Watch me mom

So the girls have been changing even though I have not been blogging much. Most of the time Landis is at my leg crying and now she is too tall to fit under my desk so blogging leads to a lot of head banging and more crying. The crying is something I avoid at all costs cuz’ it sends me in to orbit so no blogging.

The girls are cracking me up with the things they are doing. Of course I can’t remember a single one right now because I actually have time to blog and not a thought in my head.

Oh I just thought of a few things! One thing they have been doing is putting on a lot of shows, mostly jumping, tumbling but some ballet. They do something and say watch me, then I never look away but they still say watch me and I say I am watching, next trick, mom are you watching, yes I am, okay, next trick, mom are you watching, yes I am….and on and on it goes until I end the show or we would be at it all night.

They started wearing these rings that Nana Peggy got them last year and it makes them look so grown up. Today I caught them coloring each others toenails with crayons, it was a hoot. We have never painted toes or nails but I see it coming.

Earlier today I was cleaning the playroom and I heard this strange ripping noise. I went in to the dining room to find that Piper and Lela had taken a roll of masking tape and taped up the dining room table, the sofa, the castle slide and the rocking horse. It was a stitch, they said they were running a race. I got some of it on video so check out the Flickr site. The tape race became a big ball of tape that we stuck on and wore like hats. Crafty little hootigans.
