New Groove

We are getting into a new groove with 3 kids 3 and under in the house.

The girls still love to dump everything out of the toy bin and sit in them.

This is after bath, right before putting the girls to bed, Jer reading to Stella and Henry.

The girls love to hold Henry's hands, he is not quite as excited about it.

Jer built a sledding hill in the yard, he and the girls have been enjoying going down it.  Sometimes Stella falls out but doesn't use her arms to break her fall and ends up with a face full of snow.

When Jer is on the sled he needs to help push it along.  They had a blast :)

The girls were watching the fan go around in our bedroom. 

Beans

Leila has not been eating all of her food lately, claiming to have an upset stomach, so we have been saving things for her to eat from meal to meal so that she does not actually get out of eating them so that she will hopefully grow out of this.  So at lunch today she chose not to finish her beans, and was informed that before she could have anything else to eat, she would need to eat the beans.  She chose not to eat the beans and not to have a snack.  She was helping me put sprinkles on some cookies that I made and some extra sprinkles made it onto the counter.  I went into the other room to check on Stella, and when I came back, she was chewing.  I asked her what she was eating, and with a straight face she said, "Beans."  I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing.  I knew she was lying to me, she knew she was lying to me, and we both laughed.  She still hasn't eaten those beans.

Stay at Home Fun

The girls got a My Little Pony house that they like to play with together.  I wouldn't necessarily call it sharing, more like if she is playing with it, I want to play with it, move over!  :)

Henry still sleeps quite a bit.

His big sisters love to hold him!  Stella's limit is usually about 3 seconds, but she asks to hold him quite often.

Jeremy took the girls outside in their snowsuits for a sled ride, then demonstrated a snow angel

and offered to throw them into the air

Stella took him up on it, she actually went higher, but it is hard to time the camera to take the picture at the peak.

Stella and Leila love to play in Henry's activity gym.

Leila likes to put on a show.  I didn't put it all into the frame, but she is standing on a step stool, that is her stage.

Now Stella is on the step stool.  She has reached the awkward kid smile stage.  I can just hear her saying "CHEESE!"

Henry has started to like to take a pacifier, although he found his thumb for a while today.  We will see which way he goes.  Stella used a pacifier for a while, then switched to her thumb.

Sledding

Jer pulled both girls around the block

They love to ride in their sleds!
