Happy Pancake Day 2017

Pancakes
sausages for supper
=
2 very happy little girls!

The girls are so incredibly different in so many ways.
Today proved that at supper.
Piper couldn't get enough of the pancakes
and wanted to use her fingers to eat them.
Elliotte wanted more and more sausages
and refused to use her fingers to pick up her pancake
when it crumbled into her syrup.

I love their individuality!

Elliotte Paige is a Three-nager

Today is a big day in our home. 
The smallest member of our family 
is beyond proud to be the birthday girl 
and to tell anyone that will listen that she is THREE. 
Elliotte Paige may be small, but she is mighty! 
She has big personality, 
but somehow still manages to be the most calm and patient person in our family. 
She's happy to roll with the flow most of the time, 
but don't dare try to make her do something that she doesn't want to do. 
It's not going to happen. 
I love you and how much you look up to and admire your big sister! 
Sweet girl, thank you for loving to sleep, eat and laugh as much as you do. 
The world is a better place because you're in it. 
Happy happy happy birthday to you!

Elliotte and her friend Zachary were born just over 7 hours apart.
Since we have mostly all of the same friends,
we opted to have one joint big birthday celebration
for these two fabulous 3 year olds.

It was TOO much fun.

A gymnasium with lots of fun ride-on toys.
A bouncy house with slide.
Face painting.
Pizza.
Cake.
Friends and family.
What more could two happy little kids want?!

We love you, Elliotte Paige!

There's a line up of excitement for the bouncy house!
The kids were a little spoiled by their friends!
Loving her Skye birthday cake.

Cousins!!!
The rec center in our town had a pancake breakfast the same morning as Elliotte's party.
So much fun!
The kids loved it!
Elliotte's party dress was scratchy,
so after asking to wear it, she changed her mind.
Can you tell?!

Elliotte and Zachary's Paw Patrol cakes.
Elliotte wanted Skye and Zach wanted Marshall.
The last photo was of the back of the cakes.
This is the front.
She has been waiting forever to wear this shirt!

Sister love!

Happy birthday girl.

SO happy that MY sister could come with her family to celebrate!

My Empty Valentine

Piper and Elliotte love receiving mail.

So when Valentines arrived from Nana and Poppy,
they were ΓΌber excited. 
That was until the cards were opened.
Then there was confusion.

Piper opened hers first and was thrilled to receive some stickers
and some money!
... But wait... who was it from?
There was no name inside the card?!

That's when sick little Elliotte opened her card.
To Piper's dismay, 
not only was there a name signed in Elliotte's card,
but it was also covered in hugs and kisses. 
HEAPS of them.

I can honestly say that this momma has not laughed
so hard in a long long time.
Piper's confusion was priceless.
She immediately called Nana and Poppy 
to sweetly ask why Elliotte received hugs and kisses,
but not her.
Bahahahahahaa.

After Nana stopped apologizing and laughing at her mistake,
she promised Piper a new card filled with hugs and kisses in the mail someday soon.
Piper was satisfied and exclaimed that,
"at least I got stickers and money in my card. 
If Nana forgot that too, then that wouldn't be very fair!"
Hahaha.
Piper notices everything!
Don't ever expect to get anything past her.

Today she was very pleased to receive the new and improved Valentine card in the mail.
FILLED with hugs and kisses!

Two cards = Fair
One empty of xo's... = not so fair
Happy child...
Sad child... ;-)
Heart shaped grilled cheeses helped mend her broken heart.
Haha.
Even our ill little one enjoyed a sandwich.
(Notice the pretty black shoes.
She wears them all day every day!)
She looks for them as soon as she wakes up!

We've Been Sick

It's been a rough month in our home.

Piper, Elliotte and I have all been sick.

Hopefully we're on the mend now
and I can start blogging on a regular basis.
I must record the lives of my sweet girls
and their adventures as a 5 and very soon to be 3 year old.
