pretty big weekend

It was a pretty fun filled, busy weekend for the mg twins! Daddy went to Las Vegas with his friends, so the girls and I headed to Nana and Papa's house. While we were there, we celebrated Uncle's birthday (a month late) and my cousin's birthday (a month early). The girls were on their best behavior and we all had a blast.

Unfortunately it rained most of Friday so it was hard to entertain the girls indoors when they would longingly look outside. Maybe we should move the swing so they can't see it from the window? Ha! They kept themselves busy by helping Nana do her hair, playing with Mommy's old Sesame Street toy, reading books and playing the piano.

The girls were very serious about helping Nana with the curlers.

This toy was so great! They played with it for HOURS. They didn't even realize that there wasn't an Elmo!

Obviously Little Bird was EXCITED about this Froggy book. Apparently there is a whole series about Froggy. We'll have to check it out.

There was a break in the rain, so while Papa was mowing the neighbor's lawn, the girls wanted to go outside and watch. They also kept busy "watering" the flowers. Soon they realized that it was actually really fun to play with the hose. Needless to say they got drenched! They didn't mind though; it was another super hot day.

I have actually never laughed so hard a Little Bird's shenanigans before; (Little Pie is known for her silliness, but Little Bird is a little more shy and reserved) but I couldn't help myself. Little Bird was using the hose to fill up her watering can. However, while she did this, the watering can was tipped in such a way that the water just went in one way and out the other. The look on her face was the most hysterical; it was like she was so impatient and couldn't believe how long it was taking to fill the watering can. Nana and I couldn't stop laughing.

OK, so the water comes out of this hose and we put it in our cans.

I don't know, that doesn't look like it's going to work too well.

For some reason, as I'm putting the water in this end, it comes out the other!

 

OK, this is getting ridiculous. I've been here for 5 minutes and it's not getting full.

Can you believe this mom!?!?

All I can do is wait...

On Saturday, Nana and I took the girls to a park to play, but only stayed 10 minutes. It was just too darn hot. They girls weren't too upset that we had to leave. 

Hurry up and take my picture, it's hot out here!

I'm going to hurry down this slide and then go in the shade.

This weekend, we had an unbelievable accomplishment...Little Pie ate a sandwich and Little Bird almost ate a sandwich!!! This is big. I've been trying to get them to eat a sandwich forever. Lunch has been a challenge because we have 2 or 3 picnics a week and you can't pack mac 'n cheese in a cooler. Maybe we just needed to try this new "sandwich concept" at Nana's. While eating this new thing called a sandwich, the girls started to play footsie with each other. I don't think they were really aware that they were doing it, but it was so ADORABLE!

To end our fun weekend at Nana's and Papa's, we had a picnic birthday party for Uncle and mommy's cousin. It was finally a BEAUTIFUL day. We even had to put sweatshirts on in the morning. The girls had a lot of fun seeing family members and before we left to go home, they went around and gave EVERYONE a hug and kiss goodbye. They sure like giving hugs and kisses!!

More Sesame Street fun!

Eating "frufarts" instead of taking a nap. (Yes, she calls fruit snacks, frufarts).

Snacking with Nana. Little Pie took a nap, but when she woke she was so surprised that there were so many people there! It took a while to get comfortable, so she had to sit with Nana for awhile.

Having fun with Lobo and K.

CHEESE with the birthday girl.

The girls are really good at the beanbag game. As you can see, Little Pie gets it in the hole every time!

We all had a lot of fun this weekend. The girls played really well, ate pretty well and slept really well. I can't complain!!
