Day 287: 2 Pairs of Shoes

Paige and Virginia love to put on my shoes and Ben's shoes and tonight Paige decided she wanted to wear my heels but was still wearing her sneakers.  She didn't let that stop her, though.  She just slipped her already shoed feet into my shoes and walked around in them.

Day 286: Ring Around the Choo Choo

Silly Paige put her Choo Choo, aka train, in the middle of the living room floor today and started running circles around it.  Thankfully she managed to do this without falling over.  I'm not sure where she learned to wear her hat like that, probably from her Grandpa Dude.  Oh, and don't even ask why she's only wearing one shoe.  She did that herself.  Watching Paige tonight made me remember a song my dad wrote years ago.  It's called, "Silly Girl."  I'll have to see if he has a recording of it that I can use to make a video...

Day 285: Somersaults

The girls love to do flips off of my lap, with my help, of course.  We were doing it tonight and they were loving it as usual.  They sit on my lap and lean backwards.  I hold their hips and help them flip over.  They're very good about taking turns, and even like watching each other do it.  I mean, look at how happy Paige is watching Virginia get flipped upside down.  And sorry about the haziness of the picture, apparently there were some fingerprints on the lens...

Day 284: Cox Farms

We went to Cox Farms for their fall festival this morning.  The girls got to go down some slides, see some animals and climb on some wooden trains.  They loved it!  They had a Kids Zone for children under 5, and the girls really loved that.  Virginia had fun climbing in the wooden train and sticking her head out the window. 

Day 283: Static

This morning after swim lessons we took the girls to the playground at the rec center so they could play for a little while. We were afraid the playground equipment might be too high for the girls, but they did great with it. They climbed right up and went down the big slides. I did have to hold Virginia's hand across the little suspension bridge type thing a few times, but eventually she figured out that she could do it alone. Paige's hair picked up a bit of static as she went down the slide, but she loved it.

Day 282: Mommy's Sweater

I was gone most of the day today at my Moms of Multiples Club's consignment sale. I guess Paige missed me because I got home to find this picture and a few like it on the camera. I took that sweater to the sale last night and left it on the couch. Paige loves to play dress up, so I shouldn't really be surprised that she decided to put on my sweater. It's just a little bit big for her.

Day 281: Going Bye Bye

This morning Paige and Virginia insisted they were going "bye bye" even though I wasn't taking them anywhere. Here's Paige getting all ready to go. She put on her new shoes (on the wrong feet) and then insisted I put her jacket on her and since she unzipped it after I zipped it for her, she's also trying to get that zipped back up. And, yes, she's wearing the same shirt she wore yesterday. She's kind of obsessed with it.
