Four Years Old!

Four? 
Yup- four...
Piper's birthday celebrations started with a sweet school ceremony.


The kids decorate, spell out her name and then she walks around the sun holding the earth and I get to describe her for each year of her life - including her birth. 






Then all the kids pile up on top of her Dad :) 
Well - for her celebration they did at least.



Back at home a tutu arrived from Aunt Amy


And we got ready for a party
Aka a play date with cupcakes!




Oh yes, and balloons. Lots of balloons!


Hair chalk



And for the first time Piper didn't wig out when we sand happy birthday to her



New costume dresses must've worn in the dirt pile







Miss Moxie is so close to full on walking it's crazy


In the mean time she'll just keep us laughing





Well.
Not all of us.
Piper is needing Moxie free zones. So we rigged her room and a space in the living room. She loves her sister, but she annoys her too.
Sounds about right.


Then it was time for to prep for Grandma Les to visit!



We've had the neighbors over a lot too- which is fun




Moxie has some high fever weird thing. At first I thought it was teeth. Then it came back and hit her hard. But after a 4 hour nap she was cool and happy so we took her for a walk.


Stunning weather for Leslie's visit. I think she's in heaven.




Piper sure is!


After the walk miss Moxie was just exhausted and unhappy. But we're hopeful she's on the mend and hope Piper escapes!

Catching Up

Oh my goodness...

Two jobs, two kids, prepping Josh's business taxes and this one... This one has been testing me like crazy!


Crazy cute though


And sweet.. When she's not temper tantruming. I mean really ?!?


But today we didn't have single "episode"
So I'm holding hope.


She wanted batman capes for her and her dogs.
And she's dog obsessed and SO into dress up.


Really I think the melting is a sib thing.
As much as she loves her sister, Moxie's ability to concur and destroy is amazing.




See ... There's love there...




Moxie "helping"


She's walking- holding on to one finger as she goes.


One molar in! That was nutter.






The only nasty face I've seen thus far- even teething Moxie continues to be mellow


And as gas as the snow came it was gone. It was 58 today and as usual Spring is in the air right before Piper's Birthday!


Piper put a puppet show on for Moxie this morning- it was her super sweet idea.

Tricks and Giggles

We've been in giggle mode over here.


With new tricks learned at school...





As Moxie becomes more moble Piper is learning how to move her precious toys to higher ground.


But she doesn't mind


A few weeks ago Josh pulled Piper from school for a surprise date!


A dog sled ride!!! Lucky girl!




Her dog wants were further fueled by 14 fuzzy friends.




This weekend both girls went to Mimi and Papa's and Piper enjoyed high tea while her sister napped.
