Well, it finally arrived. A few weeks ago I ordered the girls the Disney Princess Swing Set from Sears. they love to swing in our arms. The stores here do not stock them so we had to wait for it to be shipped here. It arrived on Tuesday and we picked it up and set it up on Wednesday. (I could write a whole post on the set up and instructions alone). What was “supposed” to take approx 1 hour according to the instructions took well over 4 hours and there were two frustrated parents at the end. But it was all for a good cause. The girls love it, I am sure it will give them many years of summer fun in the sun. Next year’s backyard purchase… a play house.

Oh, Aunty Leah, its time for a visit again, Kassie won’t keep her glasses on again.

Sorry about being such a delinquent blogger but we have been enjoying the great summer weather. It has been fairly hot and dry here (except for the rain the last three days). We got the girls a paddling pool and it is a hit. Lena loves the water, always has. Kassie wasn’t too sure about it last year, and for about 2 seconds I thought the paddling pool might not go over so well but she loves it. She has perfected the art of spalshing with her hands and feet. Lena splashes with her hands but like everything else, Kassie dominates the action, making us all wet and barely letting Lena get a splash in.

It feels good to finally be able to do some “normal” kid things with the girls. I can’t wait for our Disney Princess Swing Set to come in.

I am so proud of my big little girls! I bought them foam fuzzy arm chairs with the Disney princesses on them and THEY CAN SIT IN THEM! They love them. They look so grown up and they are so proud of themselves. Go girls!

Oh and they actually watched some TV in them. Not that I am a big TV pusher but it would not be a bad thing if something or someone else could be their entertainment for a few minutes.

I got a great deal of some Fisher Price Little People play sets. I was going to save them for the girls’ birthday but I decided not to. They needed some more advanced toys with doors to open and people and animals to pretend with etc. I saw some velcro fruit and veggies the other day, I think I will have to go back and get them. Some more Little People might be good too… since the girls seem to like them.

It’s funny but sort of sad. I feel like I of all people have been holding them back. We have been so caught up in appointments and therapy and “oh they will always be behind” crap that I have not been letting them just be little girls. It’s time we did some serious playing, pretending and coloring. You know, being kids.

The Saskatoon Children’s Festival is on this week, I think we might have to make a special trip to the city to play. Nana, when are you free to go to Kinsmen Park?

NO, I am not pregnant and definitely not with quadruplets.

I had to show off the rag dolls that my Aunt Linda made the girls for their Birthday/Christmas. They are old enough to enjoy them a little now. They are so cute. Both girls have a teddy bear and pajamas to match the ones their dolls have. We will treasure them forever.
