That’s the sound of your 3 year old sneaking Smarties from a favor bag and eating it for breakfast.

At least she shared with her sister!

Evelyn has reached a fun phase in her development where she can climb into many of the fast food playgrounds, but of course is too scared to slide down on her own. Lillian seemed to be in this phase for a looooong time. Hopefully Evelyn gets over it sooner. At least there are usually helpful older kids around to coax them back to the stairs. Older sisters who are almost 4 and are sent up to assist seem to think trying for a few seconds and then climbing over to go down the slide is helpful enough.

Some of you may be thinking that there aren’t enough pictures of Lillian lately. It’s not that Evelyn is hogging the camera (when I even remember to have one) it’s just that Lillian has also hit a fun phase. The make a really weird face that toddlers seem to think is a winning smile phase. Also, everytime I take a picture, Lillian immediately wants to see it, which pretty much ruins whatever I was trying to take a picture of in the first place. Ah, the old days of film are sorely missed sometimes!

My most normal picture in the last 4 months!

As usual for this time of year, we are busy little bees. Tomorrow is my birthday, yay! We’re currently getting ready for a garage sale on Saturday, and after that is Jason’s 35th birthday party to get ready. In the mix, Evelyn turned up sick yesterday. She had a fever and spent the whole day lying on the couch. She perked up a bit this morning and seems back to normal now.

Lillian and Evelyn are both enjoying the pool this year and I’ve been surprised that Lillian is disappointed when she asks what she’s doing that day and I tell her grandma is coming over to play. I guess she was more excited about going to school 3 days a week than she let on. We do have her signed up for a VBS in a few weeks, so maybe that will perk her up a bit.

Jill dropped off our old playmat and both girls thought it was the best toy ever

Evelyn has been skipping some naps and this is usually the result right before dinner

Our sicky with her bff

Lillian decided to write ‘mom’ in a ‘P’ (huh?)

As most of you know, Justine has worked for the Tonight Show for a long time. Now that Jay Leno is moving to a new show, she and most of the staff are moving with him. On his final episode they showed pics of the crew during the credits. Congrats and good luck on the new show!
