A little funny from Tessa...

The kids have a tendency to play around at dinner quite a bit and then wonder why they are the last to finish dinner. Tonight was no different. Tessa was playing around instead of eating. Mommy tells her to quit playing and start eating. Tess replies with "Mom, I'm just making memories." Not sure how to argue that one. 

Road Trip

Wondering where we've been the last week? You guess it...on a road trip. We went to visit Mimi and Pop Pop in Indiana. Two full days of driving both ways resulting in a lot of this:

 and this:

 and of course we had to have the "ipop" (Teah's pronunciation)

 Thank goodness for rest stops with playgrounds (somebody's a genius)

 and fun little dollar store goodies like glow sticks

 as well as hotel pools.

 We finally made it.

 And boy did we have fun. Two little girls don't need much....

 a hula hoop

  a whole lotta nature,

 sprinklers,

 follow the leader,

 girl time,

 the occasional nap,

 having a blast with our cousin Addy,

swings,

 family,

 swimming,

 Firefly hunts,

 fun at the Children's Museum,

and a visit to the Cracker Barrel...all to make memories to last a lifetime.

  Mommy's two favorite pictures of the trip taken by no other than the girls themselves. Maybe she should get a few pointers.

Love those glasses sweet girl.
