Playhouse or outhouse?




A high school friend of mine passed her girls' playhouse onto us. We are so grateful for her generosity. The girls absolutely love playing in it. They even ask to put their pottys in the playhouse and have been successful using it.

Puppet Show

The tortoise and the hare as told by puppets.


Last month we went a puppet show sponsored by a local mother's group.  They girls really enjoyed watching the whole puppet show set up; not sure it they fully understood the Aesop fables being told.  Actually, I think they enjoyed the cookie decorating table more than the puppet show, but did sit still for quite a while eating their lunch and watching the puppets.

A couple weeks ago, we took a 3 day trip to Monterey.  Last time we went, the girls were 17 months; they sat in their strollers with snack traps and water bottles and were very happy campers.  This time, our 2 1/2 year olds were active, active, active.  They absolutely loved the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Dennis the Menace Park.  Noah also took in alot of the scenery, but he mostly slept when we were out and about.
