Last week Daddy's sister and her girls came for a few days. We had a ball with them amidst the busy things that seemed to be going on that week also. We are so glad we got to spend some time with them. Peanut absolutely adores all of her cousins. She had a blast! There was lots of smiling, laughing, giggling, crying (hey...they're all girls!), chatting, and being silly! They all had fun meeting Pumpkin for the first time too.
The following picture totally cracks me up of our youngest niece. She is a hoot...check out that tongue! I guess Pumpkin was a bit heavier than she thought she would be. Ha!
Peanut loves her youngest cousin so much! They were wrestling and hugging by the end of their time together.
They spent some time swimming at our community pool and had a great time. Daddy chaperoned this one so I could stay home with Pumpkin and the furnace guy. Heehee! The furnace guy was installing our new furnace so someone had to be home.
All of the cousins helped Papa wash the dogs! They were VERY stinky!
We love our family so much!
Everyone was a bit tuckered out by the end of the visit. We always stay up late visiting and catching up.
Peanut had her first corn on the cob while they were here and now LOVES it!
She is also doing very well with potty training. Here she is showing off her success chart and her reward for getting 3 stickers...a piece of "tandy"!
And Pumpkin keeps working on finding her thumb. She has found it a few times. We'll see...
Two quick funny Peanut stories...
Last night we were in the car driving and Pumpkin was having a melt-down. She was crying uncontrollably. Peanut kept saying, "Shhhh," to Pumpkin. Finally Peanut said, "Mom, she's not obeying!" Ha!
And today after her nap, I put her right on the potty with no training seat cover. She was holding on but almost fell in the potty. She looked at me and said, "You flush me down?" Then I was telling Gigi who invited us to go with him to a local county fair and Peanut who was of course listening to me talk about her said, "Then I go in the pipes!" She cracks me up!
Here is a cute video of the little girls playing together!
