I was trying to get a good pic of the girls one morning before school and they were in such silly moods! This was the best they could do. I'll take this over crying any day!

Strolling w/ my Sissy
We ususally go for a stroll up and down our street every afternoon when the girls wake up from their nap. They have recently started holding hands during our walks (first I had to coax them a bit but now they will do it on their own.) Isn't that just too sweet? Taylor walks faster than Sutton and somewhat drags her along but they seem to work it out.
Yummy corn on the cob
The girls love, love, love corn on the cob! I have been cutting the corn off of the cob for them until they started pointing and whining at mine and Clint's plates and I figured out what they wanted. It is yummy and entertaining all in one.

Jumpin' Jax playdate
Today we went to Jumpin' Jax with our playgroup and it was SO much fun! They have all kinds of gigantic blow up things from obstacle courses to slides to big bouncy things and the kids had a blast. However...it is very hard to keep up w/ two kids in a place like that. Taylor was all about going down the slide but Sutton was too scared at first. I must say these are some serious slides...much bigger than anything I have ever gone down. And you know I'm scared of heights so it created quite the predicament. Kelley took Taylor up and slid down with her first and she absolutely loved it and wanted to go again and again. Then Julie took Taylor up and slid down w/ her a couple of times. Finally Sutton decided she wanted to try it, so I put her on my hip and climbed all the way up this gigantic thing (scared myself) but trying to act like it was so fun. We got to the top and I put her in my lap and down we went. This is the fastest slide EVER! I screamed in Sutton's ear the entire way down (which was a whole 3 seconds at the most) but she absolutely loved it. Julie took Taylor to the top and Tay wanted to go down by herself! My little itty bitty was scared to slide down a 3 foot slide several weeks ago and now she's the big daredevil. She did great...did a little flip-over on the way down onto her belly but was grinning from ear to ear! Then Julie took Sutton to the top to see if she wanted to go down by herself and Sutton was hanging on tight to her so they slid together. I went down a couple more times w/ them both and then we called it a day. That is exhausting carrying kids up those stairs over and over. I am wiped out right now. We will definitely be going back there because it was a blast.
The last picture is of all of the kids Taylor, Sutton, Emerson (their friend from school), Logan (the only little boy, bless his heart!), and Samantha (who is our neighbor).
The first two pictures are of the 3 amigos. Sutton, Taylor and Emerson (or Emmie as Sutton calls her).

Attack of the Taylor Teeth
Okay, so we have a biting problem. Take note of the bruised bite mark on Sutton's lower cheek. (Ignore the crusty nose and cookie chin.) Taylor bites when she gets mad and we cannot get her to stop! We spank her, put her in timeout, talk to her very calmly about it but nothing works. I would love to hear some ideas about how to get her to stop...here's the place to put your two cents in! She even bites me and let me tell you...it HURTS.
Sick Day
The girls have had a virus since last Thursday but are slowly getting better. Sutton woke up last Thursday morning at 2:45 with a 104.7 temperature...scared me to death! Of course Taylor came down with it the following day. Taylor also has a really bad ear infection and Sutton had puss in her throat so you can imagine how yucky they have felt. Daddy blew up the air mattress and put it in the den so they could lay in bed and watch Yo Gabba Gabba, Blues Clues, and Elmo while they were puny.
