Ah, the Florida life...

Here are a few pictures of our life in Florida. The girls have a daily tea party, color with crayons and share a sisterly kiss, and have picnics on the living room floor. The remaining picture is a shot of my new haircut...bold and short, but I'm                                                                                       learning to like it!

Pictures in the pool!

We Made It!

Florida is FABULOUS! We made it safe and sound on our Airplane and the girls did a great job! Sarah barely even watched her movie, while Molly stayed  busy playing peek a boo with Cayden in the seat ahead of us. We spent our first day in Florida by the pool! We took the girls for bike rides and stroller rides during rest periods. Sarah just LOVES the water, and Molly moo has discovered that she loves to splash! Molly had a blast jumping from one end of the hot tub (not heated) to the other. She just kept popping up from under water with a huge smile on her face! As usual, Meme has taken nearly 300 pictures of the girls on their adventures. Seeing as it is late and I'm working on the computer in the dark while Sarah sleeps behind me, I cannot load them now. I will return within the next few days to upload the pics of our glorious vacation! I just hope everyone reading this is as happy and content as we are right now!

Well, it's been almost 2 weeks since my last post! Not too much excitement except for the fact that we Walton girls have SPRING FEVER!
We are DYING to get to FLORIDA! Daddy has been having daily discussions with Ms. Roser about how the plane ride will be. We've practiced on dining room chairs how it will feel to lift off in the plane, and how it will feel to land. Sarah is so excited and just loves our test runs on the chairs! We've even practiced walking through "security!" Sarah is excited to say hi to the nice police man who will usher her through the doorway! We've talked about how loud the plane will be and that there may be lots of people around! Sarah is probably most excited to be up in the clouds! I find myself wondering just what she is thinking this experience will be like - and then - how she is going to react to the ACTUAL EVENT. I'm sure she'll be a pro! She better be...I hear the flight to Costa Rica is around 14 HOURS! (For those of you unsure of that reference, Meme and Papa are building a resort in Costa Rica to retire to in a few years. I'm sure we'll be visiting!)

Molly, on the other hand... Ah, Molly. Meme has gotten very nervous, it seems, about how she will react. I caught her giving Molly GUM the other day! Even after I said "MOLLY DOES NOT DO GUM!" Not that I really care... I just know that little trickster and I know that gum and Molly just don't mix. Gum and Molly's hair, maybe, but gum and Molly, no. Meme has also been reminding me to pack a HUGE SIPPY CUP so that Molly can be drinking something as we take off.
I am concerned about another aspect regarding the Mooster. Sarah completely understands that our trip will take only ONE MOVIE, but Molly will not sit for a movie. She has the attention span of, well, of a two year old. I've been on the hunt to find activities to capture her attention for the whole two hour trip. I've packed stickers, crayons, markers, play dough (is that even allowed?), a jingle pen, a lovey, and a few other things to try to occupy her during the flight. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know! Otherwise, I may spend the entire trip trying to curtail the wails of a monstrous Molly!
On another note, we went yesterday for haircuts. Sarah got a three inch trim...doesn't seem like much to her, but to me, it was a ton! She can still wear a ballerina bun, so she is happy. Molly had her first cut following Sarah's. Molly sat so still, eating jelly beans and smiling as Bridget with the bunny ears cut her hair. Molly's hair, if you hadn't seen it, was wildly out of control. While Sarah was born with beautiful, straight, free flowing locks, Molly received seven cowlick's and very fine hair. For some reason, it was growing faster in the back and flipping out uncontrollably. She looked like she had a mullet. I just had to do something about it! We did a very blunt bob cut and she looks adorable! Don thinks she looks like little Debbie, where as I think she just looks so much older! Her bangs are a bit too short, but I just can't get over how adorable and grown up she looks!
Please keep us in your thoughts as we venture to Florida on that crazy airplane. I'm sure Daddy will enjoy his break, free of tea parties, girly giggles, and true loves kisses. Or, maybe, just maybe, he'll realize that he being a prince to three girls isn't so bad...
