Time Flys

It's time for a pillow fight!

Jeff and Claire love to have pillow fights. I am surprised at how hard they hit each other and then just laugh about it. Sometimes Claire laughs so hard that she has to stop the pillow fight until she can control her laughing! She is one tough kiddo! It sure is fun to be a spectator at events like these!

At the park with Elliott

After our doctor visits, we got to go to the park with our friends Rachael and Elliott. It was so fun to watch Claire and Elliott play together and follow each others lead. We had to work at keeping them focused on the playground instead of wandering off to get into other things but overall, they seemed to have a fun time. Claire goes to preschool with Elliott and I can see them becoming very good friends. We may have trouble on our hands when they get a bit older!

Time for your check-up!

Today Claire and I got to play doctor. She has a play doctor kit and she decided that all of her babies were not feeling good. She worked hard to get them better. First she checked their blood pressure, then she checked their temperature. After this she looked into their ears and into their eyes. Finally she had to give them each a shot and then they amazingly felt better! It is so much fun watching her little imagination go wild. She has really started to role play a lot and comes up with some very clever stories! Grandma and Grandpa will have their fill of laughs when they come to visit next month!
One cute thing Claire has started to say is "Quickly, my dears". She tells me this often when she wants me to hurry and do something fast. I am guessing she learned this from her preschool teacher. Too cute!

Painting pumpkins with friends

Today we had a busy day. It started with having 7 friends over to decorate pumpkins and decorate cookies. Each child had their own little pumpkin and we had paint, pipe cleaners, pom poms, google eyes, sticky shapes and letters, and glitter. It was fun to watch the kids all do different things with their pumpkins. Claire liked the paint the best. After we finished with that, we brought the kids inside and they got to each frost their own cookie and put sprinkles on it before eating it. Then they got to run around to wear off the sugar in their system! This afternoon we were able to go visit with Me-maw and Paw-paw before going to the park with Daddy. We definitely enjoyed the day of cooler weather today.
