Princess fun

On Saturday we had Aunt Julie take the twins to town for a little bit so Mom, Olivia, Emilie and I could decorate the house a little for the girls 5th Birthday. We were going to have a Princess party for them, like their big sisters had when they turned 5, but it didn't work out as planned. Since they were looking forward to it we did a few things. We played a couple games, girls dressed up and they played with their cousin Alena. After supper we had Grandma and Grandpa Coffey over for cake.

Field trip with Emilie..

Emilie had her first field trip yesterday. The weather was nicer than we all thought. We dressed in layers and took the umbrella, but didn't need it. We went to Cranes orchard for a hay ride, corn maze and learned about the cycle of apple tree and how to make some cider. Then he ate lunch at cranes and then went to The Wise Preserve for a nature walk and to collect some leaves.

Emilie and I had a great time.

Fall...Apples!!

On Friday my sister, Julie came up with her two daughters, Alena (2 yrs) and Mia (3 months) for a few days. I took Alena with me to pick up the girls from school. She loved it and couldn't wait to see her Annie. The girls were super excited to see Alena at their school too. After we gathered the girls we came home and Darren took off work early and we all headed out to pick apples. My Mom was still here so we had quite the crew.

Speaking of Applesauce...my little Mia had her first baby food and it was applesauce Aunt Regina and Mawmaw made. It made me a little happy! :)

5th Birthday..

Allie and Annie celebrated their 5th Birthday this week.

My Mom has been here for the last couple weeks. So they were excited that she was here for their birthday. They had a fun day. The girls went to school and it was their turn to bring snack so we did a birthday treat. On Sunday we made heart sugar cookies. The girls each chose a color for icing, blue for Allie and pink for Annie. So we did Teal blue and Hot pink and then all the girls put sprinkles on them. They were so cute.

  

While they were at school Mom decorated their room to

surprise them when they got home.

When the girls got back home from school Grandma Coffey and Great Grandma VanKoevering came over for a visit and to bring the girls over their birthday gifts. (One more Grandma and they would of had them all in one room at the same time.)

Grandma and Grandpa Coffey gave the girls magnetic dolls and a coloring book.

After the grandmas left it took the girls awhile to find their decorated room.

Their face says it all!! Love it.

Annie with her birthday crown!

Allie found her gift from Mommy and Daddy.

We ended the day with dinner at Red Lobster.

We had lots of fun!

Only thing to make it perfect would of been Pawpaw with us!

School starts again!

On Tuesday the girls started another year of school. They were all super excited and still are. Olivia is now a 3rd grader, Emilie..1st grade and Annie and Allie are now in Young fives. This is the first year all the girls will be in school all day and everyday. It's kind of weird and different for me to be without any girls during the day, everyday. It hasn't really hit me yet because I have been gone all day for the last few days, busy at work and fair starts this week.

I did take pics of the girls waiting for the bus...they all seemed to blink or make a face in about every pic. :)
