Cousin Abbey decided she had out grown her play kitchen and gave it to the girls. The girls were in Heaven to say the least. They still love it and spend lots of time putting things in the stove, microwave, etc. and pretending to cook. And for the most part they play pretty well together. A lot of toys they fight over or isn’t really a 2 person toy but this has been great.
They've learned to swing on the 'big girl' swings and are so proud of themselves. I LOVE when I get a picture of them both smiling at the same time. Doesn't happen very often.
We bought a water table. One reason was seeing how much fun they had at my parents playing with theirs. The other was purely selfish. It’s self entertaining. They love their swing set but I got sick of standing in the sun pushing them on swings. This way I can put up our shade screen and sit on a chair while they play. Win win I say! They’ve really enjoyed it and we’ve now learned to either just take their clothes off or put them in their swim suits.
The grocery store I usually go to doesn’t have these fun little carts, so when we went to a different store the other night and I put them in this, you would’ve thought they were at Disneyland. They ‘steered’ the car, honked the horn and had a permanent smile on their face the entire time. Maybe I need to change where I shop!
Our 4th of July was lots of fun. We went to a neighborhood breakfast and then after naps went to my parents for a BBQ. We opted out of Fireworks this year because we’ve been having to re-train the girls to fall asleep on their own and stay asleep. So we’re sticking to a strict schedule for the next little while. Instead we put them to bed and painted an accent wall in our family room. Pictures and details coming when it’s finished and put back together.
