Catchin' Up

Just a few pictures of the girls at Abi's Greenhouse Art Show: She and Leah posed as two ballerinas from a Degas' painting-had to hold the pose still for 15 mins. Let's just say I felt bad about asking them to do this, since the bar was a little too high (literally and figuratively:-). They did a GREAT job, though, and I was very proud of them. So first, here's a link to the real painting: http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/balt/ho_29.100.34.htm.

And now for the Abi/Leah version:

Kaila was actually glad she was too little to participate in this one!

Spring is finally here!

It's been a while since I put anything up, but after visiting the Arboretum's Daffodil Glade the other day, I thought these were worth posting. Also, for the benefit of Mom:-) I'm putting some pictures of a bag I made, of which I'm rather proud.

Easter

Some Easter pics. . .

Coming home

Yes, it was sad to leave. But we did bring home some souvenirs.

Need I say more?

Disney-Day7

And just a few pictures from our last day. . .

Yep, Kaila got a nose-kiss from Piglet.

Disney-Day 6

Today we were at Hollywood Studios-we ate in a 50s diner at a great buffet.
We also rode the Toy Story ride-only once, because the wait was so long, but it was a great ride. Here's Kaila, playing with a giant Dominoe. The whole waiting area was decorated with classic toys-even the ceiling looked like a giant Chutes and Ladders board.

We also got the signatures of some characters we didn't expect to see...

And one we weren't surprised to see!

Disney-Day 5

Right after we rode the "It's a Small World" ride, first thing in the morning, we ran into the James family (Greenhouse friends). Apparently the world is actually smaller than we even knew!

We enjoyed a storytelling session with Belle.

Next, Kaila needed one more Splash Mountain thrill.

The girls got their Monorail co-pilot's license by taking a ride in the first car.

We then spent some time at the pool and the beach.

We feasted with Cinderalla and fam at their "Happily Ever After" (Gag) party.

Finally we ran back to watch an awesome night parade and the best darn fireworks show ever!

The is what happens when you get stung by a disney bee. Your hands swell up like Mickey's.
