Gretta was a little under the weather the other day and Maggie took full advantage of big sister's unexpected morning snooze.

Then there was snuggling and cards.....

Nesting and such

 photo Blog2323_zpsd479ddfd.jpg 
So don't think I've mentioned that the girls have been sharing a room since the summer so we won't have to really transition Maggie out of her room for the baby, which is great! However, I needed to nest so we've made some changes to the room! Here's the room before......

Also decided to spruce up our old glider chair.....

 photo Blog2325_zps8eae1c9f.jpg
Its not perfect by any means but looks a little more updated!

 photo Blog2327_zps68dd2de2.jpg
Then I added a fun fabric to these navy curtains. So nesting continues over here and we've painted the room a light green, I'll show more when we get some things hung on the wall!

Off to a new "park" today. Really it was just an outdoor mall with a playground, some statues and ducks. The girls were entranced by the statues however, guess we haven't exposed them to many!

Low-Key

Lately life is just low-key, no real big adventures and not a lot of picture taking. I got to visit Gretta's school today while another preschool mom watched Maggie. I think both girls really enjoyed themselves! Gretta got mom to herself for a few hours and Maggie got to play at someone else's house all by herself! Have really been enjoying watching the girls play and take in all the hilarious, adorable things they are saying and doing! A bit of an announcement, Maggie is now potty trained, which comes in the nick of time and we're all pretty excited about that!  Also, watching the excitement grow between the girls for baby to come! They talk to and kiss the belly, ask what baby is doing and what he'll do when he comes out. Maggie asked one day if baby was playing with toys in there! Gretta enjoys feeling baby kick, talking about names and all the things they will do when he finally comes. Kisses, cuddles and holding are high on the list. She has also offered to change diapers! Anyway, just trying to drink it all up before life becomes a little more full......

Gretta had to change her headband one day to one that had "more sparkle"

I have a feeling this will be a common sight in a couple months.....

This was on my phone, so sorry for quality but it was just so funny how she was trying to balance the book on her knees, then she did this all on her own.....

Ah-ha moment of getting a chair to put her legs on!
