Monday Musings

We started our morning at the grocery store to stock our fridge & pantry before Grammy's visit. Shelby made sure to ask me on the way to HEB if I had the ingredients for banana bread & strawberry cake on the list to make with Grammy while she's here--can you tell we're excited for her visit?!

Today was one of those rare days where the stars aligned and the girls played so well together and were just so cooperative & fun all day long. When we came home from the store, they had the best time in the backyard together while I unloaded the groceries & prepped lunch. Then when I got them up from their naps, I was finishing up some cleaning & they wanted to do their favorite chore--"washing the house." Washing the house to them means using baby wipes to wipe down whatever surface they see, but I tried to focus their efforts on the baseboards and we got a LOT accomplished! :)  I had every intention of rushing the girls up to bath after dinner (b/c Hadley didn't nap again today, ugh), but they were just in the best moods so we lingered a bit.

The girls have discovered my blog books, and they are loving them! I always knew they'd really appreciate these books when they're older, but it's fun to see them already being appreciated!!

Reading in the fort that Shelby built :)

And here's a few pictures that I forgot to post yesterday in my Spring Break post...

The girls LOVE to play dress up in our closet!

After our gorgeous weather weekend, our forecast this week is NOT looking good--the rain is coming back, nooooo! When I finally broke down & bought the girls new rain boots/jackets a few weeks ago, I knew that would mean we would probably have the driest spring ever. As it turned out, I was way off--the girls have gotten more use out of those rain boots than I ever could have imagined!
