Superheroes
Remember I made capes for the girls for Christmas? And that they didn’t care about them at all?
In my quest to force the girls to like their capes, I hastily cut out some mini capes for their animal friends.
Success!
Also adding to the fun is a mattress:
My grandparents gave us their bed. We’re working on getting rid of our old bed, but in the meantime the girls have LOVED their indoor trampoline.

Family Pictures
Several months ago we had family pictures taken by Cherylann Collins. We thought she did a great job and were happy with the results.
(Brooke was “fishing” and wouldn’t let go of her rod during the photo shoot.)
(Finally! The fishing rod is cast aside!)

Overheard
I have recently heard Brooke (4 1/2 years old) or Caroline (2 1/2 years old) say things that have left me thinking, “We have to deal with this issue already?!” I give you the following vignettes:
#1:
Me (cheerfully): “Time to get ready for church!”
Brooke (grumpily): “Why? I hate church.”
#2:
Me (cheerfully): “It’s a nursery day!”
Caroline (grumpily): “No! I’m not singing! No singing!”
#3:
Brooke (out of breath from running to me after playing outside): “Mom! Wyatt [her five-year-old friend] said I look so cute. Let’s put polish on my nails so when I go out he’ll say, ‘Wow! You look SUPER cute!'”
I can’t handle this.
And don’t go telling me it will only get worse.
