when I grow up....

snowman from library class

 "mommy, when i grow up i want to be an everything teacher!"

 oh the things you say, katie.

the other yesterday

both girls have been sick with colds lately.  gwynnie got it first, when i noticed she had a temperature a couple days ago.  she also had a few little red marks on her abdomen, which went away when i put some high-zinc diaper cream on them.

katie just finished eating a boiled egg, got a shower and put her pajamas on.  she had a measurement of childrens' tylenol and now is taking a well-needed nap.  gwyneth has her regular "elevensies" nap, so both girls are out in dreamland.

i thought i'd take this opportunity to jot down a few things you both have done, katie and gwyneth.

katie, as you were getting wrapped into your covers for a nap, you said "gwyneth was sick yesterday.  well, not yesterday but the other yesterday."

you love logging onto games on the kindle fire device, READING everything you can, and being 'fancy' and playing dress up.  you also love to show off your increasing talents at the piano.

a little while ago we were at disneyland and we were wondering why they were renovating the matterhorn ride.  you said we should ask someone who lives there.

gwyneth, your smiles lighten up the day.  your chubby cheeks just love to be kissed and you are keenly interested in touching and squeezing my lips and mouth, usually when you are nursing.  you are really onto a routine now, and any variation from it calls for a bit of a fit; mostly you are a calm, happy camper, though, babbling and trying out your voice with extremely high pitches.

night out at the movies

saturday night daddy and i took katie and gwyneth out to the movies.

 it has been raining a little, so it was very appropriate that

singing in the rain

was playing.

we had a few treats.

Katie's latest artwork

 we loved seeing a little piece of history, one of the earliest theatres, from the 1920s.

Wurlitzer organ

 katie said the movie was reeeeally long, but she liked it.

since they projected old reels of a silent film first and played music 

on the wurlitzer organ,

singing in the rain didn't begin until much later than the 8:15 start time 

that was posted.

                       

the girls slept really well that night.
