Grocery List

Elsie added a few items to my grocery list:

Sisterly Love

Here are the sweet and wacky Erickson sisters enjoying some cuddle time.

If you take a Elsie to see Tangled...

When she gets home she will immediately head downstairs to the playroom and create a paper Rapunzel. She even used a ruler to measure out the hair to make sure the lengths were equal. Soren and I were both pretty impressed with this masterpiece and Elsie was SOOO proud.

Remember Us?

Yup, it's been awhile since the blog has seen an update. So here's what you've been missing:



Elsie's hair is now pink and someone took all her winter clothes.


Margot still enjoys wearing random dress up clothes over her regular clothes. See, no change there so I guess it's no biggie that I haven't blogged since Dec. 9, 2012.


Two silly girls enjoying a Sunday afternoon. These two ladies are FUN! They are both loving being at school. Last week Elsie's preschool class had beach day (meaning they could wear summer clothes on a below 0 MN day) She was so excited that she had a hard time sleeping the night before school. Margot tells me she has 2 BFFs at school and both Margot and Elsie know what Gangnam style means. I have no idea how this happened...you know something is played out when preschoolers think it is cool.

We are loving this preschool age and all the awe, wonder, dancing, and drama that comes with it. OK, I could deal with a little less drama, but with two dress-up divas a little drama is to be expected.

Snowy Sunday

Loved having a snowy Sunday! No commute to worry about and lots of time to play in the snow. Having a 3 and 5 year old really helps to bring out the magic in the white fluffy stuff. We spent hours (can't believe I'm writing that) outside today! The best part is the girls can walk up our small hill AND drag their own sled behind them. We can just push, listen to them squeal all the way down the hill and watch them stumble back up.

Happy Halloween!

Here's some photos of the Erickson girls all dressed up. The girls were witches these year. On Halloween morning the looked and acted the part. BUT here's a much more charming picture of them:





My ADORABLE nephew, Elijah, as the cutest owl ever. (yes, I heart him sooo much!)





Our attempt to get a group cousin photo. Gabe is a surgeon and Stella a ladybug. My parents hosted a fab cousin halloween party.

One pizza, two sisters

I took the girls out for pizza a few weeks ago and couldn't help but compare the difference in their eating styles.


This picture does not do justice to how messy Margot was. I was sitting next to her in the booth and was cringing the entire time and begging her to not touch me.


Not a drop of pizza sauce on Ms. E. She even politely asked our server for more napkins, which you need when you wipe your hand after EVERY bite.
