It turns out you can clean the storage room with kids' help! I spent this week going through boxes in the basement, and the kids enjoyed playing with toys as I discovered them! Our jungle stuffed animals were a big hit after the girls recovered from the terror of Ed chasing them with a crocodile. He had a hard time explaining to them it wasn't real!
I enjoyed discovering matching outfits I had saved from when the girls were little. These were dresses for Amanda and Crystal 28 years ago!
Mabel and Clementine both fit in the Tinkerbell costume, but neither one of them has seen Peter Pan!
I tried to get Clementine to pose with her ladybug pillow showing, and with her face looking over her shoulder! We could get the back or the face, but not both at the same time!
Ed and I haven't been working out much, but the kids really enjoyed using our trampolines! We also let them play with trolls and beanie babies!
The Jenny-O houses were a real hit. Mabel is old enough not to choke on the tiny dolls. Clementine doesn't seem to want to put them in her mouth, but we kept an eye on her!
We pulled Mona out of the puppet box to give a reprise of
The Lion Sleeps Tonight!
We've had pajama parties every night, followed by bedtime stories! Grandpa is especially good about putting expression into the reading! He's also good about going downstairs a half hour later and telling the girls to get back in bed! Just like old times!
