Symbiosis

As long as I am willing to do the cooking and the girls are in charge of "clean up", everything will be just fine.

Good Clean Fun

I wish watering the lawn was this entertaining to me.

Zoo Crew

We took the kids to the zoo last weekend and I took them a different zoo this past Thursday. Some people have commented on how much my kids are like wild animals. Genevieve is somewhat civilized, but Sophie does have a habit of roaring at people. Anyway, the girls had a great time at both places. The girls ran from exhibit to exhibit, roaring at the animals along the way.

These eggs are cracked.


I'm not sure what convinced them that the baby birds should be ridden like horses, but here we are.


Riding the carousel outside the zoo on Thursday was a big thrill for them. The only thing that would have made it better is if it went faster and came with ice cream.

The anger is strong in this one...

I'm not sure what Sophie is planning but it can't be good for the other two.

Dancing Queen

Genevieve had her first ballet lesson today. She loved it. The class consists of Genevieve, her three best friends, and a very energetic teacher. They couldn't wait to show the Moms all of the dance moves they learned when class was over. Sophie was disappointed that she couldn't join them. She kept saying, "Dance sister, too!" (Translation: I want to dance with my sister, too!!!) Maybe next year for Sophie, although I was hoping that she would want to do something less girly, like karate.

Food for the Soul

...and apparently for the face.

It's Like Magic

I took Sophie and Genevieve to an indoor play center (same place as G's birthday) to play and see a magician this week. For 3 hours they ran around like wild animals, did sand art (Sophie didn't want to leave and would periodically pick up handfuls of orange sand and scream, "Orange!" as she tried to take it with her), got their faces painted, watched a magic show, and ate pizza. Yeah, I think they had a good time.








Sophie almost took out the face painting station several times.


This is a lot more difficult than it looks. We tried explaining to Sophie that you can't watch someone paint your face but she kept turning her head to see anyway. The ladybug lasted almost 5 minutes before Sophie rubbed it off.


Genevieve's butterfly lasted until we got into the car when she decided to rub her face. She realized what she did and cried. Ah, the perils of face painting.
