Here's some pics of the girls enjoying watching the rice dry as well as playing with the rice! It really is one of their favorite things to do now! It even replaces chalk with a water paintbrush outside...which they love to do too! Thanks for the idea Sarah!!
Here's pictures of Kayley, Ashlyn, & Cora (top left) in Cinderella's Carriage and Cora and Preston also in the carriage (bottom left). The girls trying to climb the beanstalk from "Jack and the Beanstalk" (top right) and the girls holding onto Rapunzel's hair (bottom right). Then Kayley just being cute (left middle) and also not make believe as she is really cute in real life too! The girls were way excited about Rapunzel's hair as almost every night they request Nick to tell them this story as their bedtime story once they are tucked into bed. It's pretty cute! So we took this picture for Daddy who had to work while we were having fun!
Cora on the other hand seemed to love it! Nick actually got her to try and skate a bit by herself without us holding her hands or coat or anything. She actually did pretty good skating by herself too...we were impressed. She wouldn't let me let go of her hands at all though...must be a Dad thing. But boy was my back tired after skating with her...not only did I have to bend over the whole time with her being so short, but if he skates got mixed up or crooked or anything, she would just pick up both of her feet letting me carry her the rest of the way!
Then later that night....ok don't laugh, but let me just start with the fact that you all know that Nick and I are cheap. So for dinner we had found some Captain D's coupons and I just LOVE their jalepeno cheddar bites, so we decided to do dinner there. We get there and waited at the counter for at least 15-20 minutes waiting for someone to come and take our order. Nick even got on their microphone that they use to call out the order to the back and said that we were up there...still no one. We could hear them in the back talking, but no one was coming up. We wanted to wait and let them know they lost our business because of their bad customer service. So as we were waiting we went ahead and called Texas Roadhouse to do call ahead seating. They finally came out and asked us what we wanted as if we had just walked in. We told them how long we had been waiting and they apologized....there were 3 workers!! Apparently one was training two of them and she told the trainees that this was why you never left the registered unoccupied. They again asked us what we wanted and we told them we weren't giving them our business b/c of their bad customer service. We even told them we got on the microphone to let them hear us and no one came! Needless to say, it felt good to walk out, but I was really sad I didn't get my jalepeno cheddar bites. Nick said I should just order through the window and then I could eat them on my way to Texas Roadhouse, but I didn't want them to have the satisfaction of getting our business. Anyway, so we went to McD's next door to pick up our movie from Redbox and headed to Texas Roadhouse. We received GREAT service there!! And yes, I know you're wondering...we also had a coupon for there too and they didn't even take our coupon, so we get to go and use it again...with the great service we got, we may just go there next week! :) Then we headed home and watched Love Happens...such a great movie! It was pretty predictable, but I was just so relieved to finally watch a movie where you're not having to screen the scenes...there were absolutely NO inappropriate scenes! A little bit of language, but nothing like most other PG-13....for instance, no F word! I hate how it seems like they feel like they have to put in the F word only b/c it's a PG-13. Anyway, I highly recommend this movie to anyone it was a really good movie. Nick even dreaded watching it, but actually enjoyed it! 
She was right...but not because of the no hair thing, but luckily that is what she still thinks for now!! :) We are excited and to be honest a bit relieved, however let the record show that we both would have been ok with a girl, it may just have taken me a bit longer to be ok with the idea of it. Now I have to get over the fact that we are actually having a boy, which means a total change of scenery for us! Oh well, we are excited either way!
This group is my favorite group, the one on the left looks kind of funny cause he was just caught at a bad angle and then the one on the right looks like he's scratching his head trying to figure out what we are doing to him.
Then here are some more side profile pics on the left and a pic of his backside on the right, which I don't ever remember having of the girls...I guess of the spine. Also, I didn't get a pic of it, but the tech was able to show us a picture of one of his ears, it was funny cause it already for sure had Nick's shape of ear. Funny that at such a small age and being so small...he was only 10 ounces...he's already just like his Daddy! :) We are so excited to have a boy, but I'm still in a bit of shock that we're having a boy! Now I have to get boy toys like trucks and things for him otherwise this kid will have a complex playing with all our princess stuff in this house! :)
About a week ago we watched Katrina and Olivia for the day on a Saturday. Bass Pro was having a Boat Show day and they were doing a free boat making for kids and refreshments. So we took the girls to go make a boat. They loved it because they got to paint their own boats. Here's a picture of them hard at work on each of their boats!
We also watched Katrina earlier today and while I was doing the dishes, they were all three playing quietly in the other room, so I didn't disturb them as most of the time if one of them (namely Katrina and Cora) ran into the other one for whatever reason, the other one would come to me and say, "she hit me!" This occurred probably about 50 times that day! So needless to say, when they were playing quietly I did not disturb them! So, they then came in showing me their artwork! Apparently the girls had a lip gloss necklace that I had forgotten they had (I usually don't do real/fake makeup so it doesn't end up all over my house!) Luckily Kayley told me she didn't like wearing lip gloss, so it was the two misfits below...but it was funny! And actually after I washed it all off, I couldn't get quite all of it off and I have to say that the purple color actually looked pretty good on Cora...I think that might be her color when she is old enough to wear makeup!
