Our Kids

It’s the end of the day and all is well.  These girls are the best… we had such a great day together.  After their nap we had a snack of apples and grapes, then off we went to Target for some light bulbs.  No problems there, so once we got back home we packed up the jogger and went back to the park, which I now affectionately call “Potty Park.”

The girls had fun exploring the playground and surrounding park… Piper got a kick out of grabbing a bottlecap off the ground (Bud Light… classy) and running away from me when I said “Piper please put that down.”  Giggle giggle, run run run!  Of course Lela got in the game and pretty soon I had two little girls running in different directions.  Good thing I’m still faster than them!

Since I’m visiting my parents tomorrow (yes, I’m cheating), I gave the girls a bath so they wouldn’t stick like daddy.  Since Mystique’s parents are staying with us we took off the plastic duck that protects the girls from the bathtub faucet.  I soon found out the other reason we have that duck… it also protects daddy and the girls from someone (Piper) flipping on the shower while the bathtub was filling.  That was quite a surprise to the girls, who were both in the bathtub.  Luckily it was Piper who was directly under the showerhead and she really doesn’t mind it much, but she did have a surprised look on her face.  So did I since I happened to be in the line of fire, as well.  I was glad to have avoided that potential Lela tragedy, but later on she yelled at me a bit because I dared to wash her hair.  Oh well… at least they’re clean.

We finished up the evening with a little Signing Times on the TV (pretty much the only show the girls watch and they love it).  While the girls danced, sang, and signed, I cleaned up the mess I made in the kitchen.  Finally, around 6:45pm after brushing our teeth and putting on pajamas, the girls looked pretty tired so off we went to bed.  Haven’t heard a peep since!

So that’s it… day one down, two to go.  I think I got a “mama?” every couple of hours… they increased in frequency as bedtime neared.  I explained that mommy was at work and they seemed ok with that.
