August Happenings

When you are three months behind your blogging you sometimes have to just sum things up in a quick post so that people stop bugging about your lack of posts.  So here we are, three months behind again and wondering why and how I allow this to keep happening.
The girls are getting much better about playing together and without adult interaction.  August in Florida isn't exactly the time to play outside, but there were a few mornings when the girls were able to jump out of bed and go play for a little while.  Most of the time we are stuck indoors so we make the most of our new found space in the house.

 One of Adelaide's favorite theme weeks at camp this summer was space.  She brought home a moon buggy and told us all about going up in the air.  She also came home with some interesting songs to teach us.  Everyone is loving A and P's new school, she comes home with the craziest stories somehow.

 Adelaide went to the Little Gym every week and now I believe it is time for P to start going too.  She is starting to use the appliances as objects to hang off of.

 P's temper is also showing these days.  If she doesn't getting what she wants when she wants it there is a full on theatrical event including screaming, crying and throwing herself on the floor.  You can find pictures of Adelaide doing the same things on this blog from a few years ago.

 Accidents and injuries oh my!  Adelaide falls down all of the time which isn't anything new.  To make matters worse she is a picker and a scratcher so she is always covered in bandages.  P also has her share of injuries, but those mostly occur at school.  P's best friend is Benjamin, the problem is they have a love hate relationship which means they are either egging each other on or biting one another.  Thankfully Benjamin's parents are as understanding as we are with all of this.

 Important lessons in life...learning to say hi and hello while on the phone.

 Eat, eat, eat - this kid takes her Italian side to heart when it comes to noodles.

 Pranks and hijinks - when we found the crayon on the wall we immediately knew who wasn't to blame.  Didn't take long to find the real guilty party.

 Baking, eating, coloring, playing and everything else leads to the occasional nap with Daddy.
