irish eyes

Trying to get cute seasonal pics before going to school. I used to think Bea was the funny one, but Coco is a force to be reckoned with. Always making us laugh.

st patty's party

The girls and I met some friends at a fine Irish establishment to enjoy their Irish celebration. 

Face painting. One of the most important parts of a party. Just ask Bea.

She did the Irish princess.

Cordelia did the wee little leprechaun. She pretended to be asleep while getting her shamrock. It was less traumatic. 

They were giving away Coors light beads and McGargle masks. YOIKES.

The girls became fast friends with Eli and Jack. Who were stockpiling the masks and beads and McGuyvering them into something else. Something more dangerous.

school park

When we don't have a lot of time (or energy) we go to the park at the school by us. This Saturday was pretty decent weather to get out and move.

Here you can see Cordelia pacing, doing her tough-walk, casing the turf.

She's ready to tear this place up. 

jazznastics

Bea and Coco had Jazznastics for 12 weeks. It's a little bit of this and a little bit of that. They dabbled in a few different area to get them used to the basics.

Who is this teenager warming up with the toddlers?

By the end of the class coco took out her hair nubbies and removed her tutu. Revealing the semi-sheer and too short tights underneath.

They really enjoyed the class and got to hang out with their park buddies a little more.

when it's too chilly out...

...we blow bubbles in the house

or pretend we are tiny babies.

family-style valentine's day

I wanted to paint special little v-day art on the girls faces. Maybe a princess cupid or heart swirls. But Cordelia insisted on doing it herself. She was so focused. Before I got her set up with a mirror, I had her use my phone to see herself. Here she is applying a white "base".

 Now Bea was also interested but became less cute and more disturbing

We decided on fondo for dinner. The steak and sourdough in the boozy cheese went untouched by the girls. But the chocolate fondue after was a hit.

valentine's party at school

These ladies were ready for their v-day party at school. They tested out some tender embraces, arm-links for the photo booth and WWF dance moves.
