On Wednesday, Emily comes home early from school. This allows for a short nap for her and a joint craft or activity with Emily and Julia. This particular day they agreed to paint. They have Disney on the brain, not sure why that is, and picked out a Mickey and Minnie window art to paint. They had a blast! Just fun to remember.

We were invited to the wedding of someone we have known for years and Mama had babysat. The wedding and reception were a lot of fun and the girls enjoyed it a lot. It is hard to be with a bride in that big white dress and not captivate little girls. Our girls filled their bellies with more candy than food and then played with coloring, legos, crafts, photo-booth fun, Mad-libs (I hear Emily’s was awesome and she wrote it herself), and DANCING. There were some high school girls hanging out with the kids and they took them to the dance floor and set them loose. The girls have been making up their own line dances for weeks since the wedding. Their Daddy danced with them too before it got too rambunctious on the dance floor.

Daddy was playing baseball with his girls after work and school one day. The girls had their turn at hitting, but decided it was Daddy’s turn. Before the photo was taken the ball had to be fetched off the roof twice. Not too bad for hitting a tiny ball thrown by little girls.

Emily was fascinated by the swirl Mama put on the "y" in writing Emily’s name one day. She sat and immediately started practicing her own "y" swirls. 

We went to listen to Ms. Caryn read for Storytime. The girls enjoyed exploring the kids book section and listening to Ms. Caryn’s book too. After storytime we enjoyed lunch at Market Square. We got on the road for home before the rain moved in. We hope to make it at least once a month for this fun time.

Weekends have been different since school started. It is the time the girls are together and some Mama/Emily time that we were used to. There is nothing better than spending the morning together not necessarily doing much, but just hanging out.

Mama and Julia getting some snuggling in!

Side-by-side sister coloring – never to be under appreciated.
