Bubble Baths

The girls have been sick the last few weeks. Once they got over the colds we started with stomach flu that has gone on and on and on. So now we are off dairy for a week hoping that does it. So given that they have been extra smelly they have been taking lots of baths. Their dad has perfected how to get the maximum amoung of bubbles in the tub.They have been good sports and handle being sick pretty well...

Soo big..

The girls turned 18 months last Tuesday. We all had colds and were miserable so I didn't even realize it until the day was almost over. They went to nursery for the first time together on Sunday. They had both "visited" before but not at the same time. They were fine. Ken and I walked them in and walked out. The nursery person was worried about telling them apart but we tried to point out their differences but I don't know if she had the right girl with the right name or not. I will have to dress them differently next week- I hadn't thought about that. I waited outside the door thinking one of them might care that it shut with us on the other side but they didn't. The only tears came when they brought Makenna for a diaper change and she wanted a treat out of the diaper bag that I wouldn't let her have. Once I took her back to nursery and distracted her she was fine. I hope it goes as smoothly every week.

And thanks to Grandpa Ted for finding the dress for Olivia.

Beep! Beep!

My parents got the girls these cute cars for Christmas and they love them. They cry to go outside every morning. It's been cold the last couple days so we haven't gone out and they get so mad. They kept my dad busy out there pushing them the last few days he was here.We waited to put them together until the weather was better ans so they wouldn't be overwhelmed with new things. They haven't figured out how to go forward but can go in reverse on their own. At least I'll get a work out pushing them around for awhile.

Happy New Year!!!

We had a impromptu New Years eve party. It is a Thompson tradition to have frappe (sherbet and sprite) at midnight and when I went to the store I picked up on of those bags w/ hats. blowers , etc.. I didn't notice that it had confetti but Olivia did she immediately tore into it.

My parents were still visiting and we watched the east coast celebrate on Fox news. I let the girls stay up and have frappe. It was so fun to see them react. They liked blowers and confetti. Olivia would try to blow it but would just make the noise with her mouth. Makenna liked gathering the confetti and putting it in her train. Olivia eventually wore a hat but Makenna was determined not to.
