Cinderella

We went to Atlanta this past weekend to watch Margot dance in a Cinderella ballet. She was great! The kids had a blast there... it was their 1st "show" and they were so cute. Riley kept asking where Margot was so we were soooo glad when she finally came out :) and Reagan was just too cute pointing and yelling "Rella" the whole time.

Reagan sitting like a big girl waiting for the show to start.

Riley waiting for the show to start... what a prissy thing.

With Margot after the show... Margot was a star.

With Cinderella and the Princess.

As we were leaving Riley got upset and said she really wanted to see the Step-sisters, so Margot went and found them so we could take some pictures... they were sweet.

Pinecone

One day we were out walking and Riley stopped to pick up a pine cone. She was very excited about this pine cone and told me that she was going to take it home and decorate it for Mrs. Lisa (her teacher). I said fine and didn't think much about it until I started thinking about how we were going to decorate this pine cone. All I could think of was making the nasty peanut butter bird feeder and thought about how gross that would be in the car on the way to school. So I asked Riley how she wanted to decorate it and she said in a very "duh" kinda way, "with sparkles mom". Geez what was I thinking. So we got out some sparkly poof balls and some sequence and started decorating. I really had no idea what to do with the pine cone so I just told her to tell me where she wanted to put things and I would put some glue and let her do it all. We put the first ball on and she told me she wanted the second one right next to it. I told her that she needed to spread them out and she said "no mom, they are eyes and they go together"... again "duh". So there it was, she was making a face on the pine cone, something that I would have never thought to do. She designed the whole thing herself and I was very proud of her creativity. She took it to school and Mrs. Lisa loved it. She made it the centerpiece on the table for the day.

Crazy Reagan

Reagan gets crazier as the days go on. Her little personality is really popping out and it's been so fun learning who she really is. She has her moments where she is throwing herself on the floor in a tantrum because she isn't' getting her way or grunting/yelling at me because I won't give her something, but for the most part she is the sweetest thing in the world. She loves to cuddle, sit in laps, give hugs and kisses, and laugh and smile constantly.

Her she is in her "boots with the fur"! Riley wanted a pair of boots so Nonnie was very generous and took them both shopping and bought them boots. Reagan absolutely loves her and don't call them shoes because they are "boos".

Hmmmm.... playing Elefun and Reagan couldn't catch any of the butterflies so she decided to catch herself.... or she was going to rob me, not sure which one.

Riley has been obsessed with wearing skirts so of course Reagan needed to wear a skirt. She ended up being our '80s punk rocker... doesn't she look like a little Cindy Lopper?

Riley and Reagan LOVE to play hide-and-go-seek. Riley has actually become really good at hiding, but Reagan still needs a little work. This day she actually went behind something to hide, but most times she just stands in the middle of the floor and covers her eyes. She thinks if she can't see you then you can't see her.... or she sees Riley cover her eyes while counting and thinks she has to do it too :)
