Fashion Friday: BRIGHT

Grace is wearing bright blue tights from Target, a denim skirt from Target, a white tee from Old Navy and a bright coral trench from Kohls. I picked this because is it sunny and bright like spring and I really like the coat. The ruffle on the bottom is fun and I love the pretty buttons.

longwood gardens

We went to Longwood Gardens this weekend. It was so pretty and really fun. We love taking pictures. Ellie used her iPod and Grace used her camera.

We liked seeing all of the cool flowers. Some of them were really pretty, some were really cool and some were really weird!!

We liked the Venus Fly Traps. We wished we had a fly so we could watch the plants eat a fly. We saw it on Planet Earth, but not in real life.

We even got to plant some plants.

It was really really fun. We want to go back when it is warm out and we can see all the stuff outside. Then we can take lots more pictures. And make sure you bring more batteries, because our camera ran out.

disclosure: we got to visit the museum free, thanks to visitphilly.com. please check our mom's blog for full disclosure policy.

academy of natural science

Today we had no school. (YIPEEEEEE) so we went to the Academy of Natural Science. Our brother calls it the dinosaur museum.
We like this museum a lot - it is kind of like a museum and a zoo, because it has a lot of live things you can see, too, which is really cool.
There wasn't a lot of people there, so it was like having our own museum. It was awesome, because the last time we went it was super crowded. We saw the dinosaurs first. They are a little scary because they have really big teeth. We're glad they are not alive anymore!! We were very brave:

Colin was giggling and screaming when the dinosaurs came behind us. It was so funny. We don't think he knows its just pretend!
Then we went upstairs and saw all kinds of animals. There was a real, real live shunk, but it didn't smell. We pet a lizard and turtles.

Then, we were the only ones in the whole place and we asked the lady if we could touch a bug! And she said okay! We were so so so scared. Mommy touched it first - so then we each decided to touch it. Then... it CLIMBED UP GRACE'S ARM!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! It was cool, but really gross. It was hard not to scream! Ellie thought it would jump on her head.

IT was so fun. We love museums.

p.s.
Ellie says "MOOOOOOOO!!!"

Fashion Friday!

We wanted to do Fashion Friday, like mom.

Ellie wore:

My navy moose shirt from Abercrombie. I like this shirt because its long and soft and it has a moose. I had to wear a long sleeve shirt under it because Mom said it was cold. My jeans are from 77kids and these are my NEW BOOTS! I wanted Uggs really bad, but mom says my feet grow too fast. These are called BearPaw, which is cool because they have a bear paw on them.

Grace wore:

I got this dress for Chrismas. Its from Old Navy and it has sparkley lines in it. I had to wear a shirt under because it is cold outside. I wore jeggings too, because I had gym class today.

SNOW

It finally, finally SNOWED! YAY!!!

We love sledding! One time we hit the tree, but it was okay because we weren't going very fast.

We wish it would snow more. This is the first time we got to go sledding all year. Next time it needs to snow on a school day!!

Christmas!!!

On Christmas Day, we got to see Marcus. He is so cute.

It was his first Christmas because he is a baby. He is 4 months old. I held him a lot. I like holding him.

We got donuts on Christmas morning. We love donuts.

Grace got a necklace with her name on it. She loved it.

Christmas is so so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love Christmas!!!! And Jesus!

our kitties

We got cats for Christmas and we are so so happy. We were asking and asking and asking and asking for a pet and we were so surprised when Mom and Daddy said we could get one!

This is Shadow. She is tiny and black. She likes to get in trouble by climbing on the curtains and likes to pounce on things, like a puma. Her favorite things are playing with balls and snuggling with us.

This is Sadie. She is brown and black and white. She is a snuggle bug and has the loudest purr ever! (She is sitting in Ellie's lap.)

They really like the Christmas tree and keep patting the ornaments with their paws. They didn't knock it down, though. Colin did that with a baseball bat. Mom was not very happy and he got in trouble.

We LOOOOOOOVE having our kitties!!
