...we went shopping again and Grace got some Wetzel's Pretzel Bites for being so good (but let's be honest...this kid is ALWAYS good when we go shopping because she loves to shop!):
...Grace made up a new game. She hides Olivia and says, "uh-oh" and then says, "Olivia" like she can't find her. Crazy kid:
...we went to dinner with Isaac's mom and cousins that were in town from Virginia. Grace tried ranch for the first time and made a new friend:
...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up.
...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk.
...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work.
Hooray for panties!
...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff.
...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".)
...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face.
...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast.
...we got to school a few minutes early, so we enjoyed the gorgeous sunrise.
At 35 weeks, Grace doesn't have much room to do somersaults anymore. She still kicks like crazy though, and now we can see my belly rolling all around as she moves. It's very weird and awesome at the same time!! Every once in a while we'll just be sitting there, and I'll go "whoa!" Isaac freaks out and asks me what the heck is going on. It just happens to be the baby giving me a swift kick to the ribs or rolling over on her side. This "whoa!" experience actually happened yesterday in the car. Grace was very active, so I pulled my shirt up to watch my stomach roll all around. All of the sudden the right side sunk in and there was this crazy looking hole in my belly. She quickly stuck her foot right back in there, and it went back to normal. These are the things I will miss about being pregnant when she finally gets here. The heartburn, achy feet, and waking up 85 times in the middle of the night to pee? Not so much. Also this week, Grace…
Isaac and I had been talking about taking the girls camping for a while. While he had never slept in a tent before, my parents used to take me all the time when I was younger. I remember my dad taking me to this very campground to camp, fish, and hike every summer as a kid (until I got too old and thought camping was too dirty). We booked a site and decided to take a week off to spend with our girls. Sunday morning, we woke up, loaded up the car, and headed for Pine Valley. The girls were so excited to go camping for the first time. Grace did crafts in the car, while Char got in her daily nap.
The drive wasn't too bad, and the girls were amazed when they saw cows grazing around our camp site. Of course, they wanted to pet them and scared them all away.
They went "exploring" (as Grace calls it) while Daddy set up our awesome new tent. He had to hurry, because there were some rain clouds moving in.
These little city girls were cracking us up when they just wanted to kick t…
