Yesterday's high was 76 degrees! A welcome change to the over 110 degree days we've been having. Needless to say, our little desert girls are not quite used to these 60 degree mornings. I let Madison know she needed to wear pants today, which nearly caused a fit until she realized her 'Georgia dress' was an option.
Madison loves the tunic top her friend Kailey Kate let her borrow last year- although it is time to hand it down to Kennedy, Madison just can't get enough!
Hand me down Georgia clothes are always welcome in our house! Just last week, a box came from Aunt Kimberly including a very special shirt from McLean. Not only Georgia but ELMO, too! G is for Georgia- her face says it all! Since Elmo arrived, Kennedy wants to wear it every second. It's already been washed twice in a week!
After donning their Bulldog apparel, perhaps in preparation for the first game of the season this coming Saturday ;), Kennedy asked to go 'ou-side? ride bike?'
When we got to the garage, the girls were distracted by bubble blowers they found in the storage compartments of their trikes.
Ready for the irony?
Those boxes they are 'climbing' on....
They are unaware, but Gramm and Pop decided to get a swing set for the girls' birthday! Mommy and Daddy decided to get a little bigger set than originally planned so Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Matt contributed, too!
Daddy and a friend just picked up the site to store shipment at Walmart on Thursday so their brand new wooden play set is in those boxes!
Yep, it's a good thing they can't read. They are already enjoying climbing on their set. tee hee
The wind kept picking up, sending the bubbles high into the garage.
Madison was amazed by the floating bubbles.
The bubbles quickly lost Kennedy's interest and she was moved on to her car...
while Madison grabbed her Tricycle and pedaled outside.
The wind was fierce
blowing sand and dirt everywhere!
That didn't stop Madison from circling the rental car, up the driveway incline, and into the garage. She was so proud of herself for 'climbing the hill'.
Quick wardrobe addition and the wind was no longer an issue for this cool gal.
Such a face!
Kennedy liked the idea of being outside and playing on the 'hill', too.
She decided to travel by foot, rather than wheel.
Back and forth, back and forth, bubbles in hand, glasses on face.
As usual, the back of her hair is a mess. Do you like her new baby bob?
Running up and down the hill was hard work, sweeping stink bugs with Mommy sounded more fun.
Such a great helper.
Madison kept going back to her bubbles (see her cool Georgia Bulldog headband from Aunt Kimberly!)
These photos just make me laugh.
The girls couldn't figure out why Mommy and Daddy were laughing every time they climbed, rolled, and laid on their swing set boxes.
The morning was great. Mommy and the girls played, had snack, made huge messes, cleaned them all up, had lunch, and got down for naps (even Mommy got a little nap in!) all while Daddy worked to get ready for his annual 'Religious Holiday'.
Shortly after naps, Daddy came home and stayed with the girls so Mommy could run some kid-free errands. From the second Mommy walked out the door, the sweet children of the morning turned into monsters! Hitting, yelling, disobeying...they were not the same children. Kennedy through a huge fit during a timeout-30 minutes of non-stop screaming for Mommy. She was red faced, drenched in sweat, covered in snot, and struggling to get back to normal breathing. It took 10 minutes to calm down with Daddy holding and bouncing her, then another 10 minutes of laying on his chest on the couch before she was ready to play again.
Her fits continued all night, long after Mommy got home.
She was screaming so much at bedtime, Madison cried and said her ears were hurting. She actually asked Kennedy in tears, 'Kendedy, please stop hurting my ears!'. It was pitiful, so I moved her to Mommy and Daddy's bed until Kennedy calmed down and fell asleep.
When I entered the dark master bedroom I couldn't find Madison in bed.
After pulling back the covers, I realized she was laying across the head of the bed, on top of all the pillows. Apparently the cushy bed wasn't soft enough on it's own.
Shortly after moving Madison, Mommy and Daddy both looked like this too!
It was a long day, and we all needed a good night sleep.
