A walk in the woods (Or, three troublemakers!)

We went for a walk with our friends Melissa and Catriona- in an area near our houses that has four bridges over a creek. Here they are throwing stuff into the creek…classic childhood pastime.   I don’t think the girls enjoyed the walk as much as I thought (wished) they would.  Daphne would have had a blast if she knew about how tree roots can make you trip.  Over and over.  But, it is always good to get out.
Ethan raked today and neither girl really appreciated the leaf piles, either.

Daphne didn’t really enjoy a short wheelbarrow ride, but she looks so big here,  it is worthy of sharing.  I checked yesterday, and she grew 2 (TWO!) inches since her birthday.  That girl is growing like a weed!

They painted one night last week, and Daphne just loves to paint (and color on) her hands.

Often she would paint her finger, and then press it to the paper.  Her fine motor has come a long way recently, go figure.

Here is the outfit Amelia played in this morning: nightgown, pajama pants, last winter’s boots, Hello Kitty apron, elbow pad, nebulizer tubing.  She had an eye mask (thanks Grannie & Grampy) on for most of the time, too.

Cracks me up!   At least she was up and playing today.  She spent almost the entire day on the couch yesterday because she wasn’t feeling well.  She’s mostly better.  She laughed a lot at her “worlds longest fluff”, and at me showing her how we used to push her knees to her tummy when she was a baby to get those fluffs out of her.  Sorry, I couldn’t resist that one.
