we survived!

our trip out to good ol' Utah {or "yootal" as Cora likes to spell it} consisted of a whole lot of 

this...

 this...

 and this...

and thats all i really have to say about that...

some people are ballerinas...

 oh goodness...

this was a crazy weekend... 

but look at the sweetness! 

such sugars these two!

prima ballerinas for sure!

geeks...

 its all about the geek glasses...

my thumb feels broken from popping out all of the lenses from dollar store glasses..

totally worth the pain just to capture these shots

up the wall...

these monsters have been driving me up the wall lately... i guess it comes with age, 6 and 9 are very sassy years...

but when they are asleep... i love them so dearly because they do things like this...

they dont even realize it... it just happens...

and then i take a deep breath and remember that its just that one week out of the month that i want to ring their little necks and they really are pretty darn sweet most of the time... 

i am NOT looking forward to the day when the three of us are pmsing at the same time... not at all!

~selina

a whole lot of random...

 this is the fort that aunt Sophie built...

 ...ok, so the girls "embelished" it a bit..

it stayed up for a week...

this is what a "valentine robot" looks like

{that sharpie eva was using in the background ended up on my couch cushions and floor}

i "heart attacked" the girls lunches, so in response Eva put this on her pillow for me to find...

 can you guess what was inside?

would you believe it was exactly what the box said it would be?

then you would be right... {give or take a few}

an entire box of valentines just for me!

its important not to waste paper...

 well, "somebody" was supposed to be sleeping...

 we had two birthdays this month!

 Somebody turned 6 and somebody turned 9... and somehow we had something like 5 parties...

Oh, and Justin Bieber sent Cora a candy gram 

{that is Justine Bieber on the right... Cora prefers him with his shirt off... its a true story, says he looks manly that way...}

this is what crazy looks like...

so this is what Cora looks like after learning that she had bronchitis and a bit of pneumonia and having her very first breathing treatment..

i had no idea that albuteral makes kids go insane cause she was a total nut case!

she talked to every stranger and told them crazy things or gave them compliments on their "beads" at least 17 times! the pharmacy at Walmart was super sweet when i asked them if "crazy"  was a side effect.

it is... in case you were wondering!

we had about a week of "crazy" and then it was over...

shes back to being her just plain "nutty self"

are you getting excited yet?
