They're Baaa-aack!

First on the agenda . . . tea party.

Next . . . dress up, of course.
Reesi "I'm the mommy."
Grace: "I'm the big sister."
Lyla: "I'm the doggy."

Movie Night


I did not realize how much I depended on my sister and her girls for entertainment until they were gone for a week. Not only did I miss the adult interaction, but I missed Reesi being entertained. Five minutes into the day Reesi would already be shouting, "Mommy, play with me."

Mommy is great at going to the mall, the science museum, the library, the zoo, the pool, going on bike rides, etc. Mommy is not good at playing pretend. It is pretty bad. I sit there with Barbie in my hand not knowing what to say. It is more awkward than a first date with your girlfriend's ex-boyfriend; not that I ever did that. Anyway, it always gets pathetic enough that Reesi ends up feeding me lines that I just repeat.

Needless to say, Reesi and I were very excited when Grace and Lyla returned from their Florida vacation. They spent the day at our house and then Reesi went to their house for movie night while Larry and I went to the movie. Thank goodness our cousins are our neighbors!
