First, our impromptu trip to DC on February 18th!
Always some kind of protest going on....
Ari in front of the North Lawn (I think....it might be the South Lawn...it's a lawn. At the White House.)
That's definitely the South Lawn.
You don't say.....
The few Occupy Wall Street people that were left. We went back once again after this and they were all gone.
Speaking of impromptu trips, the girls and I also took one up to NYC to meet Jon who was there for work. We stayed at a GORGEOUS beach house in Sea Bright, NJ (and of course I didn't think to take any pictures of it) and took a ferry into the city. Sadly, I didn't get very many pictures of the city itself. The first day we went, it was already dark by the time we got there and then the second day, it rained and I don't have a weather kit for my camera so it had to stay in the bag. We had a nice time walking around though! We took the girls to visit some of the people that Jon knows at Fox, went to lunch, walked around the huge Tiffany & Co, played with the iPads at Apple, and spent hours at FAO Schwartz!
We left at 8am and didn't get out of DC until around 11am. Traffic out here is HORRID in the AM.
Ah, tolls. Though they aren't nearly as bad when you only go as far as Jersey. I remember spending a lot more last time we drove out and actually drove in to Manhattan.
Riding the ferry into Manhattan on Leap Day 2012!
Second day of our trip at FAO Schwartz!
Pretty much the entire first level of FAO is filled with candy. I'm not sure who was more excited- me or Ari. I love candy!
It's a coin bank.
Sweet kisses!
Lucy fell asleep so Jon and I took turns taking Ari up to the second floor where most of the toys and books are. She really liked these 3D models.
Original Barbie and Ken dolls.
Wizard of Oz Barbies!
She spent about an hour playing with these Stinky Kid dolls, haha.
We arrived back in VA around 5pm on March 1st which also happens to be the day that my mom flew in from AZ for a week! She spent the first half of the week with Uncle Bob and Aunt JoAnn (as well as Uncle Mick and Aunt Suzanne who were also in town)
March 2nd was Dr. Seuss' birthday so there was a special celebration at school that Grandma got to come and participate in! They did a hat craft, watched some classic Dr. Seuss videos, and ate some themed sweets!
Making a Cat In the Hat hat!
Watching The Cat In the Hat.
Recess!
Two snacks for Dr. Seuss day and a cupcake from a little girl who also had a birthday that day!
Playing soccer in the backyard with Grandma.
A couple of days after Grandma left, we had a playdate at the park with our friends Karoline, Micah, and Kirah! The kids had a BLAST and wore off a ton of energy. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous here for the past week and a half. Sunny 70's with a slight breeze. I really wish it would stay this way year round so we could spend every day outside playing!
She looks like she's being bossy, but these two play together SO well!
Line at the slide which the babies LOVED! They wanted to slide down over and over.
And we're finally caught up to last week! St. Patrick's Day. We're not Irish (my mom's side of the family is, but that's it) so we don't really celebrate, but it was a good opportunity for some cute photos! These are the ones that I didn't post in the St. Patrick's Day entry.
I can't remember why she was crying. She probably didn't want her picture taken. Or maybe she didn't want to leave the hat on. Or maybe the wind blew in the wrong direction. You can never really tell with Lucy.
Frustrated because Ari tried to take her hat.
Trying to hand her a clover.
That's it! Finally all caught up on photos (for now). Next up should be Easter pictures!
