Harper found a Mickey light saber at a garage sale earlier that day. She brought it to all evening activities that weekend.
The girls had so much fun (and so did I)!!

Fireflies!
We took the girls to see fireworks in a nearby town the night before the 4th. We put the girls in their nightgowns before we left and parked on the side of the road. The fireflies came out while we were waiting, so the girls got to catch them for the first time. Seeing their excitement was one of the highlights of my summer!

Four and a Quarter
Time flies. I'm feeling under the weather with a summer cold, so I'll post more details later, but here's a picture of my sweet girls at 4 years and 3 months.

Picnic in the Park
Wei-Yand had to go to Wisconsin for work on day, and the girls had been asking for a picnic in the park, so I packed up a picnic complete with fun shaped sandwiches, and we hit the playground at the girls' future elementary school. It's really nice because it has covered picnic tables and lots of different play structures.
My fun shaped sandwiches were a hit.
I also discovered that the girls can do this on their own.

Vacation!
I can't believe how quickly the month of June flew by. That was partly because we took a week-long vacation to Hilton Head. Living so close to the beach, we don't usually take beach vacations in the summer, but Wei-Yand's sister invited us to come, and we had a blast.
We drove down to Northern Kentucky on Friday night, spent the night at Gu Gu's house, then continued to South Carolina (with 8 people in the van) on Saturday. It was a lot of driving, but the girls did really well.
We had a three bedroom condo with plenty of room for everyone.
There was a pond on the way to the beach that was chock full of turtles. There must not have been any alligators in that pond (despite the signs warning us of alligators all over the resort).
We spent the week relaxing on the beach and by the pool. It was really hot, and the water was really warm, so we did a lot of swimming. The girls' puddle jumpers continue to be an excellent investment. However, on our first trip to the pool, I noticed that Tannah had started putting her face in the water. I told her she should try to take her puddle jumper off and see what happens. She took it off, and off she went. She can only swim the distance that she can hold her breath, but she had so much fun and was so proud of herself.
One night we happened upon a little street party, so the girls got to jump in the blow up toys.
We started out most days by going to the beach, until the reports of shark attacks and a near miss with a jellyfish sent us running back to the pool.
On our last night we went to Harbor Town to shop and take in the concert. It was a great way to end the week!

The girls had their first mini golf experience and got to match their cousin. They thought that was pretty cool.

T-Ball
I was so excited to sign the girls up for instructional t-ball. It was every bit as cute as I thought it would be.

Four Years and Two Months!
Seriously.
At 4 years and 2 months:
They love going for walks and rides around the block. They especially love family bike rides.
They love to play games, dress up, and do puzzles.
The girls have both been "reading" to us at night. This usually involves them making up stories or repeating every sentence I read.
They love to sing.
They wear size 5T shirts and pants. They wear size 10 shoes.
They sleep from about 8:30 until 7. They nap for about 45 minutes during the week and often skip naps on weekends. Bedtime has been a struggle again lately.
They still love their blankies and any number of rotating stuffed animals. Their favorite changes daily/weekly.
They love blowing bubbles (or having me blow them while they chase after them).
They love helping and are always asking to "do chores". They especially love sweeping and doing dishes.
They've been asking for snuggles every night, so we usually lay with them for a few minutes after reading books and singing our good night song.
