SeaWorld!

We spent the day at SeaWorld.  I have a friend who performs in the Azul show, so we were able to go "backstage" to meet Imaq the beluga whale.  All three girls had a blast, and Dan and I did :)

Nativity program, take two

This year, the songs were a bit harder, so the voices were a bit softer :)

TenderTime show!

Here are some pictures from the girls' TenderTime Christmas show!  There are no pictures of Teagan, since we had to be up on stage with her during her bit :)  The show was fantastic - they did a wonderful job organizing so many kids.  You could tell a lot of rehearsing went into this night!

The Shark room.

Interview with a four year old

If you ever wondered what goes on in a four year old’s mind when contemplating her father’s birthday.

Mom:  Okay Piper, let’s start with an easy one.  How would you describe your dad in one word?

Piper:  I like that he’s so goofy and silly and I like that he’s a googoo head.

Mom:  Good stuff.  What's your favorite thing to do with Daddy?

Piper:  My favorite thing to do with Daddy is, um, play with him.  I like to play with him sooooo much!  (Very intense, scrunched up face)

Mom:  What’s the best time you ever had with Daddy?

Piper:  Watching the movie today with him.  (Recency effect)

Mom:  What’s the most fun place to go with Daddy?

Piper:  Mall of Americaaaa!!!  (No hesitation)

Mom:  If Dad were a superhero what would his name be?

Piper:  Ummmmm… Super Dan!!!

Mom: How tall is Daddy?

Piper:  Fourteen tall.

Mom:  What color are Daddy’s eyes?

(Runs out of room, down the stairs, and then comes back a minute later)

Piper:  Ummm…. GREEN!

Mom:  Okay.  Tell me a story about Daddy and Piper.

Piper:  Ummm. Ummm.  Once long ago there was a Super Daddy and there was a little Piper.  And she was stuck.  In a tree.  And Super Daddy came to help her.  And they lived happily ever after.  The end.

Another story, please!  Please another story!

Mom:  Okay… go for it.

Piper:  Once upon a time there was a Super Piper.  And Daddy was walking along.  And then he got stuck in a tree.  And then Super Piper came to help Daddy and then they lived happily ever after.  And that is the end of that storrryyyy.

Mom:  What should Daddy wish for on his birthday?

Piper:   I think he should wish for… hmmm… his daddy.  He’s gonna wish for his daddy.

~The end~

Happy anniversary to us!

(We didn't  have a babysitter.  Slightly less romantic - but far more entertaining.)

This diaper box has been a favorite toy of both kiddos for the past month or so.
