February Catch Up

In beginning of the month, we went over to New Hampshire for the weekend. We made a nice trip out of it, stopped at the children's museum on the way over and had a nice lunch at our favorite salad spot! Charlotte was very excited once we got to Grammy and Papa's as she loves being silly with Grammy!

 Saturday morning we took the kids to the library. Caroline thought this was a great idea. She loved climbing all over all the books.

On Sunday Ellen and I took the kids to this awesome indoor playground. Caroline loved it just as much as Charlotte!

Unfortunately I think we caught some nasty germs while we were there and after being home for a day Charlotte got sick, followed by Caroline, and then Chris and I. I guess we won't be going back there again!

Since Chris and I were so sick, but Charlotte was feeling much better and craving attention, we took her to Grandma and Grandpa's for two days. Charlotte loved having a sleepover, she got to stay up late and even have a lollipop before bed, in bed! (We had a nice little chat about that!) The next morning she and Grandma broke out the sewing machine and made Chris and I a potholder! Charlotte was so proud. She even decorated the tissue paper with a picture of daddy!

Last Wednesday we were all finally feeling better and we spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa's after gymnastics. Caroline loved sitting on the counter "helping" Grandma make dinner and eating raw sweet potatoes!

  Just before dinner my friend Jen came over to see the girls! It's always nice catching up! Charlotte still remembers when Jen gave her her first sip of soda when she was about 18 months old, and she tells everyone about it. Jen keep up the standards by bringing Charlotte a giant candy necklace! At least she got Caroline a baby toy and not sugar!! Thanks Jen!

Jen had her puppy in the car and Charlotte wanted to go see him! He was a little bigger than she expected and he was very excited!

The UPS man came in the afternoon and delivered Grandma and Grandpa a box of chocolates from Uncle Rodney and Aunt Karen. It was perfect timing because ever since the UPS man brought Grandma a box for her birthday Charlotte thinks the UPS man is the chocolate man and only delivers chocolate. She is usually disappointed. Charlotte also does not like chocolate, however, she will eat the Krause's chocolate from the UPS man. I guess she can tell the difference between real chocolate and imitation! In a effort to keep Caroline happy after dinner we let her have some chocolate. She loved it!

 Which then meant that a bath was needed. Caroline loved running around looking at herself in the mirror after bath.

So that is what we have been up to, trying to recover from the nasty stomach bug, and mostly just hanging out! So glad we are all feeling better (although hoping Mom and Grandma recover from it quickly!)
