Loving Pheobe

The first picture shows the love between Pheobe and Mena.  Mena does great with Pheobe!

The middle picture shows Pheobe watching me eat Wheat Thins.  She puts herself into a down and waits for me to share my food :)

Saturday, February 23rd, we had a blizzard so I was home all day Saturday and Sunday.  Pheobe stayed awake all day with me and then crashed while I was reading in bed.

Choir

The girls sang very well in church.  The first service Maggie was standing by the one boy that sings very loudly off key.  She complained about him during fellowship time so I told her to try standing somewhere else so maybe he'd not stand by her.  During the second service she stood in the back row because she knows he likes to be close to the microphone!

Maggie's Science Experiment

Maggie wanted to know what would happen if she put a can of my Diet Dr. Pepper in the freezer.  Sure wish she'd asked me first!  She said she read a book at about experiments gone bad at school & tried to blame her teacher.  I said it was her responsibility and she should not repeat experiments that went bad the first time!

Mena's Cheer Camp

Mena had Cheer Camp at Northeast High School from 8 to 10:30 am.  For this mom, it seemed like "cruel & unusual punishment" to have my daughter to NE High by 7:45 am on a Saturday!  That evening she performed at half time of the boys basketball game.  Gene and I sat with Maggie between us.  Maggie didn't seem so scared to be there as she was last year.  She asked Gene lots of questions about basketball and cheered for the teams.

Spirograph

Both girls enjoyed learning how to use the Spirograph that my sisters and I used to play with.  Mena wanted to know how you "win."  I told it was art and not a game; she looked at me confused.  I guess I'm storing it in the wrong area?!

Legos

The girls have so many Legos that I swapped the desk they were using for the table I had in my sewing area.  That's an 8 foot table full of Legos!!!  Notice that both girls are smiling for the picture but Maggie is giving a thumbs down because she thought we didn't need to take a picture.

Pheobe

Pheobe is beginning to learn to just lay down when I sit on the floor.  She still prefers to pounce on everybody.
