Nana Visits

When we have visitors we like to find some fun things to do but this time we stayed around town and went to the park every day instead of going on a trip somewhere. We did get a chance to go out to eat across from the Salt Lake Temple and walked around a little with Claire and Shay so we could get the spirit of the temple and enjoy temple square.

Claire

This week she has had fun having Nana Cox visiting because my aunts come and visits too so they can all play with her. We went to the park every day and she was able to show off how good she is at climbing up the latter and sliding down the slide. She got a splinter on Saturday from the wood chips at the park and we got half of it out really easy but the other half was stuck and we tried a trick to get it out. We put a band-aid on it with some antibacterial cream on it over night and it popped out so easily in the morning! I'll definitely remember that trick in the future cause digging for a splinter on a little one is not a good time, and it must have worn Claire out because she fell asleep early on Saturday night. Unfortunately, that means she woke up early on Sunday and we think she is getting a little sick and it has messed up her sleeping.

Shay

Our little wiggler is getting so great at moving around and can get up on her knees some times too which means she is going to be too mobile soon...uh oh. When Claire started crawling we were on a whole other level of baby proofing the house and now we are getting to that point again. We have to hide cords and clean the floor as often as possible in preparation for her to get into things so she can eat everything she touches. She already puts everything into her mouth, what a fun stage to be at because she will try to take our phones and eat them. It is pretty cute but dangerous when somethings are too dirty or delicate so it shouldn't be eaten. Luckily there is dad around to feed her things like popcycles to replace the things she shouldn't eat, right?

Me Time

I got to go get a hair cut this week which never happens as often as they suggest it to happen so I get it get it slightly shorter than I like it so it can grow for longer. The hair stylist is always fun to go to because it makes me want to go to spa stuff more and get my nails done, I just need more opportunity to pamper myself. I'm too busy with the girls and taking care of the house that I never feel like I get my own free time unless its late at night when the girls are asleep and then everything is closed. I also get that hour and a half at the gym every day when Claire and Shay play with others but that's different 'me' time.
