TEXT ME

I was intriqued this valentine's season when so many of the conversation hearts said things like "whatever" and "text me." Seriously, text me?? Aren't conversation hearts popular with the 3 yr to 9 year set, not the cell phone carrying types? What do 4 year olds know about "text me"?

You can imagine my surprise when my I caught my preschooler this morning pretend texting Daddy. Where did she learn how to do this? I only learned myself to text message 3 months ago, and it takes me so long to punch one out I rarely do it. Obviously, she picks up more than I realize.

Or is Daddy spending too much time with the iphone?

Room Redo

The girls' new room is nearing completion! We changed the curtains and I scoured ebay for new bedding and wall art (the owl prints were personalized!). We bought pottery barn knock off collector shelves (see Ellie painting above) and each girl now has her own place for favorite books and stuffies. The clock is still cuckooing and I must say this has been the best thing ever for the girls. They are loving it. Now I just need LH to come over for a little wall mural (that's an official invitation!).

The Cartwheel

The score of the yard saleing weekend was a gymnastics mat!! Ever since it took up residence on the porch Ellie has been handstanding and cartwheeling and forward rolling. She works at it until she is drenched with sweat. I'm not sure how long it will be part of our outdoor decor, but we'll enjoy it while it lasts!
