Sisterly Love

With Gracie in Kindergarten now and gone half the day, Sophie and Gracie have grown even closer. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? Not only are they loving their playtime together before school, they are sleeping the same room now!

I used to always tell them not to talk and to go right to sleep, but then felt guilty about suppressing good sisterly conversations at night, so I decided not to say that anymore.


Here are a few other sisterly things they have enjoyed together these past few weeks:

Dressing up...

Two Hawaiian babes modeling their new dresses, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Shaw.

Going to LOTS of sporting events....

We love supporting Aggie sports. But after about the 2 hour mark, the girls usually turn into wiggle worms, cry, or turn ridiculously silly. Sometimes all three.

Cooking....

We saw Aunt Rachel eating her pumpkin cookie while Skype-ing with her so, of course, we all were craving our own. Yummy. Cooking with the girls is great fun. Gracie even learned to crack an egg.

Hanging out...

We went to Gracie's school carnival last night. Before we moved here, I had never in my life seen a ATV-pulled train. Maybe one. But it is quite common to see a little family of 6 being pulled around the town in one of these "water storage containers on wheels" trains. The girls love them. I loved this particular train because it had seat belts.
