I'm not sure what they do when I'm not around...

but I'm thinking that this is Dan trying to help Piper learn how to cross her eyes:

Updates from loose tooth headquarters

 Piper lost her second bottom front tooth while eating a jelly bean in the car - she swallowed it! (We think!)

Piper lost (pulled out) this tooth tonight - her second top front tooth - while eating cereal.  The giant tear on her face is due to the fact that it hurt and bled a lot. :(

Teagan hasn't lost any teeth, although she claims she has a loose tooth.  She hasn't yet been able to prove it (Piper has insisted on verification).

But... she is awfully cute, regardless.

Cousin rascals

After Uncle Patrick's birthday dinner celebration, the kids decided to run around the neighborhood for a bit, joyously and looking like a group of little rascals.  Cousin rascals.  Which is exactly what they are :)

Little cuties :)

 

The Yogurt Lab

Naturally, our kids chose the dark chocolate.

Targeting Target

There are a few different bribes I can pull out when I need to do the grocery shopping at Target with the girls in toe:  free cookie, playing in the toy aisles, playing in the shoe aisles, or playing in the furniture aisles.  Tonight the furniture aisles won out.

(Don't judge - in Minnesota, you need to have lots of places to go where kids can burn off steam and be entertained when it's negative degrees outside.  Target is a life saver once the temps start to drop.)

 

 

Breakfast with this gal

This morning Dan and Piper both got up early and had breakfast together.  He took these pictures of his dining companion.  Gotta love sittin' across the table from this sweet, silly face!!!

...and she brought Oma with her!

 Snuggles

Teagan got a makeover from her big sister.  Not bad for two girls with a mom who doesn't wear makeup and never blow dries her hair (even for work) :/

She's baaaaaaaaaack

After a great extended stay on the Jersey shore with her cousins, aunt and Oma, Piper Mac is back in the hooouuuse!
