Swimming: They enjoy swimming (on there own terms). Anna is pretty nervous and doesn't want to "fall under". She wades around and floats in a tube most of the time. I tried to get her to float out where she can't touch and she threw a fit! Megan loves jumping off the sides, but says "that's scary" if she goes under. She never wants to leave and is often crying and kicking when she does.
Playing with kittens: They sure love packing them around! Yesterday I woke up to meowing sounds outside my back door. Sure enough all 5 kittens were waiting there with their mom. What a good Mom to take care of all of them and her "toddler" kitten.
Riding Bikes: Yesterday Anna got a new bike, paid for with Mommy's money from selling bows in Vernal. She does really well with it. Megan has taken over the trike, she says "big bike is too scary". They sure like riding around on our big pad of cement we poured this summer for our pavilion. It is a work in progress, but already has been a lot of fun. Anna decorated her trike at a Primary Activity and followed a bike course (chalk line drawn around the parking lot.) Now her and Megan keep adding stickers and whatever they can find to decorate their bikes. Today they put screws in holes on the handlebars. Anna also draws her own chalk line to follow. Kids sure can entertain themselves!
Just Pretending: They also love to pretend they are dancers, doctors, Mommies, Daddies, little kids, the list keeps growing! Megan's favorites are "baby bird". She pretends to be a baby bird that blew away, and wants someone to be the Mommy bird to come take care of her; she also loves to be the Daddy or Baby brother. Anna loves pretending she is a teacher or ballerina or the Mommy and wants someone to be her "son daughter".
Decorating crocs/clogs: We call them clogs. Anna has seen all the cute decorations on other's. We found some at a store and bought one for each of the girls. These got lost and broken though. So we found some jewel decorations and hot glued them on. A fun activity and cheaper than the real ones!
They sure keep me busy, but I love little everyday things like these!
