Tunnel Fun

Love those Garage sales.  The girls came later on Friday so Papa and I went to several garage sales and found a couple places that had great stuff.  The girls especially liked this tunnel that they used to attach to their two pop up tents plus it even had windows.  They would crawl back and forth to each one and even thought of creative ways to use it.  They even had Sophie going back and forth.

Rielee's Party

 The girls got to go up to Dianne's for Rielee's birthday party.  The first thing they got were party hats and then they did a craft, making butterflies.  They had to tie dye paper.  Bridget wasn't sure at first but she soon got going on figuring out to cover up all the white.  After crafts they played pin the feather on the parrot.  Bridget didn't want a blindfold to do it so she got it right on the tail.

 Rielee blew out the candles and then they had a cupcake and then they all wanted a piece of the main cake too.  Rielee liked the cards that the girls made her, especially the boat that Jillian drew.

 Rielee, Ava, and Harper then got to come play with the girls.  Here is Jillian showing her butterfly that she made.  They had a ball playing with Ty and Brock and their friend Kyle.  At first the twins were shy of Kyle but it didn't take long before they joined in.  After the twins left, Jillian, Bridget, and Rielee had fun teasing the boys by hiding their shoes.  At one point, Bridget tried to throw a pair of shoes in the fireplace. 

The girls decided to make a nest for Sophie from flower pedals and seat cushions.  Not sure if Sophie appreciated their work but she went along with it.

Showers

The girls got lots of outdoor time today.  In the morning they played outside with Brock and Ty while I had a meeting.  They did so many activities with them which made them both so happy.  Then after naps they got dressed up to go outside again but it just started to rain so they got the umbrella.  They were not going to let a shower slow them down. 

Princess in Boots

Bridget wanted to play outside, but first she had to look good doing it. This is her pretty princess look, complete with cowboots plus a little attitude to go with it. We were lucky to even get her to hold still for a moment for the picture.

Patient Sophie

Jillian was beside herself with joy since Rielee got to come play again today.  Right away they went for the dress up clothes but this time Sophie found herself in the middle of it.  I could hardly believe how patient Sophie was as they wrapped her all up and then Jillian wanted a picture of how pretty she was. Sophie got a lot of attention all day and she remained remarkably docile through it all.

Rielee was a big help as they built a fort and tunnel outside.  It was good at keeping them involved for quite awhile.  They especially liked the tunnel.  They had to keep an eye on the wrecker, Bridget, as she has more fun tearing things apart than building them.

School's Out!

Rielee got to come play for a long time since school is out.  They spent a lot of time downstairs getting ready to put on a show.  Mocha, Sophie, Papa, and I sat on the sofa to watch their wonderful show.  I think it was about Rapunzel as Rielee was stuck and couldn't get down and Jillian pulled her free with a long boa.  Bridget's whole job was to hold her microphone and yell, "Ladies and Gentlemen!", which she did very well with her voice that carries so well.

In the afternoon,after Rielee had left, they decided to put on another show as they are no longer shy.  It wasn't quite as organized without Rielee's assistance.

Biggest Sister and Little Brother

Jillian is always saying how much she loves her little brother Torion, and she likes to show it by holding him all the time. In this instance, she wanted a photo taken of both of them. Tor doesn't look so sure about this, but he really does like seeing his big sister, and will smile when he sees her.
