Daddy-Daughter Dance

Happy Valentine's Day! Last night Seth took the girls to a dance at the church...and locked the keys in the car(he-he).

When the girls got home they both told me they ate lots of junk food. They were very pleased with themselves...until Kylie came out at 9:30 p.m. to say her stomach hurt.

This is Eowyn in the picture with Kylie. She is practically family as she lives across the parking lot from us and both the girls adore her.

The Sweetest Place on Earth!

On Saturday we decided to drive to Hershey, PA so we could go to Chocolate World. For any of you that don't know what 3 kids crammed in the back of an Altima looks like, this picture is for you.

They had solemnly promised not to fight on the 100 mile drive there and did a great job. Please notice we aren't wearing coats-it was a beautiful 50 degree day:)
Please note how absurdly photogenic my husband is-it's not fair. This is the Chocolate World Tour that takes you through the chocolate refining process.

I can't begin to tell you the power these singing cows yield. We talk about them, sing the songs they sing...they are the most influential cows on earth.


At the end of the tour they give you two free samples. We took the tour 5 times, you do the math. The chocolate store is in the background with its cornucopia of fattening products.

The girls had those syrup bottles on their heads too, but by time Nate caught on they had moved on.

We caught the Chocolate World band and parade-a first for us. Kylie tried to hug them.
I took this picture no more than 5 minutes after we got in the car. The kids actually napped.

I'm handsome

Nathan has noticed Seth's Sunday dress and wants to be just like him. Today he noticed that Seth uses hair gel so Nate got a copious amount for his own hair. When he was primped he looked at me and said, "I'm handsome."
