but Presley will definitely play tug of war with a toy if she doesn't want Brooke to have it. She is learning. They are starting to hug and give each other kisses. I want to try to get a picture of the sweetness. Because we all know it may not last. I really hope they will always play well and love each others company.
We went to "On The Border" for lunch and can you say huge table. The girls were pretty good for having to stay in their high chair for two hours. The best part was Ice Cream at the end. As you can see Brooke and Presley loved it and it ended up all over them and the floor. Hey, better there than my kitchen. Of course, Josh, Clay and Jack were not complaining at all about the ice cream. Sorry Jamie and Maci I didn't get your picture eating ice cream. We met for lunch at 1:00 so I had to feed the girls before we left because they wouldn't have been able to wait that long. But they still ate everything in sight and still ate their dinner later on at home. They must be having a growth spurt.
This will be a short post because it is late. We had such a fun day today I couldn't resist posting some of my favorite pictures of the fun times. We went to lunch and ended up at the Scotish Rite Hospital Park. It is the best park, there is only one way in and out and it has a separate park for toddlers (yeah!). The girls had a blast. We skipped the afternoon nap just to go meet everyone and it was well worth the fun. The group photo of all the children is the best we could get. Some day we will get better photos, I guess when they are bigger and will listen(wishful thinking on my part). The girls were a little fussy when we got home but we fed them and bathed them and they went to bed at eight. I have been cropping and resizing my photos ever since they went to bed. Yes, I took a ton of pictures. I will show you more of them during the week. It was great to see everyone and hope the Kirchners have a safe trip home to Chicago. Goodnight!!
Brooke loves to give us the cold shoulder. I wonder what goes through her mind. She is something else. Brooke has also become very independent. She tries to put on her shoes and she will take clothes out of the dirty close and put them on. I got this picture the other day of her putting on her pants over her pajamas. She wants to do things all by herself. Presley is just content playing or sitting in Daddy's lap. She has become a daddy's girl. She is starting to give Brooke a run for her money. I see her pushing on Brooke when Brooke is trying to grab a toy from her. They both get so frustrated that they will bang their heads on the floor or whatever is inf ront of them. Poor things are trying to communicate. I will be glad when they can use their words.
and for our protection. I will be so relieved because it is really hard to keep them corralled while we are outside and Mama will feel much better about being outside. Presley has already got stuck under the neighbors gate. No worries she wasn't hurt but it scared me as well as her. It scares me that they can run out into the street. We have a long driveway but it only takes a minute for a child to run from you. Since I have two it is harder to chase both of them at the same time. I usually have to choose which one is in more danger. It is only going to get harder to keep them corralled as they get older because they will get faster. They don't understand right now so it makes it harder. Not sure when it will go in but I hope it is soon.
I went into the bedroom briefly and Gary called my name to come look at the girls and low and behold look what I saw. Can you believe these little angels (Huh!) Brooke was the instigator, Presley would not have climbed on the gate without seeing Brooke do it first. Brooke is my climber and Presley follows. I have to watch every move Brooke makes. She is even climbing on the chairs and climbing on the tables. We have removed the chairs in the kitchen because they are so light she can move them herself. The chairs in the dining room are too heavy but we make sure they are pushed in so she can't climb. Hmmm! My little monkey. We call them little monkies but never thought that it would fit them to a tee. Look how cute they look as sthey are being bad little girls. Heehee! Well quick post the girls and I are going to go on a walk.
Here are a few pictures from Easter. I love the one of Presley. Those eyes just melt your heart.
