Day 273: Rainy Day

Today we got (and are getting) a lot of rain. So this morning when I was getting Paige and Virginia ready for daycare I had to make sure they were dressed to walk through rain on their way to the car and from the car to the building. I put them in their rain boots (and wore mine, too), their hooded jackets and their baseball caps. Here they are standing outside the door at daycare dressed prepared for all the rain.

Day 272: Don't Leave, Mimi!

Ben's mom, aka Mimi, watches the girls for us on Wednesdays. The girls are never happy to see her go- they love their Mimi- but tonight Paige really didn't want her to leave. Mimi said goodbye to the girls and said she was leaving and Paige said, "No." Then Paige went and laid in front of the front door to keep Mimi from leaving. We did finally convince her to get up and watch Mimi out the window so Mimi could get out of the house. She's a smart little cookie, that Paige, to know that if she lays in front of the door Mimi couldn't leave. And so cute.

Day 271: Covering Bear

Today after we got home from daycare Virginia decided to play with two of her favorite toys- her bear and her blanket. The blanket is a new thing that she's gotten attached to recently. She was very nicely shaking her blanket out and laying it over bear. And, yes, that's a sticker on her back. A sticker letting us know that school pictures are tomorrow. Too bad Paige and Virginia don't go to school on Wednesdays.

Day 270: 27 Months Old!

Today Paige and Virginia turned 27 months old. It's hard to believe they're 2 and a quarter years old already.

Day 269: Watching Blue

This evening we went over to Mimi and Pops' house for dinner. Virginia and Paige had a lot of fun playing and eating and just hanging out with Mimi and Pops. They enjoyed standing on the bench on the deck and watching Blue, the dog that lives behind Mimi and Pops, play in his yard.

Day 268: The Zoo

Virginia and Paige went to the zoo today with their grandparents, Dee and Dude. We have very few pictures because the battery in the camera they took died right after they got there, so my mom took a few pictures on her phone and sent them to me. This is the only one of both of the girls. Apparently they were very quiet during their trip to the zoo, but I think they enjoyed it.

Day 267: Hanging Out at the Vet

Today Paige, Virginia and I took Jefferson to the vet to get his nails cut. The girls had a great time climbing all over the benches in the waiting room while Jefferson was getting his pedicure. They were happy to have a place to climb and be able to walk around after sitting in the car for about an hour since we took Mimi to the Metro before the vet appointment.
