Quick, take a picture...

February 19: Day 50

It's not often that we all are dressed, combed and in the same place long enough to catch a quick picture, so I took advantage of being ready to leave for church a few minutes early.  You may be able to tell that this was probably the fourth picture that I made them pose for, so we are all a little strained, but at least we all have our eyes open. 

Sleeping Mini...

February 18: Day 49

When I put Sarah down for her nap this afternoon, she was NOT wearing this outfit.  At some point, she got cold, got up and put on her favorite Mini-Mouse outfit and pulled up the hood and fell fast asleep. 

Park punishment...

February 17: Day 48

We love our regular Friday park days, but we don't always finish our work before we leave.  So, this is how homeschoolers motivate their kids; no finished work, no play.  Isa unfortunately learned this lesson the hard way, but as soon as she finished, she had plenty of time to run and play. 

Trask Top Shot...

February 16: Day 47

I just love this picture.  The girls were at school and Sarah and I were "cleaning" all the upstairs rooms.  I happened to be working on Macky's room when I looked out her window and saw this.  You first need to know the girls and Mike have been religiously watching Top Shot on television.  So, here Mike has set up his own Top Shot range.  The girls were thrilled to come home and practice shooting the bee bee gun. 

A little couch time...

February 15: Day 46

Macky and Sarah are such good friends.  They cuddle and read and play together all the time.  I love happening upon them in one of these moods.  It is so precious, I hope that they always have this sweet love for each other.  Sisters. 

Happy Valentine's Day

February 14: Day 45

I'm sure I should have been able to come up with a more romantic photo for today, but we had such a nice day that I didn't realize I hadn't snapped a shot until late in the evening.  These are a few treats that we gave to the girls to celebrate the day.  I think it is so important when you have daughters to show them love at home so that they aren't in any rush to go out and find it elsewhere.  As it is, I'm fairly sure that each of the girls is planning her future wedding to her daddy.  I'm not sure where I fit in the plan, but I'm good with it so far.  :)

Sarah reads her first book!

February 13: Day 44

We are so proud of Sarah!  She has finally put together that the sounds of the letters make words and words make sentences and so on.  This night, all the girls cuddled around Daddy while Sarah showed off her new talent!  She read a whole Bob book on her own!
