Daycare

The girls at daycare!

State Fair

We took the babies to the fair last week. They had so much fun. They especially loved the petting zoo and all of the junk food! See Euan feeding them the blue snow cone below. We stayed a little past bedtime and they got a little wild, as you can see in the video. Enjoy.

First Day of Preschool!

Yesterday was the babies first day of preschool/daycare. I found a great in home daycare called Seedlings. She is a credentialed teacher and follows a preschool schedule. She and her two children are also vegetarian!!! It is so nice not to have to worry about what she is feeding them! The first morning they had veggie sausage and eggs! She also has all wooden toys and there are quite a few other kids for them to play with. She told me today that they are super sweet to each other and never fight. She said if they get a toy they take one to the other one too. Great to hear since they have been fighting over toys a lot at home lately. Also, Isla fell and hit her head today and she said that Fiona was really concerned about it and stayed right next to her. Fiona has cried both days when I left but only for a few minutes. Tomorrow I have to get them there at 7:15! We shall see how that goes. Here are some pictures. Of course, the girls wouldn't stand still, so are on the run for most of the pics.

New backpacks from Grammy.

Look at the big girls sitting at the table with no highchairs! Of course, Fiona got up about 12 times to see if I was still there while I filled out the paperwork, but hopefully she will get better.

I know I haven't posted any pictures from their week at Grammy's. That will be tomorrow's project...

Santa Cruz

Abby and I took the girls to Santa Cruz for the weekend. We met my mom, Kristi, Alex and Isaac there and stayed in a house in Capitola. Stacy, Madeline and Mike met us there. We were there for the Wharf to Wharf but found out at the last minute that strollers weren't allowed, so Stacy and I didn't do it. Everyone else did though and we still had a blast. I'm ready to move to Santa Cruz! The girls loved the beach.

Fairytale Town

While Abby was visiting us last week, and Euan actually had a day off, we took the girls to Fairytale Town. It was so cute, and the girls loved it; especially the animals. Here are some pictures.

Staying Cool in Sac

Since we are having a heat wave, we are trying to keep cool around here. We found a new water park near our house and we plan on visiting daily. Euan and the girls had a blast running around in the water today. Here are some pictures and video for you to check out.

Farewell Christina and Thank You!

We were able to get a night away. We stayed at the Hyatt and went out to a great dinner, watched a movie, and got a full nights sleep!!! It was so nice. Thank you to Christina, our fabulous babysitter. She's been watching the girls while I worked since December. She said the girls were great...why are they always good for babysitters? She is off to San Francisco to college next month. We are all going to miss her.

Road Trip to Humboldt

The girls and I took a little road trip to Redding to meet my mom, Isaac and Abby for a night and then on to Humboldt for a few days. We had fun and the trip there was easy. They slept almost the entire way both legs and Abby rode with me the second half anyway. The girls were pretty hard though. They were teething, not sleeping well, and very clingy. In fact, Fiona slept with me every night, which she's never done before. And both of them ended up in bed with me in the hotel in Redding. The drive home was really bad, but I won't go into details. Here are some pictures and a couple of videos.

Grammy bought the girls little purses with all kinds of things that every girl needs. Lipstick, cell phone, compact, keys, etc. Needless to say, they were a big hit...

Who knew the Redding Mall had a toddler play area? Fiona doesn't look like she's having fun, but really she just wasn't happy about stopping play to pose for this picture.A little fun in the pool...

In the bath... the same one I took baths in when I was a baby. Fieldbrook School got a great new toddler park.

Fiona and Isla are into spinning and demonstrated for everyone at Rita's Margaritas.
