being silly

*the girls still play dress up everyday and dance. i wonder when they'll out grow it. hopefully not for a long time. its so fun to watch!
*barbies are their latest favorite toy now that i moved the house into their room and they have more room to play. they can play together for along time and play so nicely together!!
*i set up a craft table and set up a craft supply area next to it in the playroom. they love it. they can color and do crafts for at least an hour a day. today they convinced me to buy a white , with a black and white picture shirt at kohl's . it came with markers. they colored it for me today and are SOOOO excited for me to wear it! i can't wait to show it off, i know they will be so proud of themselves!
* we've been swimming in the evenings still. kiki can swim really far now. underwater, lift up her head and take a breath and go back under and swim further. halle is great too.
*kiki started a ballet and tumbling class. she loves it. she has been waiting to do this since halle did it last year!
*halle LOVES gymnastics. she talks aabout it everyday and practices everyday. she is soooo strong. she can do real pushups and loves to work out, doing squats and crunchies and other exercies everyday. she even started hoping out of the stroller to run with me now and then.
*me, "halle are you excited that aunt lynn is moving here?"
halle, "yes, but i would like it the most if both your sisters were moving here" (she's sooo sweet!)
grandma garrett got kiera the tent in the background for her birhtday. they love it. they even napped in it one day!

*we are still having a fun summer even though all our friends went back to school. luckily i family with 5 kids age 5-11 moved into the neighborhood, they homeschool too, we have had a couple fun days with them. but mostly we have fun with each other.
* yestarday we went to the mall to hold a puppy. i let the girls try on clothes. they were in heaven, trying on these sequence adult dresses, but they were supposed to be really short , so they were floor length on the girls. then we held our puppy and rode the esculator.
then we went swimming and babysat their friends that night.
*today we went to kohl's, then walmart, then i said i would read to them while they laid in bed and listened. we all feel asleep, i am loving the couch i put in their bedroom. tonight we went swimming again.
*before they go to bed, we snuggle for a couple books, then they get in bed and i ask them what scripture story they want to hear. read it and then read a couple chapters from sweet valley kids. we read daniel's and the lions den a lot. kiera loves it for some reason. tonight halle said, tell me about adam and eve. halle thought adam and eve's being naked in the garden was funny, but admitted she would like to be naked all day too (she usually is just in underware).
