A & J-lunch

So easy! (Pinterest)

So loved by the little ladies ;)

blessed

last night the girls stayed at grandma & grandpa stoltzfus's for the evening

& today grandma jane was here with them. 

(they said they read books all morning:)

& and know that my dad would LOVE to see the girls more often.

we are blessed.

our fun day in KOP

This morning I had a hair appt. down close to KOP.

I thought that I had babysitting lined up...but then that fell through

so I took the girls with.

I wasn't sure how it would go cause apart from the fact that it took over an hour to get to the salon,

(i only go to this place about once a year...but i love the stylist there!!)

I knew that I had a return to make at IKEA &

that I needed groceries too.

Never the less-I figured...they are old enough to "learn" how to "act" in public ;)

My hair cut went well...

& IKEA went well too.

Although Jyla fell asleep on the 15 minute car ride between the salon & IKEA..

so I carried her (top right pic below)

& tried to push the side-way rolling cart with 1 hand...while Addie rode on the back :)

I pretty much made a fool out of myself...
At IKEA Addalie quickly remembered that they had a play area for kids to stay at while parents shop. 

Well Jyla is not nearly tall enough to "get in" & every time she gets so so SO upset.

The same thing happened today as Addalie got to go but she didn't. 

After that we went to my favorite grocery store!

"wegmans"

(while we were there, they both had total melt-downs...actually i kinda did too..so i guess that makes 3!) 

what is it with kids & grocery stores??????????

On the way home from Wegmans  we were hungry & I realized that we were only about 30 minutes from market...so we took a detour & surprised Scott.

But, I'm not sure if he evens knows we were there???  It was pretty busy!

Fun day all around...hopefully I wore them out & they will both sleep all night long tonight!!?

bed time tent

Today I washed Addalie's sheets

& before I had a chance to re-make her bed,

she & Jyla had made a tent.

They used the corners of her bed & her little IKEA reading chair with a fitted sheet pulled across.

They begged to sleep here together all night....

Scott & I just kinda looked at each other
because Jyla STILL doesn't sleep well at night.

but since nights around here are NEVER uninterrupted...

we decided it can't be much worse then it usually is :) 

Proud little girls in the "tent" 

ps-we didn't hear a peep all night.

i can't remember the last time that jyla slept through the night!?

what a nice break it was for us to not be woken up.

garden planted.

Thank you Scott for enlarging my garden

Easter

 

 

Easter Bunny at Village Greens. 

Every year they have an Easter Egg Hunt.  The girls love it! 

Jyla-Addalie-Savanna (our neighbor girl that is 8 days older than Addalie) 

Jyla-Ashtyn-Addalie

(our neighbor on the other side that is just a little younger then Addie) 

My girls are blessed with neighbor friends :)

Easter Sunday

My beautiful girls!!! 

On Sunday after we got home from church we had a mini-egg hunt with the girls.

We hid them-they found them & then they hid them & Scott & I found the eggs.

The girls weren't sure what to do when Scott & I started running & pushing & being competitive!!

 (me in heels...clearly a disadvantage-but I was still able to manage winning :))

Didn't get pics of that...but did of the girls.

So sweet!  I love the "jyla in action" one.

"He is Risen"

"He is Risen Indeed"

Scott taught the girls this & they said it over & over & over & over. 

It was a good reminder of what we were celebrating!  :)
