very much either so I guess it worked. Yesterday she pulled out a handful of Maggie's hair (I'm not exaggerating), and was beating her over the head with a naked Ariel barbie doll. Not stellar behavior. She's also learned to say "no" and does so for basically anything you ask her. And, she can now get down the stairs by herself...as we learned when I forgot to lock the gate and we found her at the bottom of the stairs safe and sound. Go figure. I also found out she can do lots of animal sounds...dog, cat, cow, chicken, duck, horse. Who knew?!

Today we went to the library and checked out a few books, and then to the ritzy grocery store around the corner, where Maggie got to push her own sized cart. What could be better? Daddy was brave tonight and let Maya sit at the table in a big girl chair and booster seat for dinner and I must say, did suprisingly well. She used her fork and didn't throw any food until the very end of the meal...and Bella only ended up with one small piece of bread.

Daddy and the girls ready for a walk.

Having fun at the beach!


Maya is obsessed with Maggie's panties. Everytime she goes into Maggie's room, she makes a B-line for the underwear drawer and proceeds to pull the out and throw the all over the room...so a few days ago, I just decided to put a pair on...yes there's a diaper under there. Think she's ready for the potty yet??? : )


Sitting at the table like a big girl!! And yes, I'm pretty sure that's the piece of bread that Bella ended up with!


Maya and Lily, best buddies, chillin' out reading books.
