One day that week, we went to a new bakery in Mansfield, and picked out a cupcake for each girl and two for Daddy!
We got Daddy the pancake and bacon maple cupcake! He LOVED it!
He said it was savory and sweet!
Bubbles cure everything, so that evening we went outside and played and played and played!
Brother had a little diaper rash, so I let him run around without a diaper, and he was SO happy!
He loves to chase bubbles!!!
A few months ago, I started having "extra cuddle time" with this one on Mondays and Thursdays at night. I can't lay down with her on the top bunk, so after we put Feliicty to bed (when Daddy is home to keep her there), we go to the couch and cuddle and talk about her day for 15 extra minutes. She looks forward to it so much! She never ever forgets, and the excitement that it brings her reminds me how important it is to make sure she gets alone time with Mama.
This is a terrible phone picture, but I love my mantel, and I love this new picture that I had printed of my babies! Thanks, Kerri!
My big girl and I went to one of her friend's birthday parties, but it wasn't just any party! It was a SPA party for the girls AND their dolls! :)
First, she put on her new monogrammed robe, and then we put her hair up in a towel.
Then, she started painting on her mask.
So fun!
After painting on her mask, she and her friends took a little rest with cucumbers on their eyes! I couldn't help but wish that was me lying down with cucumbers on my eyes! ha!!!! :)
Kindergarten will make a girl tired! ;)
After rinsing the masks off their faces, the girls rotated through several spa statoins! There was a hair station, a makeup station, a fingernails station, a fingernail stickers station, a pedicure station, a foot soaking station, and a station to do a facial for your doll! These girls had SO much fun!
This is Mrs. Emily doing Avaree's hair!
Love it!
Beauty!
So pretty!

Nails by the hilarious, Mrs. Jennifer!
She is the best and was cracking us both up the whole time!

Introducing the new American Girl, Avaree Barton!
My friend, Hillary Hutto, took these sweet photos with her big camera!
Using the mirror to take off her mask!

Beauty!!!!!
The next morning, I had LAPS with this little guy and six other fun little crazies!
He loves the boat!
...and he loves Olivia!!! They are betrothed and all...
So sweet!
Happy buddy cruising with his best girl!
That afternoon after church, the littles took naps, and then it was cuddle time for these two sisters.
That Monday, I braved Kinder lunch with my littles! I don't go often because Avaree usually cries (and it's very hard to keep Brandt and Felicity contained in a crazy room full of children), but she was so happy that we went, and the littles did pretty well!
Felicity was holding the phone, I was holding all the kids, and I pressed the button with my finger!
Happy kiddos!
Love my babies! :)
The best part of lunch was NO TEARS (from anyone)!!!!
That evening, the pumpkins were sooooo happy when Daddy came home.
That night, we had a bit of scare with smelling gas in our house (RIGHT AT BEDTIME), so we had to call our amazing fire department! They were so kind to the kids, and they gave them all stickers. It ended up being nothing, but it made for an eventful evening, and three kids that did NOT want to go to bed! Thank you, AFD!
The next morning, it was time for a 3-year-old checkup and a 15-month check up!
Felicity was so excited to show Dr. Fikkert her sticker from the firefighters!
The next day, I got the "good mama" award for giving in and letting the munchkins jump in the rain puddles in our driveway! By the time we went inside, no one was wearing pants, and one (can you guess) was only wearing a pull-up!
I blame this event on Papa and Niecey and their bug camp!! hahaha! This one was so excited to pick up and "love on" a worm!
This guy turned 15 months old, and he was so happy to smile for me!
He took a nap on top of his Frozen book and with his blanket on his head! He makes sleeping look good!
Also, he climbs on everything now! At least 15 times a day, I find him on top of the fireplace, on a stool, in a chair, or anything that he can reach! He's such a little monkey!
...and this girl still loves to read--especially in a pretty dress!
Our Daddy was running a fever, but he still led the Lionheart kids in singing a couple of songs at Barnes and Noble! We went to support him! It's so fun to watch all of the kids adore him!
