Thanks a lot, PopPop!

Dennis told me I had to post this! Ever since PopPop stayed with us the week of Spring Break and shared the guest bathroom with the girls, Amity has been fascinated with the idea of leaving the toilet seat ALL THE WAY UP. She knows this is the "boy way" (she doesn't understand why!) but she is now in the routine of putting the seat back up when she is done using the potty "the girl way". 

I am sure her future husband will love her for this! :)

Let it rain!

It hasn't rained much yet this spring and somebody has been very eager to wear her new raincoat from Lolly! On Monday, we got ayiddlebit (Amity's version of "a little bit") of rain and she was so excited to wear all of her gear.

When Dennis got home from work, she went outside to help him water the flowers. Yes, it was such ayiddlebit that the flowers still needed watering! 

Amity was really excited about the potential puddles for jumping but there were none to be found so her Daddy created some with the hose.

Little sister was very sad to not get to join in on the fun but wet grass and knee walking just aren't a good mix!
 

Tour de Dallas

Our bikes have been "resting" in their places hanging from the garage ceiling ever since I was pregnant with Amity. Dennis decided that it was time to get them down and decided to look into getting a bike trailer to take the girls out on rides with us. We got a good deal on a trailer on Craigslist and I found two helmets at the Just Between Friends sale last week.

The first day that he decided to take both girls out was somewhat cold and windy so we bundled them up.



 And off they went! Vivien did not enjoy it very much so she returned home after a short ride. We think and hope that it was due to her poison ivy/ear infection/molars coming in. Amity loved it! She has been joining Dennis for rides almost every afternoon. As soon as I can figure out how to get dinner ready with time to spare, I want to join them too!
