More summer fun

We are trying to squeeze in all of the last minute fun we can as we get ready to start a new school year. There will be lots of changes for everyone. The biggest change will be that the babies will start going to a home daycare every day. I am very excited that I was able to get TWO spots in the day care where I wanted them. I know they will be very happy, but I am having a hard time dealing with leaving them. They have only ever stayed with family, so this will be a big transition. I know after a week or two we will be in a great routine, though.

We took a trip to visit Aunt Ivy and Uncle Tony. The babies did great sleeping in the pack and plays. They were also real troopers while Ivy and me did our usual marathon shopping. They each got a new hat and onesie from Aunt Ivy. The babies took their first bath together on our visit. It was lots of fun... for Rush. He splashed around like a crazy man. I think he thought he was in hippo pool. He soaked the bathroom and us. Sydney Frances thought it was funny at first, but then she stood up and tried to climb out of the tub. She was over it by then! We gave them mohawks. Of course, Fran's is already in perfect position to be placed in a mohawk when dry, so her wet head would be a punk rockers dream. Ha! Rush's hair is starting to get curly, so it was just curling around everywhere as he splashed.






We have also been hanging out in the hippo pool when we are here at home. Always a fun time! I took lots of picture last time trying to capture some with their toothy grins.





Now, this one is just for fun... Rush just cracked me up because something caught his attention on TV one afternoon after the pool. He was mesmerized. Knowing my summer television habits, it was probably Pa playing his fiddle while Half-pint and Mary danced in a circle with Ma and Carrie clapping nearby. :-) They don't ever pay attention to the TV, so this was little unusual.
