So much silly, SUPER stuff at our house this week!
1)
Baby A came running up to me: “Mommy! ‘Gulp’ has four letters!” The girls are on the verge of sounding out
words, and I thought that was pretty awesome!
2)
One sweet little memory I don’t want to forget
is how excited the girls get to watch the chickens cooking on the rotisserie
when we go to Sam’s. They’ll stand there
and wave, “Hey, chickens!” Hahaha!
3)
At Sam’s, they have most of their prices
displayed in really big signs (at least in comparison to regular grocery
stores). Baby A read almost every sign
to me…correctly! “Mommy, that costs
fifteen dollars and eighty-seven cents!
Mommy, that costs five dollars and twenty-four cents!” She solicited quite a few laughs from people
shopping near us.
4)
On Wednesday, we’d planned to meet a friend at
the park. She had to reschedule, but the
girls and I went ahead with a hike, a little bit of play time, and then a
picnic lunch. It was so incredibly
pleasant, and it just made this mama’s heart smile! The girls were full of pep on the 1.25-mile
hike, even up the hills! They played
nicely for a few minutes on the playground, and didn’t protest or drag their
feet when it was time to leave the playground.
We found a nice picnic table for our lunch. I opened their containers, and they ate every
morsel, with no spills and no requests for help. WOW!
5)
On Friday morning the girls and I went to Panera
for a mid-morning snack. We’d been in
the habit of doing that last school year, before doing our weekly grocery
shopping, but we haven’t done it much over the last few months. It was so nice to be back in familiar
surroundings with my babies!
6)
We hadn’t been out for breakfast in a while,
either, so we hit our favorite country-cooking restaurant on Saturday. The girls ate French toast, scrambled eggs,
and bacon, and they didn’t leave a morsel on their plates!
7)
When we got home from breakfast, we decided on a
family walk in the neighborhood. The
girls asked to go in their jogging stroller. :) Daddy and I took turns pushing them, and it
was such a sweet throw-back to when they were smaller. In fact, it was almost exactly four years ago
we got that stroller…it’s served us well!
8)
On Saturday we needed to be at the new house to
accept delivery on some appliances. The
house was cleaned a couple of days ago, so for the first time we got to relax a
bit. I took one of the girls’
storybooks, and we made official use of the reading room. I loved seeing them lounging on the carpet,
taking it all in!

One morning I
told B that she was a funny girl. "Yes," she said, "the funniest
I've ever seen." She's humble, too.
10) And I overheard
the girls playing…B said to A, "Sissy, do you want to go on a hunt for
Christmas trees and dinosaur babies?" I love their imaginations (even if
they do have their time periods a bit confused).
So thankful for this SUPER stuff!

awesome window seat lots of natural light!
your girls are going to have such great memories of their childhood!
With fall coming I'm excited to go for a nice hike with my ladies. Imagine the pictures!!
Super jealous of the window seat. What a treat!! All of our windows have radiators beneath them, not ideal for bench seating come winter. :/
Humility is overrated ;) Go B!!!
Love their imagination, must make play time so much fun
PS: pls tell me you are getting closer to being in the new house
It is always so uplifting to read about your adventures with your girls :) Thank you for sharing your life with us xx
