A little of this, A little of that

This week I decided to scope out Target and see if they had any cool baby water toys. I wasn't necessarily looking for a pool, but maybe some kind of splash toy. The cool splash toy cost over $30. Mr. Crab here cost $12. Easy call.

Here is a still of the girls checking it out. It started out WAY too cold because of the hose water, so then I ran back and forth from the kitchen with pitchers of hot water to warm it up. If you want the full story of how Lily "enjoyed" it, check out the video below. Seriously, why do I try?

On another note, Lily had her first PB&J, which she loved. Before anyone yells at me for introducing peanut butter to her too early, remember that we had allergy testing done and she was all normal.

After a lot of nagging, Matt finally put up a cabinet lock on one of the cabinets that Lily loves to get in. It's one of the "interesting" ones that doesn't already have a cabinet lock. Interesting meaning that she gets in there and pulls out all the napkins. She supervised Daddy.

(It also just occurred to me that I haven't edited or cropped any of these pictures. Oops.)

In the closet

Guess who raided my closet? I'll give you two guesses.

Little Runner

My Abby is a little runner. Today she ran in the Indianapolis 500 Festival Rookie Run. Go Abby! We were so proud of her. She ran with a friend whose Mom is in my Mom's group with me. The girls were toward the back of their heat. The four year olds ran a "U" shape on part of a city block downtown. The girls didn't know to turn back so they stopped at the bottom of the "U". Luckily, someone got them going again, so they pulled up the rear of the heat. Great job!

Shocker

While on vacation, Abby shared a room with our friend/helper Jaimie. Abby became the soundtrack of Jaimie's vacation, I think. Within hours of us arriving at our villa/condo, Jaimie informed me that Abby was singing in the bathroom. Just little songs to herself. I'm so used to it that I don't even pay attention anymore, but she sings A LOT.

Yesterday we were talking about vacation and her sharing a room and she shared that she liked sharing a room with Jaimie because then she had someone to talk to in her room. But she did say that she always talked first (probably because Jaimie couldn't get a word in edgewise).

She then followed that with, "I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, to talk."

Shocker.

(Can you tell she's mine?)

Beautiful Topiaries

I can't imagine not being impressed with the beautiful topiaries and gardens that Epcot offers. It feels very different from the other parks because of it. We even were lucky enough to be there during their Flower and Garden Festival, so there were a few extra things to see. They had a whole area dedicated to TinkerBell and Pixie Hollow. Aren't they amazing? I wonder if they could come do my garden?
