The sleeping bags were a Valentine's Day gift to the girls, just in time for our trip to Rangeley. They spent over an hour in their bags the day they got them, with Adam next to them in his sleeping bag (which he's had since he was ten). Apparently it's very fun to zip and…

The high on Saturday reached almost 50 degrees!! To celebrate, the girls wore sunglasses, and rain pants instead of snow pants. Huzzah! We took a leisurely walk at the park, interrupted by episodes of puddle-jumping and choruses of, "I love mud!" (For the record, I do NOT love mud, but I do love "warm" weather…

The other day, the girls got professional haircuts, which was especially exciting after months of me hacking at their hair myself. They felt beautiful and decided to accessorize with their fanciest jewels — clip-on earrings from their Auntie M. Grace was already wearing her pajamas, but no matter — jewels make all outfits feel fancy.

Adam used to make fun of the fact that when I was a kid, we sometimes had ice cream sundaes for dinner. (Sundae Sundays — how cool is that?!) A few days ago, it was suggested to us that we should have a special dinner to celebrate the girls' excellent behavior during our eleven days…
