Maiki loses another tooth...

Maiki lost her third tooth today.... The pictures don't do the look justice. She looks really cute and has that little whistle/lisp when she talks. She lost this one at school, so she got a special tooth box to bring it home in. The "tooth fairy" left her some change to count so she could practice her math skills. :) Sorry about the red eye in the pics. I didn't have time to edit first...

Valentine's Day was so nice. We had a great day - starting out with special deliveries for the girls from their Mommy and Daddy Valentines. :) Of course, Makena (aka Evilyn) was mad because Maiki got red roses. I can't win... We spent the day together. Went to KC and tried to go out to eat. As expected, everything was packed and we ended up eating at a grubby little Waffle House in Overland Park. Not very romantic, but fun. Then, we had to make a special trip to Krispy Kreme!

Valentine Parties

Mike and I have figured out that Valentines Day is the next best thing to Halloween to people under the age of 10. They got more junk and more candy than they did on Halloween I think! I didn't get to attend the parties (ok, so I wasn't THAT disappointed). The kiddos had fun. I had fun looking through everything until I figured out that I had to find a place to put all the junk!

Making Valentines...

The girls were so excited about making Valentines this year. They had a lot of fun. I had to have a lot of restraint not to help them, but I did it. Maiki was especially hard not to help. She wanted to glue everything on one card! :)

Oh well, I got to make Maddox's for him this year anyway. He had his first party at Sheri's.

My beautiful nieces....

Well, unfortunately, the circumstances weren't that great for my first outing with two of my three nieces, but it was fun in any event. This was the first time I have EVER had them all alone. With so many kiddos the same age, it's hard to get away with one or two. Sophia and Olive and I spent the day shopping, eating, and playing in the park. It was a beautiful, sunny warm day - unusual for February. They talked me into things at Target, and I have to admit, I talked them into things as well! I had fun spoiling them...
