Catching up

Summer is here as you can tell by the swimsuits. The girls are still growing like weeds. Sasha no longer fits into this Minnie Mouse swimsuit. It barely fit in this picture. I've had a busy few weeks so I haven't posted as often. They also have Dora swimsuits which are both 4t so they fit both girls. I took all the 2t pants out of the drawer last weekend.

Kelsey, Uncle Dan and Aunt Shawnna visited the girls over Memorial Day weekend. The girls had fun playing with their cousin Kelsey. They gave the bounce house a workout. They think it is more fun to climb over the top than through the tunnels.

I got the girls a slip and slide for the backyard. They didn't really get the idea of running and sliding, but they did have a good time playing in the water.

Kelsey tried really hard to get them to slide, but they tended to crawl down the path and play in the water spray at the end.

The bubbles didn't show up in the picture, but we have a bubble machine and went through a lot of bubble this weekend.

Dan drove his RV here. The girls really liked their RV. They called it a bus and thought it was really neat that the bus had a house inside it! The girls also liked Goose, the BIG doggie. He ignored Frosty the whole weekend so she wasn't sure what to make of him.

Sasha still loves her original Sponge Bob PJs. They seem to get smaller every time, but she doesn't care. We got out the blocks to see if they were ready for them. Both girls made several structures with them. Sasha really liked the flowers. Sasha is doing amazingly well on her colors. She knows about 10 colors and gets them right most of the time. Leeza still wants tosay everything is purple, but will say pink, blue green and yellow and get it right about half the time.

We went to the zoo last Saturday. we spent most of the time in the playground outside the zoo. We went to the petting zoo and were the only ones there. One of the goats had just had 3 babies that morning. The caretaker let us pet them. Leeza took advantage of the open area and took off running around. She would not stop until I finally cornered her.

We got some cute sunglasses at the zoo shop. They were colored like tigers. Sasha broke hers before we left the zoo. Leeza wore hers all evening. The next morning Sasha got a hold of Leeza's glasses and broke them also. I got them some old sunglasses of mine. These are Sasha's second pair because - guess what- she broke the first ones! She is rough on stuff sometimes.

Leeza really like the sunglasses. I need to get her some kid ones again. I am trying to find some nicer ones that may stand up to Sasha.

The girls like to wear skirts, but I won't let them wear them to daycare since they tend to fall and scrape up their knees. We have been wearing skirts during the weekend as much as possible. We are also experienced at going to restaurants. We go out about once a week now. Next Friday is the zoo picnic so that should be a fun outing. The zoo is open 5-7 Fridaynight for members only. There will be food and free train and carousel rides.

Leeza and Sasha are now in different daycare classes. Leeza moved up to the older 2's and younger 3's class. They are doing ok with the transition. It is hard for them to be apart, but they need their own space.
