We had a lovely ward playgroup activity this morning. It was so nice to be outside with the beautiful weather! The high today was a cool 79 degrees! It's nice to finally be cooling down around here... and have an excuse to start wearing long sleeves and pants. :) The kids painted pumpkins and enjoyed playing in Lora's fun backyard. I love chatting with the other mommies. Ben and I were discussing the other night about how I'm always wanting to chat his ear off when he gets home from work, while he would much rather relax on the couch watching a show. We realized that this is mostly due to the fact that I spend the majority of my day having only Emma to talk to... that doesn't make for the most intelligent or stimulating conversations... so when Ben gets home I'm desperate for some grown-up communication. Anyway, I bring this up because this is one of the reasons why I love so much to get together with my girlfriends so that I can have people to really talk to!
So, one of our favorite places to go is Costco and now that Becca is sitting up we've recently been having her sit in the cart at the stores. It's especially fun at Costco, because they have the double seats so Emma and Becca can sit right next to each other. It took a picture because I thought they were so cute and odd looking sitting next to each other like this... it makes Emma look like a giant and Becca appears even smaller than she really is with her big sister keeping such close company. You can also see that Emma takes just after her daddy with her interest in XBOX games. :)

I love the way babies look sitting up in shopping carts. What cute little girls you have.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for playgroups, they're good for the kids and the moms too.
ReplyDeleteEmma does look like a big girl next to little Becca.
Such a cute little family.
That's a cute pic in the cart! :)
ReplyDeleteI think your mom can identify with the talking after work thing.
ReplyDeleteCostco is the perfect place for family outings, this week Ty and I went to pick up some office supplies and for lunch. He mentioned how he and his wife love to meet there for dates. I think I've tried the same with your mom, something romantic about dining under those red umbrellas in the food court, just like a quaint bistro in the French Quarter!
Oh dad... that's hillarious!
ReplyDeleteI made it on your blog...I've been waiting and waiting...jk. I LOVE COSTCO!!! Your little girls look so cute sitting side by side in the shopping cart.
