Protective Big Sister

I just love this picture of Victoria and Marlee.
 
 
It was taken last week at swimming lessons. 
It shows how protective Victoria is over Marlee. 
She is always looking out for her and making sure that she is ok. 
All through swimming lessons she is helping Marlee in and out of the pool, showing her what to do….
I just love that she takes her role as big sister very seriously J

Interview with Marlee

Marlee Viola


A few weeks ago, Marlee had a project at preschool where she had to answer 5 question about herself and make a poster out of it. The girls got a real kick out of answering the questions. So, I thought I would take the time do make up a bunch of questions to ask them.


Here is the Q&A session with Marlee (she was distracted by the book she was looking at and didn't answer as many as Victoria):

What is your name? Marlee Viola

How old are you? 2

What is your favorite color? Brown (she almost always says blue, I have no idea where this came from!)

What is your favorite animal? Puppy (she usuall says giraffe, there must have been a puppy in the book she was looking at)

What is your favorite movie? Thumbelina

What is your favorite cartoon? Mickey (duh!)

Whatis your favorite book? Stinky Face (I love you Stinky Face...she does indeed love this book and was reading it to herself while I was asking her these questions)

What is your favortie thing to do? Go to preschool

Who is your best friend? Momma

I would really like to get her to do this again when she isn't distracted.  She kept answering me "ummm.... I don't know" - she wasn't very pleased with me for interrupting her book reading time :)

steamboat days

Last weekend we brought the girls to our local city carnival - Carver's Steamboat Days.  We didn't stay too long, in a small town like ours there's not too much to do.  But they did enjoy some good ole face painting and hair coloring.  Victoria chose a beautiful butterfly and Marlee chose a dragon....don't ask me why.  The lady tried to make it a girly dragon...but it's still a dragon. I found it hilarious that the dragon was her face paint of choice.  When we got home they both crashed hard in our bed...

Monday was the first day of the season for swimming lessons.  The girls are in the same class together and it should prove to be a lot of fun. They were very excited for their first day :)
