Pajama Day, Valentines, and Babysitting Fun

Tuesday was pajama day at preschool. Brenna and Brody got to watch movies, eat popcorn and be in their jammies. They were very excited to wear their pajamas and slippers to school. They also got to bring a stuffed animal. As Brody said, "a special one but not a really really special one." They refused to take their pajamas off the entire day at Carrie's house.

Thursday was their first Valentine's Day party. They got their Valentines ready Wednesday night. Both attempted to sign their names. Brody had the B, O, and Y recognizable on many of his Valentines. Brenna just made a couple of scribbles and called it good. :) They got special Valentines from Carrie and Carrie's neighbors, Bob and Carol. Carrie always makes every holiday special for Brenna and Brody.

Auntie Sheri, Cousin Sara, and Great Aunt Zona sent us nice Valentine's Day cards.

their new shirts from Papa and Nana. They also got the movie, Mary Poppins as a Valentine's Day gift. Nana and Papa babysat on

Saturday so Steve and I could enjoy a Valentine's Day outing. We went to a movie and out for dinner.

On Sunday, we babysat for our friend Jaxon and his sister Avery while their mom and dad went on a date. Brenna and Brody had fun playing with Jaxon but also spent a lot of time watching Avery. They are both really good with her. She loved looking at them and smiled when they made clicking noises. Brody told Steve that, "I wish we had a baby of our own" and Brenna keeps wondering when she will be a baby again. Steve and I assured Brody that it is much more fun to borrow someone else's baby then have one of our own. :)

Last comment..I registered Brenna and Brody for 4-year kindergarten last week. We have round-up in March. It is hard to believe that they will be FOUR in about three months, much less starting Pre-K next year!
