You've Got Mail

So, remember the cute mailboxes the girls got for Valentines Day... well I decorated them with some vinyl and they came out really cute!  Now, the girls leave little messages for each other.  Zoey loves to make cards for her sisters while they are at school.  They all get so excited when they see that they have mail!

The note Zoey left for Alexis today.

Book Character Dress Up

The girls were allowed to dress up as a character from a book today at school.  Fortunately, the girls already had costumes from when the dressed up last fall in Louisiana.  Alexis is Hermione from Harry Potter, and Megan is Pinkalicious, the little girl in the series of books called, Pinkalicious, Purplicious and Goldilicious!  Kailey didn't dress up because she was home sick today.  :(

Happy Valentines Day!

When the girls woke up, they found a trail of Hershey kisses leading to their Valentines gifts.  :)

Nice hair Megan.

Zoey wanted one right away.

Kailey passed by before I could even get her picture.

The girls each had the shirt I made them along with a BIG hershey kiss and a mailbox with a Valentine note from Daddy and some Valentine socks.

Daddy made heart shaped pancakes for breakfast.

 I saw this idea for some really cute Valentines on a craft blog.  The girls and I had fun making them!

We made some for Zoey, even though she isn't in school yet.  Since we don't really know anyone here yet, we walked down to the Apartment management office and gave them to the 2 ladies that work there.

 

Alexis is excited to learn cursive here, so I made sure to stitch Love on her shirt in cursive.

Of course we had to do Hearts in their hair!

We found an apartment.

So, when we got here to VA we tried to get a house on base.  Unfortunately, they don't allow dogs over 100 pounds in base housing (Harley is 120 pounds).  We are pretty mad, considering we have had him for 8 years and at 4 other bases!  Anyway, we have been looking for a place to rent, and we want to be in the York County School district, since it has better schools.  However, most places to rent also have restrictions for big dogs.  Well, we finally found a nice place!  It is in a great location and is only about 5-10 min from the base, the girls school, our church and shopping!  We moved in yesterday, but all of our things won't arrive until Tuesday.  For now we are "camping"  in our new place.  :)  Since I don't have my sewing machine yet, I had to hand sew the girls Valentines shirts.  I love making them clothes, and I really wanted them to have fun shirts for Valentines, especially since they don't wear uniforms to school here.

At least he has his laptop and phone!  :)

Lounging around in a mostly empty room.

Back to school

The girls started school today, and so far we LOVE it.  Everyone there is so friendly, and the teachers they have seem wonderful!  I'm really excited for them to be at such a good school!

Snow!!!

The girls were so excited to move somewhere that it snows, even if it isn't that often.  So, they were so excited to get to play in the snow!
