watched a lot of "Mess-a-me Street" (sesame street). It's Butterfly's new favorite and she will pick it over anything else. The best episode experience so far is the one where we have to audition to be the new "big bad wolf". We have to act like granny, blow the house down and (Butterfly's favorite) catch the piggies. It mostly involved running around the playroom with outstretched arms and giggling.
discovered water aerobics is a lot harder/more tiring than it looks.
enjoyed having Ladybug sleep in her own bed for the whole night! (for the first time since graduating to a toddler bed). Unfortunately it only lasted one night.
took the girls bowling. Butterfly tripled my score by the fourth frame. Even Ladybug beat me.
discovered my girls are incredibly lucky when it comes to useless arcade games. Go to Fat Cats and try the frogger game. Butterfly scored 65 tickets her first try. And both girls laughed like crazy at the turn-the-wheel-to-make-the-bear-catch-the-falling-apple game. No idea why.
had an awesome bbq for hubband's birthday. We invited some friends over and had a great time. Lots of little kids so the girls were in heaven.
spent a lot of time looking at pictures on my computer. Specifically jan-july of 2010. Did I mention my girls are incredibly cute?! Butterfly loves to look at pictures with me. Ladybug likes to sit on my lap and let me use half the screen for viewing pictures and have her use half the screen for watching baby einstein videos on youtube.
had a really scary moment when a heavy ceramic pot got tipped over and smashed the tops of Ladybug's feet. Originally I was pretty sure they were broken. Luckily just bruised and sore.
spent a lot of time reading books with the girls. And having them read to me. Butterfly likes to sit and turn the pages and describe the pictures. Ladybug is starting to "read" to me as well. She sits, turns the pages and jabbers animatedly in a language only she understands.
loved listening to Ladybug sing. She appears to be totally tone deaf for the time being but so adorable as she mimics songs she knows or makes up her own music.
debated cleaning the house. changed my mind.
got to have Butterfly feel the baby kick for the first time. She giggled and was excited. Ladybug has still shown no acknowledgment of the new baby.
thoroughly enjoyed the new warm weather. The girls are ecstatic to be outside. We spent one afternoon outside, blowing bubbles and squealing as we chased them and popped them. We also have really enjoyed playing ball (our own combination of dodgeball, volleyball and soccer with a small beachball). Ladybug also likes to shuffle through our meager flower gardens and poke the tulips.
all in all, it was a good week. :)
