Those of you with accute hearing will pick up on the girls saying "leave a message" when they are done with the alphabet song. Here's the background on that...when Trevor was little, we had him sing his version of the alphabet song as our answering machine message. We also had him say "leave a message" when he was done. So now, of course, that phrase has been ingrained into the alphabet song in our house.

Can they really be ready for preschool!?!

Allie and Kara have had so much fun checking out preschools! They are anxious to go now. We were going to put them in this year but after seeing how much we would spend for two years and two kids at the same time we decided this year we would work at home and next year they will go to Pre-K. It has been hard to find preschools willing to let them in Pre-K as their birthday hits right after the cutoff, but we have found a couple willing to make an exception!

Each morning the girls do their calendar and are doing a great job memorizing the days of the week! We are working on letters too. The girls surprised me by writing their names! I will post pics later. They can recognize most letters now and know most of their sounds. Thanks to their AWESOME big brother who likes to play "Teacher". He loves to teach them everything he knows and they LOVE listening to him and soak it all in! I can't believe my babies are growing up and going to school next year!

All 3 kids have been enjoying swimming lessons. Trevor can now swim the short length of the pool! He has come a long way from his first lesson! The girls took to the water with no problem at all and have WAY to much confidence in the water for a 3 year old :) Trev is excited to start spring soccer and the girls will continue with swim lessons.

We had a rare snow event a couple weeks ago and had about a foot of snow! It was a nice week off staying home all week. Scott was able to work from home and luckily I stock up on food when it is on sale and we did not have to leave our house. We went sledding with our neighbors and the girls had a hard time walking in the snow so Daddy had to carry them to and from the sledding hill. Only down side is we are in school for a week longer. But we sure did enjoy the snow!
