I love that the girls love playing together but are really just fine playing on their own too. 
These tot tower blocks are FANTASTIC.  Lots of stories to tell from them, great for identifying numbers, shapes, animals, etc., and also great for building and sorting.  We LOVE them.

e.t.a. Blocks are available at Land of Nod.

I took the girlies to the zoo today and got them signed up for the library's summer reading program.  They were super excited to go.  The whole way there they talked about seeing the elephants.  Once there, Nala  was afraid of everything.  She wanted to stay in her stroller and refused to get close to the exhibits.  Nia had a great time.  I clearly forgot what a pain our traditional double stroller was.  My arms got a great workout.  Never again...it was so inappropriate for a zoo trip!  I missed my little stroller, but it was nice to be able to attach my camera bag :)

These pics highlight two things the girls love...Ring around the Rosie and Coloring...

More importantly (j/k) they got their first pairs of flip flops this weekend.  In my house, this is worth documenting.  I LOVE flip flops and was excited to find these with the straps on the back at Babies R Us.  (For yourselves mommies, JCREW flip flops are the way to go!)

E.T.A. -  For those that commented/emailed - the camera shirt is from Babies R US...super cheap (<$10.00)

The girls don't always get along perfectly (they are all strong willed and want to be the boss!) ...but I sure love when they do.   The best Mother's Day present...these three...enjoying eachothers company...dancing and grooving to their own beats.  

The girls got me lots of handmade items.  I have several handprints ;), a lavendar project, color sheets, foot bath salts, cards, bookmarks, and a canvas. 
Another fantastic Mother's Day Gift was finding out that I won a fantastic prize on Clickinmoms for the bottom picture in this post!  Woohoo!  So glad we stopped to take a pic that evening to soak in that gorgeous light.

Happy Mother's Day!

Never mind our messy garage...my limb chops (no time to change lenses - I can't take my eyes off of the little ones long enough for that)...and the ill put together collage...this is just easier than uploading individual pics ;)

MacKenzie wrapped her gymnastics season this weekend.  She had her second best meet of the season, but didn't qualify for the state banquet.  She was very disappointed and  actually shed some tears.  That is really unlike her.  In fact, we get on to her for not caring enough sometimes.  There was only one girl on her team that qualified this year.  I think it may have been harder for MacK because she did qualify last year so she actually knows what she'll be missing out on...I felt bad, but the truth is...that's life.  You win some...you lose some...and...there is always next year :) 

Below that I have the second installment of Me and Mine.  You can see the first here.  The girls and I played around a bit with the timer.  Yes, I know...I said, I was going to do this once a month...let's change that to once a quarter :)  The girls again loved seeing me run back and forth to set the timer and really wanted to help.  Maybe one day we'll actually fix ourselves up for a me and mine...not today though...settling for no make up and crazy hair instead. :)
