Indoor Picnic

Last weekend  we had an indoor picnic. It had been awhile sine the girls had played with all of their food items. By just setting out the blanket, it was like a brand new activity for them. I tried to get Harriet to look at the camera, but had no luck. 

No More Tangles

Estelle loves for Keith to comb out her hair after her bath or shower. Unfortunately her hair tends to get very tangled and he has lots of work. We are definitely considering buying some No More Tangles to make the process easier. 

Beads

It's been fun exploring some different activities with Estelle as she is getting older. One afternoon during Harriet's nap, we strung small beads on a shoelace. She loved it. 

Plus she's letting me put bows in her hair on a more regular basis!

Play-dough

Estelle really loves playing with play-dough. I usually try to bring it our when Harriet is sleeping or otherwise occupied. This day we made play-dough cookies and bowls. 

Alzheimer's walk

We participate in the Alzheimer's walk last weekend. My company had a booth there and encouraged staff to come out and support the cause with their families. I thought it would be fun for us to take the girls. Here's my attempt of getting a picture of the girls in their stroller.

Our failed family photo

And Estelle's face painting. 

Estelle did great and walked most of the mile walk with Keith, while I pushed Harriet in the stroller. 

Robot Cards

The High Five Magazine we get from Highlights has fun activities on the back two pages. One month  it was robot cards. Estelle had so much fun making different Robots and named them all.  

Lighting

We recently replaced some of our overhead lights and are in love with the changes it has made.
