Little Gymnists

The girls seem as though they are going to be little athletes!  They love to run, jump, gallop, swing, hang, do forward rolls, walk backwards...and they are pretty coordinated too!

The Munzes Come to Visit

Chad and his family came to visit us in Georgia!  The Redland Company is doing a job in Atlanta and Chad needed to come up to visit the jobsite, so he brought the whole family along!  Unfortunately, the girls were sick most of the time they were here, so we didn't get over to Melissa's much to visit.  I was able to take Friday off, and since the girls were better (not well, but better) by then, we all headed up to the orchards to spend the day together.

The kids had so much fun eating apple donuts, sliding on the big slide (Anna was a mad woman on that thing!), visiting the petting zoo and riding the hay wagon (which, incidentally, had no hay)!

One of the highlights of the day was the pig race!  No pictures of the pigs, but here are some spectators!

We were so grateful to spend time with our family!  The girls love playing with their cousins!!

Fun at School!

The girls LOVE school!  They especially love having Aunt Ma as their teacher and I love that I get special mommy priveledges because she is their teacher (shhhh...don't tell any of the other mommies!).  They have so much fun every time they go, and Aunt Ma says they squeal with excitement over everything they do!  Here are some fun things they have been doing:

The firemen come to visit!!

I was pretty shocked that the girls didn't cry when the fireman picked them up!

We love Aunt Ma!!

Kate the other day after school - wore her out!

Picture day was this week and Melissa said they did great! I can't wait to see how they turned out!  Stay tuned....

Random Cuteness

Here are some pictures that don't necessarily warrant a blog post of their own, but that are too cute to not post!

Every night after their bath, the girls insist on "wearing" their towels around the house.

The girls were sick and on a breathing treatment - Anna was so cute using the nebulizer :)

The girls are obsessed with their cousin book - whoever gets it first usually won't let it go for at least a half hour!

Sleepover!

On Friday night, Melissa and Bethany took Jake and Andrew to the local fair and Allie got to spend the night at our house!  It was so much fun having a cousin sleepover.  I feel bad for Allie though, because the girls follow her around like little puppies and have no concept of her personal space!

Breakfast - Allie's request was oatmeal :)

The girls insisted on wearing big girl panties just like Allie!

Pig Tails

The girls are finally getting enough hair to pull it back into pig tails!  I cannot get over how adorable they look!

Time Out

Since returning from our summer in Florida, we have been implementing Time Out in an effort to discipline the girls.  It has been quite effective!  They know what it is and that they have to stay on the "Time Out Spot" until they 1) stop crying AND 2) mommy or daddy comes to get them.
