What a long weekend! We spent the 4th with my brother, Scott, and his family. Scott and Cindy never fail to provide a full feast. We brought these as our contribution.
They were REALLY GOOD! I highly recommend them. Very easy and oh so good. I normally can't eat bananas but for some reason if I dip them in chocolate my body doesn't mind them. That is good news.
We spent family time on Saturday and then Sunday the girls and I headed up to "the farm" at my mom and dad's. We had a great time playing with some cousins and the grandparents and generally just running around. I had a lot of time to use my mom's awesome sewing machine without kids climbing on me. Double bonus. I'll post some pictures of the projects later.
We also had a chance to see Heather, who was visiting her parents from CO at the time. Yeah! We love seeing Heather. BTW Heather, after you got out of the car Daphne said "bye bye Header." And then promptly fell asleep.
Heather even played Ring Around The Rosey with the girls, which is always a hit.
Daphne and Naomi are really afraid of dogs. At some point they stopped loving them and just "got fear." My niece Mattie has a little 6 lb. dog, Simon, who they have always been afraid of. My grandmother came over on Sunday with her little dog, Sunny, and put him in his little portable cage so the girls wouldn't be scared. For some unknown reason, Daphne took a liking to Sunny and asked to get into his cage! Naomi followed suit, a bit reluctantly. Here they are in the cage with their cousins petting Sunny.
Sunny took this opportunity to get out of the cage and the kids enjoyed staying in. He thought that was great.
We drove from Bellingham to Seattle this morning for my doctor appointment. Naomi was excited to go but a little disappointed again when she found out we weren't going to get the baby out of my "tummy" yet. I tried to explain she has to wait 3 more months but that is a very long time for a 3 year old. Ok, let's face it, that is a very long time for a 30 year old to wait. And no, we have no name picked out yet. All of your suggestions are wonderful, but we don't like them ;)
