February 12th

We started off the morning by going to Stake Conference. 


Doesn't Rachel look sweet?


She LOVES her ruby slippers.



After church Doug got to work making shells and white cheddar while I changed everybody into play clothes.  Rachel is the queen of "sneak attack" hugs.  It looks like she got one in return.


Rachel's first true love...her daddy.


Hi Mom!



Rachel really wanted to play ring around the rosie with Joseph.  Doug was kind enough to help her make that happen.




Rachel loves to help let Zoe out to potty and then let her back in again.  "Zoe!  In the house!"


"Is there a bee on me?"


"Good girl."


This was my lunch.  Chicken salad.  I have eaten more salads in the last 2 months (since I joined Weight Watchers) than I have in the entire decade previous.  I'm learning to enjoy them.  Plus, I am happy that my kids are seeing them eaten.


Everybody got to take an after lunch nap.  Poor Rachel had a rough time waking up.
 

She bounced back pretty quickly.  I keep this trampoline in the library.  I'm supposed to jump for a minute every time I go to sit down at my computer.  Some days I am more diligent than others. Rachel uses it the most.
 

Joe is always looking for something to put in his mouth.  Today it was Marge Simpson.
 

Rachel likes to spin in my office chair.  She is a girl after my own heart.
 

These two squeezed in some playtime before bed.
