Floaties.

We went over to our friend's community pool today.  Three Mommies and six girlies...We were not prepared for the kiddie pool being closed.....but it turned out to be a huge blessing in disguise.  The little girls played on the steps of the big pool..and the big girls got to play freely in their floaties.   My girls had never used floaties and they were afraid of big pools.....but not anymore!  They didn't want to get out of the water! In fact, they've been asking me all day when they can go back! ;)

Biggest Sister with her swimming buddy who was a huge encouragement!

This one took off on her own and didn't need Mommy by her side anymore.

So thankful that the girls can now swim in other pools beside the kiddie ones. 

So thankful for blessings in disguise! 

These Moments.

The other day, I caught Littlest Sister trying on Biggest Sister's pink shoes.. It was so fun watching her, trying so hard to put them on.  I took a ton of pictures during the process, because these moments are so precious and priceless yet so easily forgotten...

I love the curiosity, the persistence.. and the happy celebration dance when she conquered her mission. :)

Week in Review.

All Pinked Out.

Biggest sister and I painted our nails while the others were napping the other day.  She painted her nails PINK (which had PINK glitter), on her PINK chair, at the PINK table, with her PINK skirt, and her PINK shirt, wearing her headband with a PINK bow.

I don't think anyone would ever believe that I was once against pink (part of the reason why I didn't find out the gender with my first.. to avoid PINK everything).. But you know what... after having three girls, I have totally embraced it and now I love PINK with them. :)

             

Fun Girl!

Big sister has her own little bedtime routine.  Every night after we tuck the girls in and say good night, she will come out to "go pee so she will sleep all the way through the night". :) I can almost predict the exact second she comes out to say that.. But also, lately if she has taken a nap during the day she has trouble falling asleep at night..  For example, this evening she came out of her room three times for different reasons (both her sisters are fast asleep and Bryant's at a bible study)... Before sending her back to bed (for the third time), I thought we would have a little fun.. ;)

I love this girl.. She is so much fun.. and I have a feeling she will always be. :)

Summer Again.. in the Middle of Winter!

Another warm and beautiful winter day! Today, we went to Laguna Beach just to bask the sun and relax by the ocean!  We even met a family visiting from Australia!  The girls had fun playing at the park, running on the beach, and throwing wet sand with their two little girls! :)
