Why does Oreo keep making regular cookies?

Does anyone NOT buy Double Stuff?

Week in Review

Margot is adorable.

especially when she falls asleep in her bouncy chair.

Babies in the morning:

Portia is really cool.

Zoo babies

Yesterday was beautiful out, so we went to the zoo! It was a little harder than usual, since Daddy was at school, but the girls and I had a blast!

Portia had so much fun, she pretended to be animals the rest of the day!

Ribbit!

advertising at it's finest

This is my favorite commercial.

hahahahahaha

things I'm lovin today

Today has been hard. Portia is still sick, and we spent almost 2 hours in the doctor's office this morning. Those of you with small kids know how un-fun that is. Brandon and I have not been sleeping well, since Portia has been waking up several times a night. Add that to Margot's several times a night, and you get reeeeaaaalllly tired parents.

I was really hoping for a nap this afternoon while these babies were sleeping, but it didn't happen. I was pretty sad. It seems that not much is going right for us, so I decided to write this post about what is.

ahem

Things I'm Lovin Today:

1. Corndogs and a large Dr. Pepper. You know that's right.

2. The fact that Portia only has the flu and not strep throat. I have heard strep is going around, and was worried. But the doc said she is on the tail end of the flu and it should work it's way out of her system in a day or two.

3. The fact that Margot has not caught the flu from her sister. It's really a miracle. None of us got flu shots this years, and I was sure that with the close proximity of these girls, Margot would get sick too. But she hasn't! I think Heavenly Father knew I couldn't handle both of them being sick right now. Either that or she has super powers (forcefield, anyone?)

4. The fact that I get to hang out with my family in Tulsa all next week! Wooo!

5. J. K. Rowling just announced that she is writing another book. You have no idea how happy this makes me. I'll give you a hint: super super happy.

6. America's Next Top Model starts on Wednesday. Bring on the crying!

I feel better already.

forts

The last few days, Portia has been sick. Fever, coughing, nasty stuff. Today she seems to be feeling a bit better, only because I made her a blanket fort.

She loves blanket forts. I made this one a few days ago:

She spent hours in there.

This is what she looks like today:

Falling asleep while watching Curious George on the ipod. Poor thing.

babies, crafts, and romance

Portia is really into "getting married" right now. She loves looking at pictures of weddings, watching movies with weddings, and pretending to get married herself. So when we went to her Valentine's Day party, and there was a dress up bride outfit, Portia was in heaven. So I decided to make her a bride veil and tutu.
It's my first time making tutus, and I think it turned out pretty good! She loves it. She's been prancing around the house talking about her upcoming wedding all day.

Owen is a little boy her age, who Portia adores!

Sweet babies!
