The weather is warmer and the girls love our backyard paradise. I'm so grateful the both enjoy imagination play, hand-me-down swing sets and space to roam.
Hailey has been enjoying her gymnastic class, tricks at home and trying to give me gray hairs....
These girls love their trampoline!
Some of their made up games...surprise tag from the great down under...
Always time for a picture while sitting and playing on the trampoline.
They got the biggest kick out of the static electricity
Back to the swing set...looks to be nap time
But, there's always that second wind....
I was blessed to met a lady named Penny Lucas in my homehealth travels who not only talked and encouraged me to get my girls involved in Awana, but also taught the cubbies and sparks class. Isn't it amazing how God puts people in your path like that?! We belonged to another church, but started taking the girls to her church for awanas, where she soon inherited the name Miss Penny. I also stayed and became a helper.
Hailey had been excited about her first loose tooth and had shown everyone including family members who talked up the tooth fairy like she was rich. I remember Papa throwing out numbers the tooth fairy would bring, like $50 and Pepaw chiming in to agree. Others brought the price down but all I could think about was...what ever happened to a quarter? or even a dollar? Time have changed for sure. My husband and I agreed on a certain amount for the first tooth loss, but it still seemed a little steep to me.
Anyway, during sparks one evening, Hailey lost her tooth and was the most excited little girl...showing everyone to could find.
The tooth fairy came through with a letter, a certificate and a glitterfied $10 bill
In other good news, Lindsey's hair was finally long enough to have a ponytail for the first time. So many firsts....
She just wanted her picture taken too...
Well, I don't know of any parent who doesn't have bathtub pics...and what fun they had with glow in the dark wands and Lindsey's famous giggle, as well as her side eye trick for many pictures to come...that was just her thing.
Homemade forts will never get old, neither will strawberries and some of their favorite shows
One of her favorite pastimes
Ready for another night of sparks...and I let her dress herself. You win some, you lose some.
The girls were excited to help Pop and Mimi with their new garden
...and Hailey made friends with a frog
Had to finish the evening with a night jump on the trampoline
