Sometimes the few days after Hubby has been on vacation,
home with us, can be challenging…getting back into the routine…playing zone
defense instead of man-to-man. I’m
thankful we made the transition pretty well this week, and that I have lots of
fabulousness to report!
1)
The girls have been really into their train set
every day this week. I love seeing them
constructing it in different ways. (And
Mommy likes to play just as much as they do!)
2)
Baby A “made a computer” (out of two puzzle
boxes). I loved hearing the email she
was dictating to our cat…”Dear Sasha, I hope you’re upstairs and I hope
you’re staying well.”
3)
We had fun playing with plastic Easter eggs in
the bathtub this week. The girls
experimented with making them float and sink, and watched the water drain out
of the little holes in the ends. They
have talked about it every day since.
4)
Baby A has been into dressing up this week, and her
outfit du jour just makes me laugh…a tutu, a too-big sunhat, and a “backpack”
made from putting her arms through the straps of a purse.
5)
Baby B has been the Queen of Reminders
lately. She overheard her daddy
reminding me to treat a stain on his shirt one morning. “Don’t forget to treat the stain, Mommy!” And another day, “Don’t forget to tell Daddy
the lawn people haven’t come!” I
actually welcomed the help on both occasions!
6)
We practiced using scissors for the first time
in quite a while. Both girls did really
well! They’re not cutting out shapes, by
any means, but they can cut strips pretty proficiently.
7)
I had to laugh at B as she ran up to me one
morning, holding a puzzle piece. “Quick
question for ya, Mommy,” she rolled off her tongue. I swear she sounded like a little business
person!
8)
Baby A has long been a little kangaroo, jumping
and hopping…and Baby B has finally joined the ranks. She doesn’t get it right every time, but she
can do some of the cutest little hops.
And I recorded Baby A forward jumping a good 18”…wow!
9)
On Thursday afternoon we had an impromptu park
date with Daddy. It was a gorgeous day
and the girls had a blast. Since our
last park visit, they both scaled a jungle gym-type ladder, and they both spent
some time in the big-kid swings. We
topped the afternoon off with a very rare Thursday night dinner out.
10)
The girls have been extra curious about the
goings on in the kitchen as of late.
This morning I let them sit on the barstools on the other side of the
island, and we played “cooking show” while I made breakfast. It wasn’t my most efficient effort at cream
of wheat, but they enjoyed it!
Hope you had a fabulous week, too!

My girls do the purse as a backpack thing too! Addison packed her overnight bag so full of toys yesterday afternoon, she could hardly lift it. These girls... : )
Hope you have a great weekend!
OH MY WORD, my favourite is the typing of the email. TOOO adorable!
Do you talk while you email? :)
PS Kendra seems to be following in my (very bad) footsteps - she is all of 2 and has about 3 handbags (besides the backpacks) LOL:
How creative that she made a computer out of her boxes!
Great idea to play with the Easter Eggs in the tub!
Doing Easter Eggs in the tub tomorrow... thanks, friend! May even fill them with different smelling soaps and little treats like those sponge-growing animals. :)
