hard at work on her valentines

making rice krispie treats for malloy's school dance

team work! 

cleaning up the spills! 

malloy brought out one of her cabbage patch kids and threw it on the floor near the basement door. she told me i could get rid of it because she didn't want it anymore. rex came running out distraught! "NOOOOO! don't get rid of her, i need her, she's my baby!" he named her "hair-hair" and loves her. it's hilarious!

grandma val and grandpa don came up to visit for valentine's day! they kids were thrilled with all of their valentine loot!

malloy's school had a family valentine's dance. there were games, face painting, balloons, food, and, of course, a dance with a dj and everything! grandma and grandpa came with us to hang out. malloy was so cute with her little friends, running around and dancing.

malloy did grandma val's nails with her new chalkboard nail kit! beautiful!

malloy is constantly asking what she can do next. i came up with animal doctor! rex was the animal rescuer and would bring injured animals to malloy so she could fix them up! she loved it! i gave her some gauze, bandaids, and fingernail clippers in addition to her doctors kit - she was so excited to be using real supplies. i also made her a little chart with pictures of all the animals so at the end, she could go through them all again and check to see if they were all healed up. it was a great way to keep her busy for an hour or two!
