The girls like to make "trains" with the dominoes, where they make a long line across the floor, matching the colors/# of dots end to end. The other night Reese made a letter E and got so excited she decided to do her name. We made a B for Baby Brother, an A for Aaron, and an M for Meg, but they were quickly destroyed by little miss Q for Quincy.
Also, a big THANK YOU for the Valentine packages we received last week! Grandma Lynda sent the girls really cute Valentine bowls with PINK heart shaped rice krispy treats, and handmade chocolate pretzels in them. YUM! They've been eating cereal from the bowls all week, and of course, the krispy treats were devoured instantly, along with the candies you sent for Aaron and I. I THOUGHT the girls were in Reese's room playing dollhouse, but it turns out they were snickering and stuffing their pink little cheeks with chocolates and jellybeans....except the one chocolate that Quincy decided she didn't like, spit back out and left half-chewed in the dollhouse attic. I guess they figured the whole package was meant for them. I knew something must be up, because they were playing a little too quietly.
On the SAME DAY, the girls also got another package! Lucky ducks! This one was from Grandma Lynn and Grandpa Punkin'. I saved the letters you wrote them, so I can put them in their scrapbooks (if I ever find time or energy to scrapbook again).
The heart suckers were finally finished off last week. I tried to convince Reese to give them away to her friends with her valentine cards, and she replied, "OR...I have an idea! I could eat two of them today, and Quincy can eat two of hers, and then we can give one to daddy, and eat the rest on another day! Isn't that a great idea? Oh. Do you and brother want one? Quincy has lots to share".
Quincy unwrapped ALL of the suckers the same day and sucked on each of them about 5 minutes, then got mad at them for making her hands sticky. She'd throw away the half-eaten sucker, wash off with a baby wipe then move on to opening the next one.
And thank you for the Dora Old Maid and Go Fish Games! Quincy fell in LOVE the second she saw "My Dowah" on them, and they have been playing Memory Match with the cards for days...and I've been finding sticky Dora and Boots cards everywhere for days. Seriously. Everywhere. The tub. The laundry. Every drawer in the kitchen. And my personal favorite...Tico the Squirrel wrapped tenderly in a pair of my underwear and stuffed back in the top drawer of my dresser. Anyway, the kids are lucky to have such fantastic grandparents! Thank you for all the valentine treats!Sorry there are no pics of Quin in this post...she was probably off in another room climbing on something or taking everything out of everything everywhere!
