Settling September

Claire

It has started to get cool enough in the mornings that the girls bring out their blankets and cuddle up for our morning cartoons. I am usually making breakfast, like my mini ones, or doing dishes because I'm most productive in the morning so they each cocoon themselves in their blankies until I call for them to come eat. On Saturday, we had a cleaning day and Claire was a big helper by cleaning up all the toys and picking up the things off the floor so I could sweep and mop. Then they were both excited to help clean the car as a family activity since I was tired to seeing it so messy while working out every morning! She loves making rainbows when we color and uses sidewalk chalk for outside, pens or crayons for paper and even did it on the Gospel Kids app during church.

Shay

Whenever we color it is because Shay has asked to because she asks ALL the time. She is the reason all of my crayons are missing the paper on them too because of reasons I guess.  We inherited some new cloths that gave us a lot of new PJs for Shay to wear and she likes to wear the fishy ones even when it isn't bed time. Her effort was good but they were upside down, half inside out, and probably backwards so they wouldn't go all the way on her legs. She kept looking at me and going "grr" because her other leg would go through the hole all the way. She loves just saying my name to get my reaction instead of wanting anything then will giggle when I look her then say it more. Its the best when she yells in through the halls of the church into our class because she has to go potty...right?

Pictures

I will have pictures hopefully next week to share because I won a prize to get professional pictures taken! I was a dunce and didn't take any of my own while we were all dressed up or while we were getting ready. I spent all of Friday doing our nails, hair, and my make up done so that right when our friend went home we could drive to the studio. Claire is ready to be a supermodel and followed the photographers directions really well during pictures, while Shay had one cheese face that was what you see above at the table. Hopefully we got a few ones and afterwards we ate at Subway and plan to use the gift card I won along with the pictures to a restaurant next week for a date.
