The Park with Dee and Dude

On Friday we went to a playground with my parents.  Paige loved the rock climbing wall that they had leading up to the slides.  She was very proud of herself when she got to the top.

Tunnel Fun!

This is a video that Mimi took a couple of weeks ago while she was here with the girls.  They were having a great time playing with their tunnels.  And, yes, at the end Virginia is pointing out her booger.

Toddler Workout

We have a treadmill in our basement that I run on a few times a week.  Paige and Virginia know I run on it even though most of the time that I'm on it they're asleep.  Recently they've become really interested in the treadmill and want to "run" on it.  Here's an example of Virginia and Paige "running" at a blazing 1 mile per hour.

Walking in the Snow

When the girls and I got home from daycare on Thursday (Ben wasn't home yet) they decided they didn't want to go right inside, so they walked around on/in the snow in our front yard.  We've had lots of slight melting and refreezing, so there's a nice layer of ice on top of the snow, so in most places the girls didn't sink into it.  They loved it.  And I happened to have the camera in my purse so I was able to get some video.

Dancing with Babies

One day last week the girls and I were having a little dance party in the living room.  Paige wanted to be held so I picked her up and was dancing with her in my arms.  She must have thought that was fun because as soon as I put her down she went and picked up her dolls and was dancing with her babies.  So, of course, I grabbed the camera and got a short video of her.

Bouncy Girl

When Paige started dancing around I could not figure out what she was saying, but I took a video anyway because it was cute.  Then we were at Mimi and Pops' house on Friday and were playing in their basement.  Paige got out Mimi's yoga mat and was jumping on it saying "bouncy girl."  I watched this video again last night and finally figured out that that was what Paige was saying.  What "bouncy girl" has to do with "Ring Around the Rosie" I have no idea, but she seems to think they work well together.  So if you're trying to figure out what Paige is saying, it's "Bouncy girl, bouncy girl, all fall down."  Silly, bouncy girl.

Washing Mimi's Clothes

Friday the girls and I went to dinner at Mimi and Pop's house.  Ben was working late and Pops was out of town, and Mimi knew I needed a break (Ben worked a lot last week) so she invited us over for dinner.  She also had friends that came into town on Friday for the weekend, so there were 6 of us for dinner.  The girls had a great time playing with Mimi and Pops' washer and dryer.  I'm starting to think that our next washer and dryer might need to be front loading so that Paige and Virginia can help with laundry!
