HAT BLOGGING! BALTIMORE STYLE!

We are gearing up for our first Twins game at Target Field, outdoor baseball is back! Hats, check, mittens, check, rain coat, check, blankets, check, peanuts, check, cracker jacks, check.

Take me out to the ball game.....

Who deserves my support, the Orioles or the Twins.....tough call, we'll cheer for both...

Hey, Mae-Mae, you've got a quite plump money sock, how 'bout helping out a sister?!!

It's a start....

Play Ball!

Slumber Party!
Starring-Lucy, Marigny and Johanna

Our first slumber party! Kicked off with cheesy pizza and the promise of a movie if we ate our carrots.

What's a movie without popcorn, made in a Kitty Hello popcorn maker, no less?!!

Glued to the awesomeness of "My Neighbor Totoro".

After a brief interlude of sleep (10:30-5:45) we needed bacon, lots and lots of bacon. Our folks needed coffee, lots and lots of coffee.

Cheese! We closed with baby-mommy-ballerina-princess-cooking-picnic time.

Memorable quotes from the slumber party:

Johanna-Slumber parties are really, really, really, really, really, reeeaaaaallly, fun.

Johanna to Marigny-I went to the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie with my cousins in Portland.
Maringy responds (naturally)-Did you know our President is Obama?

Lucy-Do you remember last time, when you came over to our house after swimming, and we ate lunch?
Johanna-Yeah! And our Moms were here, and we played and read books. Do you remember that?
Lucy-Yeah, and you were here, and Sissy too! Remember?
Johanna-Yeah, that was fun.

HAT BLOGGING!

What better way to bring it back after almost a whole month than hat blogging! Choo-choo!!!

Mae-Mae and Lulu conducting the choo-choo train at Van Cleve Park

We couldn't decide what to get uncle Jonathan for his birthday, so we wrote him a birthday jam. We like to call it "The princess with the flag".




We were so exhausted from rockin' out that we could not remember the words to the happy birthday song. This is what we could manage:




HAPPY JONATHAN!

Cheese!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Catching up on 2010!

Lucy ringing in the new year

Marigny welcoming 2010

Gigi sent us a cupcake cookbook a while back and we finally made a batch. Lulu and Dada whipped up some goodies while Marigny was sick in bed last week.

YUM!

Thanks for the new PJs, Nana! They sure are cozy.

Winter blues, here? Nope! Marigny & Mama

Mama & Lucy

OK, maybe a slight case of the blahs today.

Ho-hum.....

To get us through the gray, damp days of February we have been having dance parties. Videos to follow. Our favorite tunes to boogie to today (we may have taken some liberties with the song titles):
The Beatles, White Album, Disc 1
Track 1 The Backpack Song
Track 4 The Marketplace Song
Track 6 Bill, Ella's Dad's Song
Track 11 The Broken Wings Song
Track 12 The Piggie Song
Track 13 The Rocky Song
Track 14 The Footstep Song (AKA Don't Make Me Blue)
Track 14 The Pancake Song (We asked Mama what "Why don't we just do it in the road" means and she said maybe they eat pancakes in the road)

Checking in with Santa, 2009

We had been looking forward to seeing Santa and talked about what we would say to him but when the time came, frankly, we found him quite frightening!

Dad tried to show us that Santa was harmless, the over-enthusiasm kind of killed it for us....

I wanted to crawl into a hole and hide! -Lucy

But wait, he had toys for brave kids, we dug deep for some courage....

Magic Christmas Bells!

Did we dare accept this offer from Santa?

We did, with a little help from Mom....

Every year we get a little braver, Merry Christmas!

Happy St. Nick's Day!

We must have been really good because St. Nick left us new slippers and a squeaky-bird toy! And later today, we are going to our first movie in a theater!!!! Hope St. Nick was nice to y'all. xo Lucy and Marigny
