We went to the 4-H County Fair for a couple hours this past weekend. Hannah had sign up and completed a Pom-Pom Mouse project and we rode a few rides while we were there. Emily absolutely loved the car ride. I say that ride in particular because for for some reason this was the only ride she could ride on for her height. It is just a reminder of just how small she is at 2 1/2. I wish I had remembered my camera as it would have made a cute picture of Hannah teaching Emily to steer her car with the steering wheel, even though it automatically only went around and around in a circle. Hannah seemed to be in the middle as she was too big for the kiddie rides but still afraid to ride the bigger rides-which was really fine with me. After the fair we went to our favorite pizza place (Starlight Pizza). Other than this I am sad that Hannah will be starting school on Aug 12 as I have gotten used to the extra hour of sleep in the morning!!! And it seems like we will be spending a paycheck on school clothes and shoes as she has outgrown everything this summer. Here are a few pictures from our week.
We found a hat that we bought for Hannah when she was around 3 years old. I thought it would be nice for Emily to wear while playing in the sandbox in the sun, but it turns out she will only keep it on for a matter of seconds. Just like her sister. And they look so adorable in hats too.
Spaghetti Night!!! Remember the Disney movie of the dogs that would eat the piece of spaghetti and when they got to the middle they would end up kissing? That's our kids!!! And don't tell them-but it got them to eat a few more bites after they said they were done.
Sister Squeeze!!! They may have their moments of sibling rivalry and jealousy but at the end of the day-sisters seem to always prevail.
This weekend we are getting together with some of Emily's adoption group. Watch for pictures next week-these are amazing kids!!!
Love the spaghetti picture! What great sister bonding! Hey, just a thought: we are going to make August 15th (the day we got Julianne's referral), "Sister Day". A day to celebrate sisters! You know, they have Mother's Day and Father's Day, but there isn't a sibling day. So we are going to make one. Not sure what the day will hold, but we'll probably let the girls decide. Every year we'll celebrate it.
