Between throwing sticks and pretending to fish the girls were occupied for a solid 35 - 40 minutes! This weather has been fantastic for our fresh air quota.
I don't get the girls to pose very often and not usually very well. However, they've been enjoyhing these giant silk flowers so they thought this was fun!
The sun had disappeared by the time we made it to the park yesterday, but the girls still had a good time. Peyton brought home a bunch of shells and rocks that "are just too beautiful to leave" at the beach!
Today we're sitting inside coloring and watching the rain and wind. The rain is actually coming down in sheets, sideways across the water! Yesterday we had the most beautiful weather. We made it to the park and for a bike ride!
Uncle D's and Divo came over yesterday and spent the afternoon and evening with us. Peyton was thrilled that Divo was able to come inside and Bella warmed to the idea after some tears and drama. Divo is possibly the best dog ever - I know I've said it before, but it really is true! We watched the Seahawks game and went tubbing! Peyton was in heaven!
The girls are back into dress up and love to dance in the living room. Well, Peyton dances and Bella does her thing!
The girls spend a large part of the weekend entertaining themselves. Chris and I had house projects to tackle... They did pretty well inside and out. The sticks in our yard are a constant source of entertainment.
We got a few sun breaks this week and enjoyed a little time outside. Peyton enjoyed riding "Flyer" her horse (stick) named Flyer because he can fly. Bella enjoyed digging in the dirt with her baby pig. And I had to prove that I can still Hula. Peyton actually got the picture!
It's the simple things that we tend to take for granted. Peyton and Bella had such a great time having family time on New Years Day.
